Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama have called it quits.
Lovato, 23, and Valderrama, 36, posted a joint statement on their
Instagram accounts on Friday, calling the decision to break up after six
years "incredibly difficult."
"After almost 6 loving and wonderful years together, we have decided to end our relationship," the joint statement began.
"This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have
realized more than anything that we are better as best friends," the
statement continued. "We will always be supportive of one another. Thank
you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the
years."
In January, Valderrama spoke fondly of the "Complicated" singer
in an interview with ET. "You know, we've been best friends for about
six years," he said at the time. "We haven't necessarily been dating for
six years, but we have six years of friendship, and it's been
beautiful."
Earlier this year, Lovato admitted to ET
that Valderrama had some initial "hesitations" about their significant
age difference. "He had some hesitations. Once I got older, we could be
together," she said, adding, "He's my best friend."
Rumors had also swirled about a possible engagement, to which Lovato told ET, "You'll have to ask him."
In a recent interview with Latina magazine,
the Texas native had nothing but kind things to say about her now-ex,
including that he was more "passionate" than her past boyfriends.
