Demi Lovato is finally over her “daddy issues”!
The Disney Channel alum opened up about how it’s taken her a long time to get past the trauma surrounding her past relationships with older men.
In a candid chat on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, the singer revealed:
“I can say with confidence that my daddy issues aren’t anything that are inside of me anymore.”
That’s great! But she wasn’t done there!

The 31-year-old continued:
“I think there’s a few signs to that. I’m with a partner that is my age, essentially. I look back on the past [of dating older men] and think ‘that’s gross.’”
As we all know, the La La Land artist was most infamously linked to Wilmer Valderrama despite a 12-year age gap — after meeting when the singer was just 17!! She bashed the romance in her diss track 29 last year, calling him out for dating such a young girl — something she would apparently never do now that she’s older.
Now, she’s happily in a “healthy” relationship with 32-year-old Jordan Lutes. That connection has helped her change her perspective on all this.
Gushing about how she hopes to get married and start a family one day with the fellow musician, Demi expressed:
“There’s this partnership there that is just so magnetic, and the way that we laugh together. It’s just nonstop. […] I think if you can find someone that makes you feel safe, that you’re so attracted to, that you laugh with constantly, that’s the formula of a really great relationship.”
Addressing how they met, she recalled working with Jordan on several songs for her album Holy Fvck:
“He came in to write on one of my sessions and I was in the studio and was immediately attracted to him. I like texted my friends on the side and was like, ‘He’s so hot!’”
Aw! So glad she’s in a better place!
