They announced their engagement in July, alongside a beachside photoshoot showing off Demi's shining diamond ring.  

Earlier this month, Demi admitted they were considering eloping amid the pandemic limiting large gatherings to 10 people.

The singer shared that she wants their wedding to be "sacred" between them, as she dished to Popcrush Nights. 

Seeming torn between a big wedding and eloping she said "On one hand, I would love to elope because my life is so public and I want to keep it sacred between me and him."

Their relationship seemed to hit rocky water earlier this month when fans claimed to have screenshots of tweets and other social media posts by Max pitting Demi and her former BFF Selena Gomez, against each other.

Demi took to Instagram earlier this month to seemingly debunk a slew of viral screenshots that showed rude tweets made by Max, in 2015.

"It's really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other. If women have conflict that's between them NOT YOU," the former Disney star wrote. 

In the 'fake' tweets, Max allegedly wrote that Lovato's former best friend Selena was 'prettier' and more vocally gifted that her.

In her Instagram Story posts, Demi appeared to passionately challenge the validity of the past tweets and she went as far as to urge 'tabloids' to write about 'more important sh*t.'

"Secondly, don't y'all have more important s**t to write about in 2020??? I challenge any tabloid that dares to type my name to mention Breonna Taylor and the face that her murderers still haven't been arrested. WRITE ABOUT THAT," she wrote.  

One of Max's fake tweets read: "Hahaha Selena Gomez and demi are cute together [sic] but boy if you think demi is prettier…you're WRONG!"

Selena Gomez is, clearly, a touchy subject for Demi, being that the pair have endured a rocky friendship since rising to fame on Disney Channel in the mid-2000s.

Lovato opened up about their crumbling friendship in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in May.

"When you grow up with somebody, you're always going to have love for them. But I'm not friends with her, so it felt….I will always have love for her, and I wish everybody nothing but the best," she explained.
