E News reports, the couple had been having several issues for a while, specifically when Ehrich was preparing to head to Atlanta to work on a film.

โ€œThey were arguing a lot and Demi didnโ€™t want him to go without her,โ€ the source told E News. She did end up traveling with him to Atlanta, which is why she started questioning his intentions with her.

โ€œThere has been a lot of tension and Demi left him to get a clear head,โ€ the source said. Lovato was realizing โ€œshe didnโ€™t know who Max truly was and didnโ€™t think he had good intentions. There were many red flags she was ignoring and trying to turn a blind eye to.โ€

โ€œShe doesnโ€™t trust him and thinks heโ€™s sketchy,โ€ another source told E News. She โ€œfeels he proposed to get attention.โ€ While the engagement happened just after five months of dating, Lovato was indeed in love with Max, but she wasnโ€™t convinced that he was with her.

Quarantine Romance

Demi and Max spent together included a coronavirus quarantine, which saw the couple appearing on social media and even popping up in Ariana Grande and Justin Bieberโ€˜s โ€œStuck With Uโ€ music video.

Following the engagement, Lovato wrote that Ehrich is the person who made her want to โ€œto be the best versionโ€ of herself.

Earlier this month, Lovato celebrated six months with Ehrich.

โ€œHappy 6 months to my darling, the best father these pups could ever ask for. I love you BEYOND. Thank you for making my life so much better @maxehrich ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– I love you baby ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž,โ€ she wrote on Instagram.

Twitter Trouble

There was mounting speculation that the relationship was in trouble after Lovato to years-old tweets Ehrich purportedly posted about Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Gigi Hadid, and more celebrities went viral.

He seems to be particularly obsessed with Gomez (Lovatoโ€™s former best friend), whom who wrote multiple times about how he wanted to marry her.

One from 2010 allegedly read, โ€œHahaha selena gomez and demi are cute togueter [sic] but boy if you think demi is prettierโ€ฆyouโ€™re WRONG!โ€ Fans also flagged alleged comments he has made on other pop starsโ€™ social media posts.

Ehrich also gushed about Gomez in an old Instagram Live video, addressing his tweets about her and his longstanding crush.

โ€œI think sheโ€™s an extremely, extremely, extremely talented girl, and Iโ€™ve actually had a major crush on her since 2010,โ€ he started. โ€œAnd Iโ€”my teenage self, like, said it in an interview as well so itโ€™s kind of been this ongoing thing but then like obviously I put it out on Twitter, and I didnโ€™t even realize that would catch likeโ€”that people would take that like seriously.โ€

Before long, Demi addressed the resurfaced tweets in a statement posted to her Instagram Story, writing, โ€œItโ€™s really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each otherโ€ฆIf women have conflict thatโ€™s between them NOT YOU.โ€

Ehrich has since deleted his Twitter account.

Following the social media controversy, a source told E News the performer was โ€œreally upsetโ€ when his alleged posts surfaced on social media.

โ€œShe is head over heels for Max and doesnโ€™t want to be heartbroken,โ€ the source said. โ€œShe truly cares about Max and wants to think his intentions are genuine.โ€

Lovato and Ehrich have yet to publicly address reports of their split.

Hopefully, Demi is surrounded by lots of love during this difficult time.
