Maybe it wasn’t the best move for Wilmer Valderrama to star in a movie titled “Unaccompanied Minors.” On “The Howard Stern Show,” Mandy Moore said she was 15 when she first met Valderrama, and she started dating him at age 16. “Never French kissed a boy. He was my first real, true boyfriend,” she shared. When their relationship began, Valderrama would have been 20 years old. He’s also six years older than Lindsay Lohan, who started spending time with the actor when she was 17, per People.
But the age difference between Valderrama and his ex Demi Lovato is more extreme; he was 29 and she was 18 at the beginning of their on-again, off-again relationship. So, when Lovato released a song titled “29” in 2022, the assumption was that it was about Valderrama. “Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine / Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher,” Lovato sings. “Far from innocent, what the f***’s consent? Numbers told you not to, but that didn’t stop you.”

While discussing “29” during an Apple Music interview, Lovato wouldn’t outright confirm that it was inspired by Valderrama, but she said, “I feel like the song says it all.” She also revealed that turning 29 herself made her reflect back on her teenage relationship and allowed her to view it in a different light. Per The Los Angeles Times, the track sparked a discussion about grooming on TikTok.
