Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich have been dating for just over six months now and got engaged after less than five months together. But those close to Lovato have become concerned
about Ehrich's intentions, E! reports—especially after old comments he made about wanting to marry Lovato's ex-friend Selena Gomez went viral, along with other posts he made lusting after other celebs like Ariana Grande and Gigi Hadid on Instagram and Twitter.
Lovato called the posts "fake" in a statement posted to her Instagram Story: "It’s really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other," she wrote. "If women have conflict that’s between them NOT YOU. Secondly, don’t y’all have more important shit to write about in 2020???"
Ehrich deleted his Twitter, and fans posted screenshots of Ehrich's tweets and a video of an Instagram Live where he gushed about Gomez and confirmed he has tweeted about his feelings for her.

"I think she’s an extremely, extremely, extremely talented girl, and I’ve actually had a major crush on her since 2010," he started in the old Instagram Live video. "And I—my teenage self, like, said it in an interview as well so it’s kind of been this ongoing thing but then like obviously I put it out on Twitter, and I didn’t even realize that would catch like—that people would take that like seriously."
"But yeah, I honestly think Selena Gomez is an extraordinary women," he continued. "What she stands for charity-wise, just being an activist, she just has a great heart. Her heart is in the right place. She loves Jesus. She loves God. She’s just like, she’s an angel, and I love her, but on top of that, I respect her musically and I want to make music with her. Okay? I want to make a song with her and put out a song."
Lovato was "hurt" by the drama, E! reports. A source said that Lovato was "really upset" when the Ehrich-Gomez posts surfaced on social media. "She is head over heels for Max and doesn't want to be heartbroken," that source said. "She truly cares about Max and wants to think his intentions are genuine."
Friends are a little less convinced now. "People close to Demi have expressed that they are worried and are hesitant about Max," the source added.
