Demi Lovato Shares Whether She Wants Her Future Kids to Have Careers in Hollywood

Demi Lovato wants her future kids to give themselves a break… from thinking about their future, that is.
The Camp Rock alum shared whether or not she would be comfortable with her future kids starting their professional entertainment careers as young as she did.
“I wouldn’t try to persuade anyone to join the industry,” Demi exclusively told E! News at a Sept. 12 screening for her Hulu documentary Child Star. “If I was talking to my future children, I would say ‘practice, practice, practice.’ Then, when you’re old enough, you can follow and pursue your dreams. But it’s important to remember to have a childhood when you can.”
And the “Give Your Heart A Break” singer—whose new documentary Child Star features Demi interviewing fellow kid actors, including Drew Barrymore, Raven-Symoné and JoJo Siwa, about their experiences in Hollywood—is adamant about the importance of preserving a child’s innocence while they’re young.
“That’s one of my biggest takeaways from making this film,” Demi continued. “I want to protect my kids from social media and being in the public eye. But if music is their calling, they can do that when they turn 18.”
The 32-year-old—who announced her engagement to singer-songwriter Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in December 2023—also recommended for child actors to focus on the importance of family.
“Value meaningful connections in your life over success,” Demi advised. “At times, I didn’t do that and I regretted it. But now that I am reflecting a lot, I’m able to say that family means so much to me.”
And that family is growing, as Demi’s half-sister Madison De La Garza announced Sept. 5 that she’s expecting her first child with Ryan Mitchell.
“I’m really excited to have new life come into our family,” Demi said of her sibling’s pregnancy news. “I’m excited to be an aunt.”
The “Heart Attack” singer has also been candid about her own desire to have kids someday.
“My bucket list doesn’t include things like jumping out of a plane ’cause I’ve already done that,” she told Entertainment Tonight in August 2022. “Things like having a family is really important to me. It’s the substance of life.”
For more from Demi, tune into E! News tonight, Sept. 16, at 11 p.m and watch Child Star, streaming on Hulu Sept. 17.
For now, keep reading to see Demi’s life through the years.
