Following their breakup, Joe Jonas told US Weekly that it was his decision to part ways with Demi Lovato. He added that he wanted to prioritize his friendship with her rather than a romantic relationship. He told the outlet:

"I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to breakup, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her."
