Representatives for Lovato refuted the actor’s claims the same day to E! News and went as far as to say Ehrich is “lying” and was told of the relationship’s end in advance.
Despite public scrutiny, Ehrich, who is a four-time Emmy-nominated actor, maintains that he only found out about the breakup from the press.
