Demi Lovato ended her two-month-long relationship with the actor, Max Ehrich, a few days ago. And apparently, Max didn’t know about the break-up?
The famous singer/songwriter and also ex-Disney star, Demi Lovato started sharing her pictures on Instagram without her big stone ring.
That led the fans to believe that Demi was giving them encrypted messages about her break-up with Max.
Demi and Max’s engagement
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, rumors began swirling that the “Stone Cold” singer may have a new bae in her life.
In mid-March, Lovato and Ehrich, who stars on The Young and the Restless, began popping up on each other’s Instagram comments section.
Fans spotted the pair making some pretty flirty comments under each other’s posts.
On March 29, 2020:
While Ehrich sang and played piano for fans during an Instagram Live on his account, Lovato accidentally popped into the video, seemingly not realizing he was live.
In the video, Ehrich was mouthing “I’m on live,” to someone. Lovato, unable to hear him, pops in holding a blanket and asks “hmm?” before Ehrich repeats he’s on live again.

Then on May 8, 2020:
They appeared on a music video of “stuck with you” by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, confirming their relationship.
On July 22, 2020:
The couple got engaged in July after less than five months of dating.
Demi posted (now deleted) on her social media account about her happy news saying;
“When I was a little girl, my birth dad always called me his ‘little partner’ – something that might’ve sounded strange without his southern cowboy like accent. To me, it made perfect sense.”
She added:
“And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else’s partner,”
Lovato captioned a series of Instagram photos of her and Ehrich.
In the photos—taken on a beach seemingly after the pair became engaged—the couple cuddle, kiss, and just look genuinely in love.
Demi broke up because Max was a clout chaser?
After a series of encrypted posts on Demi Lovato’s account without her wearing the engagement ring. Fans and media went off speculating their break-up.
Fans and media starting approaching Demi, asking for answers. After being treated silently every time.
Fans shifted towards Max Ehrich for answers, spamming his comment section, DMS etc. He then posted a series of Instagram stories saying;
“Imagine finding out about the status of your relationship through a tabloid,”
Ehrich continued:
“I was on the set of my new movie, Southern Gospel, with the crew and cast members right next to me who literally watched me open my phone where I then opened a tabloid. This is the God’s honest truth of how I found out about the ending of the engagement,”
He continued, “and have people from my film who saw the whole thing go down and helped me get back into character to continue my job.”
The way Max was highlighting the name of his upcoming movie along with the movie’s behind the scene, made fans feel fishy about this.
According to many people, it seemed as if Max was promoted his movie more than the fact that his engagement ended without HIM KNOWING!
Demi Lovato has yet to give any official statement. But after this whole scenario, she tweeted about her new upcoming song;
Music is always there for me… song in the am

Fans were both thrilled and sad for Demi. Thrilled in the way that Demi conveyed her feelings with sorrowful lyrics and sad in the way for her not finding the love she deserves.
Netizens reaction on this
Fans were calling out Ehrich for being manipulative and a clout chaser.

When Demi Lovato's ex said that he couldn't believe she dumped him because he is playing a pastor in a lifetime movie who helped people, I knew she was dealing with something different. Let us lift her up in prayer!!!
