Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas may have split, but he's still fond of her. "In this business, it's really hard to find people who are going to be there for the rest of your life. When I met Demi, I knew right away that our friendship was really strong. I don't want to lose that ever," he told Teen Vogue in 2010. But why couldn't they make it work?
Jonas opened up about Lovato while talking to Vulture in 2013, saying, "I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with, like drug abuse." Lovato indeed struggled with drugs and even suffered an overdose in July 2018. Jonas continued by admitting, "I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time, I was living a lie because I wasn't happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her because she needed help. I couldn't express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect."
While Jonas and Lovato were dealing with much more than fans realized, they were able to come out of it as friends. In fact, when Jonas revealed his engagement to Sophie Turner on Instagram in October 2017, Cosmopolitan pointed out that Lovato commented, "HUGE CONGRATS!!!!! Sooooo happy for the both of you!!!!" Now that's the kind of relationship with an ex we surely all wish we had.
