Demi Lovato will play love interest to Naya Rivera's character, Santana, in the upcoming fifth season of Glee.
WallStreetJournal reported that Lovato will have a guest star role as Dani, a struggling New York artist. Dani will be friends with Rachel and also be the apple of Santana's eye in several episodes. The mean girl of Glee and her new girl will even sing a Beatles song together.
Rivera said of Lovato to MTV, "I mean, she's playing my love interest, so I'm very, very excited about that. We get to sing a song together. It's gonna be good. I'm excited to work with her. We're bringing her to the dark side. I'm excited."
Although Lovato and Rivera will play each others' love interests, they have both been reported having real-life relationships with other stars. USMagazine reported that Lovato has been seen with Wilmer Valderrama at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Sunday, Aug. 25. Meanwhile, Rivera has been going steady with rapper Big Sean.
The new season of Glee premieres September 19 at 9 p.m./10 p.m. EST/PST.
