Demi Lovato’s new boyfriend is an LA-based model named Austin Wilson. Fans were unaware that the two were even dating until Demi posted a photo on Instagram last night showing the pair cuddling for a selfie in front of a mirror.
Demi posted the black and white picture with the caption “my [heart emoji]”. Austin later followed that with a post of his own to Instagram where the couple shared another tender moment.
