Sorry Not Sorry: Max Ehrich discovered split from Demi Lovato via tabloid 

Demi Lovato and her soap-opera star ex, Max Ehrich may have called it quits, but the drama is far from over.  

The two called off their engagement on Sept. 24, after old tweets of Ehrich surfaced where the actor was thirsting after other A-list stars such as Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus. Lovato initially denied the validity of the tweets on Instagram. 

The star issued a statement through the app’s story feature, saying “It’s really sad when people FAKE images to pit women against each other.” However, sources later revealed Lovato was “Really upset,” after the tweets surfaced. They went on to say, “She is head over heels for Max and doesn’t want to be heartbroken.” 

After Lovato posted a selfie to her Instagram story sans her engagement ring and with a shirt that read “Dogs over people.” 

Her ex-fiance posted on his story that he found out of the breakup, while filming a Chrisitan movie, “Through a tabloid.” 

Ehrich then posted that the couple “haven’t officially ended anything to each other,” he then posted screenshots of her songs and captioned them “Demetria is THE best female vocalist alive.” Sources revealed that because of this, Lovato “is completely embarrassed… She wants nothing to do with him.” The drama is over for now but from the looks of it, this is not the last we will hear from the former couple.

Recently, Jenner went on Instagram Live with political commentator, Jon Favreau. The social media star began the stream by telling followers “Happy National Voter Registration Day! As I’m getting ready to vote, I wanted to make sure you guys were ready to vote, and registered,” Favreau and Jenner then proceeded to have an open conversation about the upcoming election.
