Personal life

Demi is best friends with fellow Barney & Friends actress Selena Gomez. The two have created a YouTube account together, and since January 2008, they have been making and uploading their own videos. When asked a question of how long the pair have been friends, Demi answered "When I asked her to sit on my jacket and draw with crayons with me! (at the Barney auditions)". Jennifer Stone, another Disney star, and former Barney co-star, is also one of Lovato's and Gomez's close friends. Along with close friends, such as Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers, Demi wears a purity ring (not really confirmed, she calls it a necklace), but instead of being a ring, she wears a necklace that says "True Love Waits". Lovato and Gomez are also still friends with childhood friend, Melissa Lee.
