Demi Lovato has come out as nonbinary and changed pronouns to they/them

• Demi Lovato made the announcement in a Wednesday Instagram post.
• Lovato said they "will be officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward."
• Lovato had previously come out in a March interview as pansexual.

Demi Lovato on Wednesday came out as nonbinary.

The actor and singer shared the news in an Instagram post: "Today is a day I'm so happy to share more of my life with you all - I am proud to let you know that I identify as non-binary & will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward."

They added: "This has come after a lot of healing & self-reflective work. I'm still learning & coming into myself, & I don't claim to be an expert or a spokesperson. Sharing this with you now opens another level of vulnerability for me.

"I'm doing this for those out there that haven't been able to share who they truly are with their loved ones. Please keep living in your truths & know I am sending so much love your way xox."

Lovato's message came as part of their new podcast series, "4D With Demi Lovato," which arrives Wednesday with new episodes every week.

Lovato, who initially came out as bisexual to their parents in 2017, had come out as pansexual during an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast in March.

"I'm so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was, like, super closeted off," Lovato said. When Rogan asked whether they liked women or men, Lovato replied: "Yeah, anything, really."

"I heard someone call the LGBTQIA+ community the alphabet mafia," they said. "That's it! That's what I'm going with."

Earlier that month, Lovato had said that they were "too queer" to be involved with cisgender men going forward and that their failed engagement to Max Ehrich had served as a "sign" about their sexuality.

"This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn't work, I was like, 'This is a huge sign.' I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn't going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth," Lovato said after calling off their engagement with Ehrich after two months.

"I hooked up with a girl and was like, 'I like this a lot more.' It felt better. It felt right," Lovato said. "Some of the guys I was hanging out with - when it would come time to be sexual or intimate, I would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like, 'I just don't want to put my mouth there.'"

Lovato is famously open with their fans and in March opened up about a night in 2018 when they said they were sexually assaulted and almost fatally overdosed. This came a month after they celebrated their sixth anniversary of sobriety.

Lovato is not the first major singer to announce they are nonbinary. Sam Smith came out as nonbinary in 2019 after what they called "a lifetime of being at war with my gender."

The "Juno" actor Elliot Page came out as transgender in December and uses the pronouns he/him or they/them.
