Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich have reportedly ended their engagement.

The 28-year-old singer and the 'Young and the Restless' actor got engaged in July after just a few months of dating, but it seems they've now decided to go their separate ways, as sources say their romance is over.

An insider told People magazine: "It was a tough decision, but Demi and Max have decided to go their separate ways to focus on their respective careers. They have respect and love for one another and will always cherish the time they spent together."

The split news will no doubt come as a shock to fans, as just weeks ago, the 'Anyone' singer admitted she was considering eloping with her beau.

When I was a little girl, my birth dad always called me his “little partner” - something that might’ve sounded strange without his southern cowboy like accent. To me it made perfect sense. And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else’s partner. @maxehrich - I knew I loved you the moment I met you. It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too.. I’ve never felt so unconditionally loved by someone in my life (other than my parents) flaws and all. You never pressure me to be anything other than myself. And 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. My partner. Here’s to our future!!!! 😩😭❤️🥰😍 Ps. THANK YOU @angelokritikos FOR HIDING BEHIND ROCKS AND CAPTURING THE ENTIRE THING!!! I love you boo!!!

She said: "On one hand, I would love to elope because my life is so public and I want to keep it sacred between me and him. On the other hand, I want my friends and family to be there for a celebration."

The 'OK Not To Be OK' hitmaker also confessed she had already "started looking" at potential wedding dresses, and said her dream gown was "definitely not" a traditional white ensemble.

She explained: "I have my image for what I would want it to [look like] if I got to do a big celebration. I don't wanna give it away but it's definitely not a white dress."

Demi and Max, 29, began dating in March just before the coronavirus pandemic sent many countries into lockdown, and had been staying together through the health crisis.

And the former Disney star previously said she felt "really blessed" to have found love with Max.

She gushed: "We were able to share this time together that we wouldn't have normally gotten to spend. And that accelerated our relationship on a level that, you know, you can't really explain to people, but quarantine either makes or breaks deal. "

"And it really made that. So I'm really, I'm really blessed, really fortunate and continuing to count my blessings every day."
