Demi Lovato and actor Max Ehrich have reportedly ended their relationship, just two months after announcing their engagement.

A source told People magazine that the couple decided marriage wasn't meant to be.

"It was a tough decision, but Demi and Max have decided to go their separate ways to focus on their respective careers," the source said. "They have respect and love for one another and will always cherish the time they spent together."

After just a few months of dating, Ehrich, 29, proposed to Lovato, 28, on July 22, on a beach in Malibu. The "Confident" singer gushed over the proposal in an Instagram post, writing, "I'm honored to accept your hand in marriage. I love you more than a caption could express but I'm ecstatic to start a family and life with you."

And just earlier this month, the two celebrated their six-month anniversary with romantic posts expressing their love for one another.
