In February last year, she opened up about her sobriety, which was achieved by tapping into the ‘ancestors’ trend on TikTok.
On the subject of getting sober, Maddie told E! News last year in March that she had been taking “advice” from her older sister Demi over the years.
The former Disney Channel star has been open about her mental health and past struggles with substance abuse.
“She obviously gives me a lot of great advice about her sister, but I think it’s stronger to see her in action,” De La Garza said of Lovato.
“I started sharing my personal story and I never, never, never would have if it wasn’t for her. Her honesty, her courage, and being an open book, I think that’s what drives me.
During a separate interview with E! News last month, Demi shared her excitement about becoming an aunt.
“I’m really excited that new life has come into our family. Family is very important to me. I value family and friends over success every day,” the singer said.

She played the character of Juanita Solis on the hit series Desperate Housewives from 2008 to 2012 (see above with Eva Longoria)
“When people ask me what advice I would give to child performers today, I would say value meaningful relationships in your life over success, because sometimes I didn’t and I regretted it.”
Lovato added, “But now that I think about it a lot, I can say that family means so much to me and I’m excited to be an aunt.”
Like Demi, Maddie has also found success in the entertainment industry as a director and actress.
She portrayed the character of Juanita Solis in the hit series, Desperate Housewives, from 2008 to 2012. She also had an uncredited role in her sister’s Disney film, Princess Protection Program (2009).
