Demi Lovato, the eagerly awaited headliner for the second and final weekend of Rock in Rio, had a connection with Brazil that goes beyond the shows and her Lovatics fan club. Between late 2016 and early 2017, the American singer dated UFC fighter Guilherme Bomba, who was born in Minas Gerais.
The relationship lasted a few months, but Demi didn't hold back on public praise for her partner. She spoke about the romance in an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," broadcast on American channel NBC, publicly demonstrating the happiness she felt beside the Brazilian athlete.
Guilherme Bomba was found dead in his home in Chicago in October 2024. The case generated widespread attention, since the fighter was only 32 years old and at the peak of his career in the UFC.
Almost a year after his death, the police report indicated that the cause of death was suicide. The confirmation brought even more sadness to the fans and acquaintances of the athlete, who also followed with emotion the loss of one of the world's pop music stars.
