There have been a lot of celebrity age-gap relationships that have struck a nerve, and one of the notable ones was between Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama.
The pop singer and actor began their controversial relationship when she was 18, and he was 30, spending six years together. Since then, Demi has written a viral song about how she regrets entering that relationship, and recently, fans of hers resurfaced an interview from those years between her and Ryan Seacrest, where the radio show host tells her she was “too young” to be dating him.

An Interview Of Ryan Seacrest Telling Demi Lovato She Was 'Too Young' To Be Dating Wilmer Valderrama Resurfaces
In Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole, there have been a large number of relationships and romances between younger and older stars that have shocked the world.
Although it might not have seemed very shocking to some people at the time, a viral age-gap relationship that internet users have been bringing back up was the one between the award-winning musician and That 70s Show star. The pair began dating around 2010, when the singer was 18 years old, and he was 12 years older at 30.
After six years together, dealing with the occasional waves of backlash due to their ages, they broke up, and now Demi is married to musician and songwriter Jordan Lutes. Since their breakup, the Disney alum has been opening up more and more about how she felt their age gap was "not okay," and had a viral song, "29," that commented on their differences.
Now, fans of the singer are resurfacing a 2015 interview she did with media personality Ryan Seacrest for his radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, where he said things like, "I met your friend Wilmer before you were born." At one point, after Demi admitted she was "not shy" about dating older men, Ryan responded that she was "too young."
Fans Comment On The Resurfaced Interview
The conversation between Ryan and Demi has resurfaced, especially after she brought up her age gap relationship on Keke Palmer's podcast, stating that it was "not okay."
On platforms like YouTube, users began commenting on the nature of the conversation between the two celebrities, and how, while the Wheel of Fortune host might've seemed like he was kidding, he also sounded like he was warning her against dating an older man at such a young age.
"This aged well for Ryan," commented a YouTube user.
"I hate how normalized this age gap was then," wrote another. "Awful."
"It's obvious they knew it was inappropriate," observed a user, as a fan commented, "I'm glad she realizes how damaging he was to her and that she is speaking up about it."
The 46-year-old actor has yet to comment on his and Demi's relationship after this interview resurfaced recently, and it seems that many are expecting him to stay silent after all the backlash he's receiving once again.
