Everything We Know About Demi Lovato's Overdose

Publish date: 2024-06-22

Actor Wilmer Valderrama, who Lovato openly referred to as the love of her life, was reportedly taken aback at her overdose. "He knew she was going through a tough time but he wasn't prepared for this," a source close to the That '70s Show star told People. "He saw her through so many ups and downs and was her rock through some of her darkest moments. To see her back in such a sad and vulnerable place is heartbreaking for him."

Lovato and Valderrama split in June 2016. She previously told Cosmopolitan that whenever she and Valderrama had "off-again" periods, it was because she was relapsing. "The only times we ever broke up were when I was relapsing, whether it was drugs or in a bad place and rebelling against everybody, not just him," she told the magazine in September 2015. "People say that relapses happen before you use. Your mind starts setting up the relapse before you take that drink or that first hit. The times we'd broken up, I had already gone to that place of, 'Yeah, this is what's happening.' I didn't realize it at the time, but I just wanted to sabotage everything around me so that I could sabotage myself."

To date, Valderrama has not publicly commented on Lovato's overdose.
