Demi Lovato sought inspiration from Justin Bieber during her rough patch

Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato have been serving friendship goals since a while now but the depth of their friendship had remained away from the spotlight, until now.

While hosting together an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the two opened up about the extensive course through which their friendship has ran as the two initially met when Justin was 14 and Demi, 16.

Recalling their first meeting, the Skyscraper singer said: “It was so sweet. You were like, ‘My name’s Justin. I’m Justin Bieber. You’re going to know my name one day.’ I was like, ‘Wow! OK, cool. For sure.’ And then I definitely did.”

Moreover, she added that as the two entered the pop scene at a considerably young age, they had ‘similar stories’ that brought them together.

Demi also revealed that during her phase of struggle in the past year, she sought inspiration from the Sorry crooner and how he pulled himself out of similar rocky paths.

“When I struggled last year, I know I looked at you as an inspiration because you’ve been through this and you’ve come out the other side, and I really just admire the man that you are today,” she added.
