  • Demi Lovato recalled the moment she came out to her parents.

  • Demi said it was “emotional but really beautiful.”


Demi Lovato just ripped out our collective heart at the Grammys on Sunday night, and before she performs at the Super Bowl this weekend, she stopped to chat with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show and recalled how she came out to her parents.

Demi started out by talking about how she wants to have kids this decade and said she’s still figuring out if she wants to start her fam with a man or a woman. She added, “I didn’t tell my parents that I saw myself ending up possibly with a woman, too, until 2017.”

When Andy asked her about that moment, Demi shared, “It was actually, like, emotional but really beautiful. After everything was done, I was, like, shaking and crying and I just felt overwhelmed.”

Demi said she was most nervous to tell her mom, but both of her parents were super supportive about her sexuality, and her dad was like, “Yeah, obviously,” and referenced her “Cool for the Summer” lyrics. When she told her mom, her mom replied, “I just want you to be happy.” Demi added, “That was so beautiful and amazing, and like I said, [I’m] so grateful.”

Bringing it back around to how she wants to start a family, Demi ultimately said she doesn’t even know if she wants to start one with someone else. She explained, “I don’t know what my future looks like. I don’t know if I’m going to have kids this year or in 10 years. I don’t know if I’m going to do it with a partner or without. Women, we don’t need partners to, you know, amen!”

I mean, where is the lie? Do you, Demi!
