MUMBAI: Singer Demi Lovato says she feels "free" after splitting from Wilmer Valderrama, her boyfriend of nearly six years.

The former couple called time on their relationship last month after nearly six years together, and while it was a tough decision, Lovato admits she is "excited" about what lies ahead in her life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I feel really amazing. I feel really great and I'm growing. My life is just really, really exciting for me because I'm growing. It's new and fresh, and I feel free," Lovato said on radio programme ‘Elvis Duran and The Morning Show’.

"I think I have so many people around me that I trust and that I talk to about things and they are the ones that are quick to tell me, 'Hey, you may be having a bad day but look at what you have overcome'," she added.

"So that's what's really cool is to be able to surround myself with people like that."

The 23-year-old star insists she will not hesitate to change something about her life she isn't enjoying, but hasn't cared about what her haters think she was five years ago.

"I stopped giving an 'f' at like 15! Actually like five.

"You only get one life, so if you don't do what makes you happy in this moment, you're doing yourself an injustice for the rest of your life," she added.
