Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato put their friendship above everything else.

In the new special edition of People magazine, the 16-year-old best friends revealed that they’d sacrifice boys for their friendship. Demi shared, "I’m very protective of our friendship. I think I’d be like, ‘You can have him, because I don’t want to ruin our friendship.’ Then she’d be like, ‘No, you can have him,’ and then we’d end up not liking him.”

Selena agreed, saying, "I’ve cut out the people who I don’t need in my life. I realized I should surround myself with people who make me smile.”
