Demi Lovato Breaks Silence On Sister’s Big Pregnancy News

Demi Lovato’s younger sister, Madison De La Garza, just dropped a major bombshell—she’s expecting her first baby--and the "Heart Attack" singer couldn’t be more thrilled.

On Thursday, September 5, 22-year-old De La Garza took to Instagram to reveal her pregnancy, flaunting her baby bump in a sweet snap with her boyfriend, Ryan Mitchell.

In the comment section of the announcement, Demi Lovato, who uses the pronouns she/they, expressed her excitement and joy for her younger sister’s news.

In her caption, De La Garza revealed she’s expecting in October, writing, "Oh Ryan, how I love you. thank you for making all of my dreams come true. baby Mitchell 10.24."

In the comments, her musician sister, Lovato, gushed, "I love you and this baby so much already!!"

Lovato later reposted De La Garza’s announcement on their Instagram Stories, adding, "Congratulations baby girl. I love you so much!!!"

In addition to becoming an aunt, Lovato is getting ready to marry her fiancé.

In a past interview with "CBS Mornings," Lovato said, "I definitely am in a really good place," referring to her relationship with fellow musician Jutes, per Entertainment Tonight. "I don't know what I'm going to write about on my next album because I'm so happy. It is a really good feeling, but I don't know what I'm going to do."

The two crossed paths in the studio, where Jutes co-wrote Lovato's single, "Substance."

"Demi feels happy and fulfilled right now," a source close to the couple told People Magazine at the time. "Life is good. [Jutes'] encouragement and respect have helped her immensely."

Lovato has been open about her struggles with substance abuse throughout her life. Her battle with drugs and alcohol began in her teenage years, which was only worsened by the pressures of fame and personal challenges.

She previously spoke about her first stint in rehab in 2010, after struggling with bulimia, self-harm, and addiction.

In 2018, Lovato experienced a near-fatal overdose from a drug relapse, which she has described as a pivotal moment in her life. The overdose led to a lengthy hospital stay and subsequent rehabilitation but she has since used her platform to raise awareness about addiction and mental health, advocating for support and understanding for those struggling with similar issues.

In her raw documentary, "Simply Complicated," which debuted in October 2017, Lovato admitted that she performed on "American Idol" while dealing with a hangover.

“I would fake my drug tests with other people’s pee. It’s embarrassing to look back on the person that I was,” the actress revealed. “The very last night that I drank, I was at a hotel and I invited two random people and basically just drank with them. I got really, really drunk until it was time to get on a flight."

"And I was so drunk that I threw up in the back of the car service on the way to the airport to perform on 'American Idol.' I felt like that was a moment in my career where I didn’t care," she added. "I just knew that I needed to get high to get through what I was going through at that point.”

Lovato, who kicked off their career at just six years old and became a Disney Channel staple during their teen years, is joining forces with other former child stars for their upcoming documentary, "Child Star."

“I think I’d passed the threshold of what I could withstand emotionally and physically," they told The Hollywood Reporter, recalling their response to growing up in the spotlight. “And I didn’t realize that child stardom could be traumatic — and it isn’t traumatic for everyone, but for me, it was.”

“I think about people in the wardrobe department on my TV show because I’d go in there in bad moods all the time, and I worry about guest stars that came on or the other actors or the people during 'Camp Rock 2,'” Lovato added. “And it’s easy to excuse that behavior because I was so young and in so much pain, but I’m really remorseful, and that’s a guilt that stays with you forever.”

"Child Star" will be available to stream on Hulu on September 17.
