Demi Lovato: 'I'm Single At the Moment, And I Plan To Be For A Long Time'

The media is not letting go of the rumor of the secret online romance between Demi Lovato and Niall Horan of One Direction.  At the most recent X Factor auditions in Providence, R.I., Lovato responded to the unending speculation.

"He's really sweet, and he's one of my really good friends now." Lovato clearly said.  "I am single at the moment, and I plan to be for a long time because I need to focus on my career and myself and my well-being before I think about getting in a relationship."

Once again, the X Factor judge shot down the rumor that keeps finding its way back out.

The rumors began in the first place when the Lovato called Horan "Adorable" and Horan was reported to reciprocate positive feelings towards Lovato.  

How long do you think Lovato will remain single?
