Lovato shared some song snippets on their TikTok, where fans were quick to put together videos and share theories on why they think it’s a direct reference to Valderrama. Their evidence is pretty compelling, with the lyrics mentioning their age difference and the age they were when they first got together.

“Fibre on the vine / too young to drink wine / Just five years of bleeders, student and a teacher,” say the lyrics. “Far from innocent / what the f*ck’s consent? / Numbers told you not to / but that didn’t stop you.” Lovato and Valderrama dated for six years, first meeting when she was 17 years old.

“Finally 29 / Funny, just like you were you at the time,” read the lyrics. Thought it was a teenage dream / just a fantasy / But was it yours or was it mine?“ ”Seventeen, 29 / Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh / 17, 29,“ continues the song, highlighting their age difference.

Fans on social media quickly started discussing Valderrama. “Wilmer really did go after all the young Hollywood at the time,” wrote a follower. “When everyone wants to defend him bc he’s soo supportive but ignore he was almost 30 dating a minor?,” wrote someone else.

Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama broke up in the year 2016. The two have spoken about their relationship, sharing mostly positive things. “I met him on January 11, 2010,” said Lovato on the documentary “Simply Complicated.” “I thought, ‘I have to have him,’ but I was only 17 and he was like, ‘Get away from me’,” as he was more than 12 years older. When I turned 18 we started dating. I think it was love at first sight, we connected on a level that I’ve never connected with anybody before, he was just my rock, my everything.”

More recently, Lovato shared that the two haven’t been in contact and that dating someone for so long from such a young age prevents people from truly getting to know themselves. “I’m really happy for him and I wish him nothing but the best, but we’re not in each other’s lives, haven’t spoken in a long time,” said Lovato to Harper’s Bazaar. “But I think I needed that because I needed to learn to be OK on my own. When you get into a relationship with somebody at that young of an age and then you spend six years with somebody, you don’t really get to learn about yourself.”
