“When I was a little girl, my biological father always called me his ‘little companion’, something that might have sounded strange without his southern cowboy accent. It made perfect sense to me. And today that word makes sense again. But today I’m officially going to being someone else’s partner, “Lovato wrote as the title of a series of photos.
The images show Lovato and Ehrich holding each other on a beach. She has a large engagement ring on her finger.
“I am honored to accept your hand in marriage,” he wrote. “I love you more than a caption can express, but I am ecstatic to start a family and a life with you.”
“It was actually kind of emotional but really beautiful,” Lovato said in January. “After everything was done, I was shaking and crying, and I felt overwhelmed.”
At the time, she said she was still not sure what her future family would be like.
“I don’t know what my future will be like,” he continued. “I don’t know if I’m going to have children this year or in 10 years. I don’t know if I will do it with a partner or without her.”
“Many have been left alone with their thoughts, their anxieties, their abusers, and they are struggling with the uncertainty of these times,” Lovato wrote in the caption. “That is why I am helping to launch #TheMentalHealthFund to support organizations that meet the growing demand for crisis counseling due to COVID-19.”
