2020 has been a very good year for Demi Lovato. The 27-year-old fell in love with former Young and the Restless actor Max Ehrich while the two quarantined in lockdown together starting in March, and now they’re engaged. The “Stone Cold” singer shared the news with her fans in an Instagram post in the early hours of July 23. She wore a white dress on the beach in Malibu, while posing for photos with Max, taken by Angelo Kritikos, right after he asked for her hand in marriage. And he did right when it came to her ring, as she’s sporting a massive multi-carat emerald cut diamond stone. Not long ago on July 3, Demi couldn’t stop gushing about her love for Max.

In the caption of her Instagram engagement post, Demi wrote, “When I was a little girl, my birth dad always called me his ‘little partner’ – something that might’ve sounded strange without his southern cowboy like accent. To me it made perfect sense. And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else’s partner.”
She continued by writing to Max, “I knew I loved you the moment I met you. It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too…I’ve never felt so unconditionally loved by someone in my life (other than my parents) flaws and all. I’m honored to accept your hand in marriage. I love you more than a caption could express but I’m ecstatic to start a family and life with you. I love you forever my baby. My partner. Here’s to our future!!!”
Max gushed about his love for Demi when he posted several additional engagement photos to his own IG page. He wrote, “You are every love song, every film, every lyric, every poem, everything I could ever dream of and then some in a partner in life. Words cannot express how infinitely in love with you I am forever and always and then some. I cannot spend another second of my time here on Earth without the miracle of having you as my wife. Here’s to forever baby.”

Their engagement happened on the beach in Malibu at sunset, and Max made sure to give a shout-out to the photographer who stayed hidden so he could shoot the moment when Demi said yes. “Ps. THANK YOU @angelokritikos FOR HIDING BEHIND ROCKS AND CAPTURING THE ENTIRE THING!!! I love you boo!!!” he wrote. Angelo reposted the photos to his own IG page and recalled about watching the engagement go down, “I am SO happy to witness and capture this incredible moment. Wishing you two the most beautiful life together. Congratulations @ddlovato and @maxehrich LOVE YOU!!” This is the first engagement for Demi, as she dated actor Wilmer Valderrama, 40, from 2010-2016, but they didn’t move towards marriage. Now she’s found her forever partner!
