Demi Lovato was 'super nervous' coming out as 'sexually fluid' to her parents

Demi Lovato admits she was ‘super nervous’ coming out to her mother.

In 2017, the Sorry Not Sorry singer discussed her sexuality, telling InStyle: ‘I’m very fluid.I think love is love. You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want.’

And addressing her comments that she doesn’t know whether she’ll start a family with a man or a woman, Demi has revealed that she only came out to her parents the same year.

Telling Andy Cohen that she was still ‘figuring it out’, the 27-year-old said: ‘I didn’t officially tell my parents that I saw myself ending up possibly with a woman too until like, 2017.’

Speaking on Andy’s SiriusXM show, Demi continued: ‘It was actually, like, emotional, but really beautiful. After everything was done I was like shaking and crying and I just felt overwhelmed.

‘But I have such incredible parents, they were so supportive. My dad was like, “yeah, obviously”. I was like, “ok, Dad”. He said “hello, Cool For The Summer”. OK, I get it.

‘My mom was the one I was super nervous about but she was just like “I just want you to be happy” and that was so beautiful and amazing and I’m like I said, so grateful.’

The star – who made her return to the stage at the Grammys following her overdose in 2018 – said: ‘I don’t know what my future looks like, I don’t know if I’m gonna have kids this year or in 10 years.

‘I don’t know if I’m gonna do it with a partner or without. Women, we don’t need partners to… y’know. Men too.’

Demi previously had a six year relationship with Wilmer Valderrama, while she dated Joe Jonas, Luke Rockhold and Guilherme Vasconcelos and recently split from Austin Wilson.

The former Disney star has officially made her return to the stage after her near-fatal overdose two years ago, and after an emotional performance at the Grammys, she’s taking to another huge stage this weekend.

Demi will perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday night, following in the footsteps of Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera.
