Despite reports Lovato relapsed last month, a source close to the singer, 26, tells PEOPLE exclusively the rumors are not true. However, the star did choose to check into a treatment facility recently to continue working on her health.

Now back home in L.A., Lovato is “taking care of herself and is in a positive place,” adds the source. “She’s working outand getting back in the studio to make music.”
She was also gifted a Funfetti dessert from Susiecakes, which came with a note reading, “Happy 6 Mo. We are so f—ing proud of you.”
“Best day ever,” Lovato labeled an Instagram Story shot of the sugary treat.
