Demi Lovato told Entertainment Weekly that she used her engagement to actor Max Ehrich to appear stable following her 2018 overdose.
The pair got engaged after only a few months of dating and broke up only two months later.
Lovato told the magazine, “I really had myself fooled, because it was the safe and expected thing. Obviously I cared deeply about the person, but there was something inside of me that was like, 'I have to prove to the world that I'm okay.' Now that I'm not engaged or married and I'm okay, I'm like, 'Wow. Isn't that so much more empowering?' It's not this false sense of security.”
Earlier this month, Lovato told Glamour that ending her engagement to Ehrich helped her realize how queer she really is.
