The singer’s closest friends and family have all been by her side throughout her stay in the hospital, including her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama.

Another source close to Lovato told People that the star’s loved ones have been encouraging her to return to rehab since she first started to relapse. A second source told People that Lovato understands the danger that she put herself in and wants to recover.

When Lovato released her new single “Sober” in June, the heartfelt lyrics described how she had relapsed. In the song, Lovato apologized to her loved ones, fans, and herself and stated that she wanted to get help. It seems that the artist’s medical emergency was the final push she needed to get that help. Lovato and her family have requested privacy from the public for the time being so that she can fully focus on her recovery.
