Demi Lovato's mother, Dianna De La Garza, just opened up about her daughter's relationship with Selena Gomez after her kidney transplant, as well as the family's thoughts on Lovato's ex, Wilmer Valderrama!

During an appearance on Millennial Hollywood with Dakota T. Jones, De La Garza said she feels badly about how the media has portrayed Lovato's relationship with Gomez, 25.

"I think, you know, these kids, they, they go through their struggles and yes, like you said, sometimes people try to pit people against each other which, you know, I wish they wouldn't do," said De La Garza, 55. "At the end of the day when you have a true friendship like that, I think it is always gonna be that way… When you are truly friends, you can even get mad at each other, you can have your differences and disagreements, but at the end of the day, you're always gonna be friends when it's true friendship."

"I don't know what our lives would be like if anything had happened to her. And I don't want to ever find that out. So, I'm just really grateful and I'm thankful that, you know, she's doing so much better."

"He's so likable and just a lovely human being," she admitted. "But, you know, it's funny that after everything was said and done and he had been with her for so long, and I just had a realization one day that I wanted to go and get to know him better because… I thought they were gonna get married."

"We had all hung out, but I hadn't really made that effort," she added. "And once I made that effort, I really came to really truly love him as a person, and as a person that I really wanted to be in our family."
