This isn't the first time Demi has credited her boyfriend of five years for positively impacting her life.

In late 2010, the Heart Attack hitmaker spent three-months in rehab to treat eating disorders and self-harming issues. 

During an interview with Fitness Magazine in December, Demi told the publication that Wilmer at one point played a critical role in keeping her healthy.

Speaking about her recovery, the star said: 'It's been difficult.

'I almost went back to rehab for my eating disorder last summer.

'I was obsessing over food and terrified of it at the same time. Wilmer noticed and called me out on it, which was a relief.'
