Demi Lovatoand boyfriendJutesare still going strong.
In a Friday interview onSiriusXM’sThe Morning Mash Up, the “Cool for the Summer” singer opened up about their relationship with boyfriend Jutes.
“We’re so happy,” she said, as the host added that they look like “friends first and foremost.”
“We became friends first,” the “Confident” songstress, 30, continued. “We were friends for several months and then we decided to start dating and well, after we told each other how we felt.”
When asked who initiated the conversation first, the singer-songwriter said it was “a mutual thing.”
“We were texting, and he said something, and I was like, I took it one way and he was like, ‘OK, if you take it one way, then I know you like me. If you don’t, then…’ You know that kind of thing? And so, I took it that way and he was like, ‘OK, got it.’ Yeah, I’m super happy, and he’s my best friend,” Lovato said, adding that they are a fan of each other’s music.
