Demi Lovato has announced they are non-binary and has changed their pronouns to they/them.
Non-binary people don't identify as male or female and use the pronouns they or them instead of he or she.
In a video shared to fans on Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday, the American singer said they wanted to "share something very personal with you.
"Over the past year and a half I've been doing some healing and self-reflective work and through this work I've had the revelation that I identify as non-binary.
"With that said I'll officially be changing my pronouns to they/them. I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am, and am still discovering."
Every day we wake up, we are given another opportunity & chance to be who we want & wish to be. I've spent the majority of my life growing in front of all of you… you’ve seen the good, the bad, & everything in between. pic.twitter.com/HSBcfmNruo

They continued: "I want to make it clear that I'm still learning and coming into myself and I don't claim to be an expert or a spokesperson."
After posting the video, Lovato wrote on Twitter: "I'm doing this for those out there that haven’t been able to share who they truly are with their loved ones. Please keep living in your truths & know I am sending so much love your way xox."
They added that "sharing this with you now opens another level of vulnerability for me."
