Demi Lovato admits her engagement ending was a 'huge sign' about her sexuality

Demi Lovato gave intimate details about her sexuality after her engagement ended.

The pop star, 28, had got engaged to her ex Max Ehrich after a whirlwind five months of dating.

Calling it off, Demi now has said she's realised it was a "huge sign" and she was filled with a "sense of relief" she could be who she truly is.

She told Glamour magazine : "When I started getting older, I started realising how queer I really am... This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, This is a huge sign."

She added: "I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth."

Since the split, the singing super star has gone onto have casual relationships with women which she expressed "felt better" and "right".

She said: “I hooked up with a girl and was like, ‘I like this a lot more.’ It felt better. It felt right... I didn’t want the romance from anybody of the opposite sex."

Previously, she has had high-profile relationships with Wilmer Valderrama and Joe Jonas.

Later in March, Demi will drop her documentary Dancing With The Devil which details her 2018 near-fatal overdose.

The former Disney star bravely told how she has been left with brain damage, suffered three strokes and a heart attack following her overdose.

Speaking of her experiences, Demi opened up at the documentary's Television Critics Association panel with director Michael D. Ratner.

According to People, she said: "I was left with brain damage, and I still deal with the effects of that today. I don't drive a car, because I have blind spots on my vision.

"And I also for a long time had a really hard time reading. It was a big deal when I was able to read out of a book, which was like two months later because my vision was so blurry.

"I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I feel like they are still there to remind me of what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again. I'm grateful for those reminders, but I'm so grateful that I was someone that didn't have to do a lot of rehabbing. The rehabbing came on the emotional side."
