Demi Lovato & New BF Austin Wilson Enjoy A ROMANTIC Friendsgiving With Loved Ones - Things Are Heating Up!

With a new lover by her side and more music on the way, Demi Lovato has a lot to be thankful for this year!

The 27-year-old singer recently hosted a special Friendsgiving celebration at her pad over the weekend and broke bread with her model boyfriend, Austin Wilson, and a few of their closest friends.

Oh, so that’s why we didn’t see the Sorry Not Sorry singer at the American Music Awards on Sunday night!

It turns out Miz Lovato ditched the red carpet and bright lights of the AMAs to enjoy a pre-holiday spread from the comfort of home.

During the gathering, Demi took to her Instagram Story to thank celebrity chef Art Smith (who used to cook for Oprah!) for the cheffing up the “best Thanksgiving food in the world” in a since-expired post.

She also shared another seriously cute snap of her and Austin cozying up to each other at one point, too!

Awww! They seem so happy together!

It’s also great to hear the starlet enjoyed a carefree night of friends, food, and fun — especially since she’s been so vocal about struggling with body image issues in the past.

This month, Demi opened up to Teen Vogue about her personal journey to self-acceptance and admitted:

“I think it’s been a very introspective year for me. I’ve learned a lot, been through a lot. We hear the term body positivity all the time. To be honest, I don’t always feel positive about my body. Sometimes I do not like what I see. I don’t sit there and dwell on it. I also don’t lie to myself. I used to look in the mirror if I was having a bad body image day and say ‘I love my body, you’re beautifully and wonderfully made.’ But I didn’t believe it. I don’t have to lie to myself and tell myself I have an amazing body. All I have to say is ‘I’m healthy.’ In that statement, I express gratitude. I am grateful for my strength and things I can do with my body. I am saying I’m healthy and I accept the way my body is today without changing anything.”

The singer-songwriter added listening to her body’s cues and practicing better habits plays a key role in her now healthier lifestyle:

“For so many years I dealt with an eating disorder. What I wasn’t ever open with myself about was, whenever I was in the gym I was doing it to an unhealthy extreme. I think that’s what led me down a darker path — I was still engaging in these behaviors. Embracing my body as it is naturally is why I took the month of October off the gym.”

It must be an added bonus that Lovato and her new man reportedly share the same renewed commitment to their personal well-being and sobriety!

An E! News source recently attested to this aspect of the couple’s relationship, noting:

“Demi loves that they share the same values and are on the same page about their health and wellbeing. Demi thinks he is a good influence and a positive light to be around.”

Wonderful! We’re certainly rooting for these two and their continued happiness.

As our readers know, Demi and the Los Angeles-based model first went public (and IG official!) with their romance about two weeks ago with coordinating, affectionate mirror pics they posted online at the same time.

Although things are still in the early honeymoon stage and sources say they’re still being “low-key,” it’s clear they don’t mind showing each other off every now and again!
