{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Demi Lovato is thankful for a lot these days. But mostly, she's thankful for boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, who she credits for saving her life.
On Sunday, the 22-year-old singer celebrated three years sober after her public battle with alcohol and drug addiction, and she took to social media to give her boyfriend a shout out for his support.
“I wish I could put into words how grateful I am for this man right here,” Lovato captioned a picture of the two kissing. “But my love has grown to a level that words could never possibly express how much this man completes me... He’s loved me the way I never thought I deserved to be loved and with this day marking my 3rd year sober… After sharing my ups, putting up with my downs and supporting my recovery… he still never takes credit.”

Where you decided that YOUR life was worth living while loving yourself. And I'm sure glad you did,” he wrote. “I knew then the woman you've become now. I am proud and honor[ed] to be front row to see the world you are about to change. I love you Demi.”
