Demi Lovato is engaged to Max Ehrich! On July 23, the 27-year-old singer announced the exciting news by sharing a photo from their romantic proposal on the beach. "I knew I loved you the moment I met you," she wrote in a heartfelt post. "It was something I can't describe to anyone who hasn't experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too. You make me want to be the best version of myself. I'm honored to accept your hand in marriage. I love you more than a caption could express but I'm ecstatic to start a family and life with you. I love you forever my baby."
