Demi Lovato has expressed regret over her age-gap relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, stating it was "not okay" for such a relationship. This came during an interview with the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast. Palmer and Lovato both dated people significantly older when they were teenagers. Lovato was referring to her six-year relationship with Valderram when he was 29. She believes that the age gap was a mental break when she realized she was being exploited.
