Demi Lovato is serving major vacation vibes, and we are here for it! The pop sensation recently turned up the heat on her Costa Rican escape with friends, flaunting her fit physique in a retro-chic black bikini with white trims. Demi shared the sun-soaked snapshot on Instagram, posing aboard a boat amidst the breathtakingly blue ocean backdrop.
In another delightful post, Demi was all smiles, strutting along the sandy shores with her pals. This time, she opted for a classic all-black bikini, her brunette tresses casually pulled back into a loose bun. "Cool for the summer, warm for the winter," she cleverly captioned, nodding to her 2015 hit "Cool for the Summer."
"What a babe," her husband, Jordan "Jutes" Lutes, adorably commented, echoing the sentiments of many fans who showered Demi with love and praise. "I love to see you shining like this," one enthusiastically wrote, while another gushed, "Soo pretty."
But the sun-kissed photos are just part of Demi's ongoing journey. The 33-year-old has been candid about her struggles with body image and substance abuse, a battle she's faced head-on and shared with her fans. "I have a treatment team that I work with that helps me stay in recovery, and I've been in recovery from bulimia for five, going on six, years now," Demi revealed on the "Podcrushed" podcast.
She emphasized her shift from body positivity to body acceptance, noting, "I'm trying to learn body acceptance rather than body positivity, because body positivity feels like, 'I can't even reach that yet.'" With the support of her nutritionist and therapist, Demi continues to focus on body image and self-love, steering clear of diet culture and its pressures.
Demi's decision to open up about her journey is rooted in a sense of responsibility. On the "Las Culturistas" podcast, she explained, "It was this responsibility that I was willing to take on because I wish that I could have had that growing up." Reflecting on her past, Demi wanted to be the relatable figure she didn't have at 13, especially when beauty standards were dangerously unrealistic.
Her candidness has inspired many, as she navigates her path to self-acceptance and health with grace and resilience. Demi's story is a powerful reminder that the journey to self-love is ongoing, but with every step, she shines a little brighter.
