A source told E! News that Johnson and Lovato went on a date recently. The source said the couple is taking things slow in their relationship.

Johnson also posted a comment on Lovato’s other unretouched Instagram post, shared last week.
“Look at me like that again … Love yaself,” Johnson wrote. Lovato replied with a kissy face emoji and another one with its tongue sticking out.
Lovato’s posts earned acclaim from other celebrities as well.

“Way to crush a post,” Megan Mullally added.

On Sept. 5, Lovato shared her first unedited bikini photo to mark National Cellulite Day. She told fans she was “literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited – and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me.”
“This is what I got,” Lovato continued. “I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day.”
Johnson appeared on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise Season 6. He was in the running to be the new Bachelor, but it is increasingly looking like Peter Weber will lead the new season next year.
