Cute couple: Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama were the picture of happiness as they stepped out hand-in-hand in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday for romantic stroll after denying they are engaged
Dressed in a casual ensemble of form-fitting blue jeans, a plunging V-neck grey T-shirt which exposed a glimpse of her bra, and thong-style sandals, Demi looked cool and casual for the pair's day out.
The pop princess cut a low-key figure, opting to wear minimal make-up, a natural hairstyle and a pair of blue mirrored aviator sunglasses.
She held onto Wilmer's hand and carried shopping bags and her adorable pet dog Buddy's lead with the other as they strolled through the downtown area of Vancouver.

Demi and Wilmer's outing comes shortly after she was forced to quash all talk of a romantic proposal.
It all started when she admitted she'd say yes if Wilmer did propose in an interview with New Zealand's ZM radio on Wednesday.
'If he asked [to marry me] tomorrow I would say yes,' Demi told the interviewer.
Adding: 'I am very, very in love with him. We will probably wait a little bit longer.'
Teasing: Demi teased fans on social media on Saturday after hinting that Wilmer might have proposed to her in secret, something which she later denied
'Too much fun': A second selfie on Instagram showed the happy couple goofing around
Adding fuel to the fire, Demi whipped fans into a frenzy early on Saturday when she posted a coquettish image of herself with the intriguing caption: 'Exciting things coming veeeerrrrryyyy sooooon.'
She followed it up with a selfie featuring both her and Wilmer blowing kisses at the camera and the caption read: 'We have way too much fun together...'
When she got around to posting the final photo in the series of three, Demi perhaps realised that she had egged on her fans a little more than initially intended.
The picture showed her hand clasped in Wilmer's and included the caption: 'He's there for me when others aren't... He supports me when others won't... He loves me when others don't. (Not engaged... y'all are crazy.'
Not the right rings: Despite hints in a radio interview and all of the flirty Instagram posts, Demi insisted that she and Wilmer are not engaged
The X Factor judge and the That '70s Show actor have been dating for more than five years, splitting briefly in 2012.
When they first got together Demi was only 18 years old and Wilmer 30 which prompted outsiders - and even her parents - to challenge their relationship.
The former Disney star’s family questioned why he wanted to pursue the teenage actress.
Made for each other: Demi told a New Zealand radio station that she would marry Wilmer if he asked her; here they are side-by-side at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in January 2015
Big difference: When they first began dating, the former Disney star's family questioned their 13-year age gap
She said: ‘I used to, definitely, whenever we were first starting to date about like five years ago, because I was 18 and he was 30, so people were definitely judgmental.
'Even, like, my parents were kind of like, "I don't know why someone his age is wanting to date someone so young".'
But as time went on the couple’s love prevailed.
‘After a while, everyone started to see that what we have is real and incredible and very special and we have been together ever since,’ she added.
