Even when Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato didn’t see something there, their fans did.

But the duo had to admit, something was always there to Ryan Seacrest after their performance on American Idol.

Joe shared, “We’ve been best friends for the longest time and now we’re just kind of taking the next step and it’s been really fun. We’re having a great time…I guess we kind of figured that one day it would happen but we didn’t feel like it was the right time.”

Demi added on , “Being best friends for a while, over time feelings grow, and for me, as much as I wanted to deny it, the feelings were always there.”
