In celebration of Demi Lovato’s birthday last week, we listed all the reasons why we adore the singer.

Now, according to a new report, Luke Rockhold could come up with his own similar rundown.

Why? Because the professional fighter is allegedly getting it on with the beloved singer!

Rockhold is somewhat of a legend in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

He’s a former UFC Middleweight Champion, who won that belt in December by taking down then-undefeated champion Chris Weidman via a technical knockout.

An avid skateboarder and surfer, Rockhold is ranked the as the number-one middleweight and number-three official pound-for-pound fighter by the UFC and other publications, such as Fight Matrix and Sherdog.

The guy can seriously mixed it up in the ring.

What about in the bedroom?

TMZ claims Lovato would know because the two have actually been dating under the radar for several weeks now.

The 24-year-old singer supposedly met the 31-year-old fighter earlier this year while training at Unbreakable gym in Los Angeles.

Demi had previously been linked with another MMA brawler, Guilherme Vasconcelos, who sources claimed in mid-July she also met at this same gym.

This means Lovato has either been very busy or the initial report was mistaken.

We’re guessing it should have listed Rockhold as her new man at the time.

Just how serious is this new relationship?

Remember when Lovato showed off what appeared to be a new tattoo on her pinky finger this month? A simple, cute little smiley face?

She flashed a photo of it on Instagram, but we’ve now discovered that she did so in response to Rockhold.

See what we mean here:

Pretty adorable, huh?

Not exactly what you’d expect from someone who makes a living beating the crap out of other people?

We guess Lovato can bring out the softie in nearly anyone.

Remember, Wilmer Valderrama was known as quite the ladies man in Hollywood before he met Lovato and settled down with her for six years.

The couple shocked and depressed us when they ended their relationship a couple months ago, but we’re just happy as long as Lovato is happy.

And she sure does look happy these days, doesn’t she?

Lovato is currently touring the globe with Nick Jonas.

Asked by The Calgary Herald about making the transition from Disney darling to worldwide celebrity, Lovato said:

“For me, the transition was a little bit easier because I didn’t have to do anything to break out of the Disney mold. It’s a lot easier when you just go to rehab.

"So, I kind of grew up really fast in the public eye in that way and so when it was time to release my music, I think people looked at me differently.

"I wanted to prove to people that I wasn’t just a stereotypical Hollywood starlet that goes to rehab and falls back into the trap of the things that got her there.

"I wanted to make sure that the music that I made was great and that I was passionate about the music that I put out and I sang my heart out.”
