Demi Lovato Went Instagram Official With Her New Boyfriend
The last time we checked in on Demi Lovato’s love life, she was getting wooed by former Bachelorette contestant Mike Johnson. Well, it’s now very clear that Demi didn’t give Mike her rose after slipping him the keys to her metaphorical fantasy suite. Demi has moved on and gone Instagram official with her new boyfriend.
Demi posted the picture above earlier this morning with the caption: “My [heart emoji].” Hmmm…that tells me it’s pretty serious. Because posting on Instagram is one thing. That’s the confirmation that it’s official. But the heart? It’s obviously love. She skipped right past the customary tongue-out emoji (aka the universal social media symbol for “Might invite him to leave a toothbrush at my place“), and went straight for the heart.
So who is the man that has both 27-year-old Demi’s literal and emoji heart? Popculture.com tells us he’s a 25-year-old Los Angeles- based model named Austin Wilson. Austin’s dad is skateboarder-turned-denim designer George Wilson (aka one of the Dogtown Z-Boys). Demi and Austin reportedly met through their mutual friend, Thomas Trussell III, who passed away last month from a drug overdose.
Austin also confirmed that he and Demi are currently a thing by posting an equally romantic picture to Instagram, and also captioned his with a sentiment about Demi being his “love.” Except his wasn’t in black and white. Thanks to his choice to post in color, we can see that it sort of looks like Demi is dating the love child of Lil Xan and “Can’t Take Me Home“-era Pink.

It’s not known how long they’ve been dating. But considering it was just two months ago that Demi was rumored to be with Mike Johnson, it’s probably safe to assume Demi and Austin have been together for less than two months. And this might not be information that is relevant to some people, but it’s very relevant to any Los Angeles-based retail employees who work on commission this holiday season. You’ve got some bargaining leverage if either one of them walk into your place of establishment, looking to buy a Christmas present. “Okay, so…just one pair of $500 shoes? One? For the person you are allegedly in LOVE with? And yes I know it’s love, I’ve seen the Instagrams.”
