Literally,” Max wrote. “I’m here in real time with y’all. I love Demetria and just want her to be healthy and safe.” He added, “If you’re reading this.... I love you always... unconditionally... no matter what.”
Max broke his silence on the split over the weekend, claiming that he had learned about the status of his relationship “through a tabloid.” However, a source told People magazine, “Demi made Max aware that the relationship was over and it was going to come out in the press.”

News of their split came two months after Max proposed to Demi in July on a beach in Malibu. In her engagement announcement, the Disney Channel alum praised Max writing, “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.”
