“And I feel like I now have two families. I have my blood relatives and then I have my queer family, and that family to me is the chosen family.”
A year before coming out about her gender identity, Lovato’s engagement to actor and singer Max Ehrich came to an end.
Later, the ‘La La Land’ singer told Glamour she believed that their breakup was a blessing in disguise.
She told the publication: “When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am. This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, ‘This is a huge sign.’
“I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth.”
