Demi Lovato has said that she is not friends with Selena Gomez, despite the fact that they have known each other for a long time.

The singer, 27, who appeared on the Disney Channel around the same time as Gomez, told Harper’s Bazaar that she had lost contact with most people “from that era”.

When asked about an Instagram post Gomez did about her after she performed at the Grammy Awards, Lovato told the magazine: “When you grow up with somebody, you’re always going to have love for them.

She added that she will “always have love for her, and I wish everybody nothing but the best”.

Lovato said that she is still good friends with fellow former teen star Miley Cyrus.

She said: “I talk to Miley. She’s awesome and I love her to death and always will, always have.

“But I think she’s kind of the only one from that era that I still stay in touch with.”

Lovato recently appeared on Cyrus’ Instagram Live programme Bright Minded.
