Demi Lovato might have found love again. The singer was pictured kissing sober companion Henry Levy outside the Nobu sushi restaurant in Malibu on Saturday. She was first photographed with the 27-year-old clothing designer last month in Los Angeles. It was her first public appearance since her rehab stint. Lovato had a drug overdose in July at her Los Angeles home.

Levy, who has bleached blonde hair, created the fashion line Enfants Riches Deprimes, or French for Rich Kids, in 2012. He operates under the professional name Henri Alexander. His line has been worn by celebs like Kanye West, Sophia Richie, Travis Scott, Future and, of course, Lovato.

Levy opened up about his struggle with addiction during an interview withComplexmagazine in 2016. "I was, like, a f*** up in high school," he told Complex. "I was caught up in drugs and shit like that."

While his past doesn't define him, it did inspire him. "Being around those kids [in rehab], just their absurd entitlement and everything, definitely had an influence," Levy said. "They don't have to work a day in their lives, you know what I mean? Their complete existence is based around what other people think."

Buying his clothes won't be cheap—easy. T-shirts run for $320 and distribution is small. "The best way for me to explain the brand is 'elitist, nihilist couture,'" the fashion designer told the magazine. "The price point eliminates the masses, and the ideas eliminate the people who I don't want, generally, in it, due to the dark nature."

Lovato, 26, and Levy were first pictured together in early November. They were holding hands and smiling at a restaurant. According to TMZ, they started out as sober companions but their relationship might have blossomed into something more.

Lovato's Saturday date with Levy came one day after she was nominated for her second Grammy in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. The nod came after she teamed up with Christina Aguilera, 37, for the duet "Fall in Line." It's on Aguilera's eighth studio record, Liberation.

Lovato took to social media to share her excitement. "Woke up filled with hope. Dreams come true y'all... thank you @xtina. I love you so much," she tweeted. She also thanked Aguilera for the "opportunity" to perform with someone she considered her "forever idol."
