Demi Lovato Reveals Her ‘Daddy Issues’ Led Her to Date Older Men

Demi Lovato and her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama had a decade-long age gap.

American singer Demi Lovato recently spoke candidly about her past dating experiences, explaining that her inclination to date older men was primarily because of her daddy issue. 

During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Lovato openly reflected on her earlier relationships with older men, describing them as gross.

The singer shared that she believes she once went through a phase where she found herself drawn to older individuals because of the unresolved issues stemming from her relationship with her father.

As Lovato reflected on her past relationships, she recognized that some of her partners had been more than a decade older than her at the time. 

She candidly expressed her feelings, saying, “For me, I was a teenager, and so, to me, that’s unsettling. When you’re 50 or 60, that’s perfectly fine. Even a 30 or 40-year age gap isn’t inherently concerning.” 

However, she had a firm belief that being in a relationship with someone significantly older during her formative years was detrimental to her personal development and could lead to a toxic dynamic. 

The singer emphasized that she can now confidently say that her daddy issues are no longer a part of her inner struggles. She pointed to the evidence of this growth, highlighting that she is currently in a relationship with a partner of her age. 

However, during the interview, the singer carefully avoided mentioning any specific names of her former partners.

Nevertheless, when one Reddit user initiated a discussion about the interview, a significant number of people interpreted Lovato’s comments as a veiled reference to her ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, who is 12 years her senior. 

One individual shared their perspective, commenting, “The actress met her ex Wilmer Valderrama, 43, when she was 17 and he was 29. I knew this but every time I read about it it makes me nauseous. Good on her for realizing.”

Likewise, another individual expressed their empathy, mentioning that they were glad to see Lovato taking the time to process these experiences.

The person went on to share their perspective, recounting that Valderrama’s relationship with her seemed peculiar in any context and especially troubling when considering that he was fully aware of her addiction.

Regarding the singer’s relationship with her late father, it was known to have been challenging. In a 2015 video series about making her album Confident, Lovato courageously disclosed her father’s abusive tendencies. 

She revealed that his father was mean, but he genuinely wanted to improve himself and repair his relationship with the family. Additionally, the singer mentioned that her father faced mental health challenges that affected his ability to lead the family effectively.

Detail on Demi Lovato’s relationship with Wilmer Valderrama

As previously mentioned, Lovato first crossed paths with Valderrama while working on a PSA for Voto Latino in 2010, but at that time, she was only 17 years old. Valderrama, being mindful of her age, decided not to pursue a romantic relationship until she turned 18. 

Later, as soon as the singer turned 18 years old, they officially started dating and were first seen sharing a kiss outside his house in November 2011. They also attended the Topshop Topman LA Opening Party together in February 2013. 

Following that moment, the former couple became more open about their relationship on social media. For example, on Valderrama’s birthday, Lovato expressed her affection on Twitter with a heartfelt message, thanking him for being her support during challenging times.

She wrote, “To the funniest, most inspiring, incredible man I know. @WValderrama – thank you for helping me get through my darkest moments, You truly are a light to this world and to my life. Happy Birthday!!!”

Similarly, in 2014, the singer shared a candid picture of the two of them asleep and added a playful caption, saying, “#TBT to that one time we had an hour to kill before our movie, so we went to the furniture store and took a nap… missing you.”

However, after six years together, the former couple decided to go their separate ways. In June 2016, they took to Instagram and posted a text statement to announce their breakup. 

In the statement, they conveyed that their decision to end their romantic relationship was mutual and emphasized their intention to maintain their friendship.

After the breakup, Lovato dated several older men, but those relationships didn’t work out. Now, she’s in a happy relationship with musician Jordan Lutes. They grew closer while working on Demi’s album Holy Fvck and have been happily dating ever since.
