Demi Lovato Fans Have Lost All Chill Just Because She Had Lunch With Her Ex

Demi Lovato’s fans are currently having a full-fledged meltdown because she was spotted eating lunch yesterday with her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, whom she started dating in 2010 and broke up with in 2016. All they did together was break bread, according to TMZ, and yet people are treating this like Romeo and Juliet miraculously woke up and bought a time share together in the Bahamas. Seriously, the fever with which the Lovatics are talking about this meal is both hilarious and somewhat concerning. It’s almost like we live in a world where exes can either be rekindling a flame or hating each other—there’s no room for in between. Check out just a few of the responses Lovato’s fans made, below.

Guys, I appreciate your enthusiasm for Queen Demi but all they did was have Sunday lunch. That’s the most innocuous time frame to have a meal. You schedule Sunday lunch for the annoying person from college who just moved to your city and won’t stop hitting you up. Or for your relative visiting town who makes you feel bad about your dating life. Sunday lunch is literally the meal equivalent of a Teletubby. It means nothing!

To be fair, it’s possible Lovato and Valderrama’s lunch was romantic. It’s not like I was wearing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak and standing right behind their table, recording every word. But let’s not rule out the option that exes can be friends. Gwyneth Paltrow raves more about Chris Martin than she does her current fiancé, Brad Falchuk (kidding). Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are still close. Hell, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still friends. (She threw some loving shade at his gaudy multicolored tattoo a few months back. Remember that?) Lovato’s 2017 documentary Simply Complicated proves Valderrama has a special place in her heart. There’s no bad blood at all, so it’s entirely plausible this was just a catch-up session.

In fact, here’s a nonexhaustive list of things Lovato and Valderrama could’ve talked about at their lunch besides getting back together:

1. The historical significance of Lovato’s song “Really Don’t Care.”

2. Krystal calling Arie a “needle dick” during her post-bowling freak-out on The Bachelor.

3. Whether or not Lovato remembers all her lines in Princess Protection Program.

4. The animated TV show Valderrama did after That ’70s Show called Handy Manny.

5. Kim Kardashian’s pink hair.

6. Lovato’s onetime blue hair.

7. The theory that Nick Jonas has three front teeth.

8. Nick Jonas just as a general concept.

9. How good the food is they ate at this lunch.

10. Starting a grassroots campaign to create a crossover reboot of Sonny With a Chance and That’s ’70s Show.

From this list, our money’s on number nine—because that’s what normal people talk about at lunch. “How’s your salad?” is a more logical question to ask at 2:00 P.M. on a Sunday than, “Want to unload our entire emotional history from the past eight years over this guacamole?”
