This weekend, Demi Lovato and Jordan “Jutes” Lutes married at the Clarke Estate in Santa Barbara. (Lovato wore a Vivienne Westwood gown, Lutes a Saint Laurent tux.)
As the news was picked up around the world—and the full wedding featured on Vogue—many readers and social media users wondered who, exactly, Lovato’s new husband was. Despite the singer and former Disney star living much of her life in the public eye, her relationship with the singer-songwriter Lutes has been kept relatively private. (Although Lovato is known to post the occasional loving Instagram: “Jordan, I cannot wait to marry you! The past three years have been the best three years of my life and I have you to thank for that,” she wrote on Valentine’s Day. “I’m obsessed with your heart, your love and your light. I can’t wait to grow old with you and start a family together.”)
Here, find everything you need to know about Jordan Lutes—better known by his nickname (and stage name), Jutes.
Who Is Jordan Lutes?
Jordan Lutes is a singer songwriter from Canada. Born in Ottawa and later a resident of Toronto, Lutes moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. Originally, he was signed to Capitol Records but now is an independent artist. He co-wrote a number of songs on Lovato’s eight studio album, Holy Fvck, and regularly posts his own musical performances on his Instagram. While his full name is Jordan Lutes, often, he goes by Jutes professionally—a portmanteau of his first and last name.
How Did Jordan Lutes and Demi Lovato Meet?
Lovato and Lutes met in January 2022, during a studio writing session for Lovato’s album. On Lovato’s 30th birthday that year, Lutes shared a lengthy and personal Instagram post about the singer: “I’m the luckiest schmuck in the world cuz I get to call you mine. Making you laugh has become my new obsession ’cos your smile literally cures my depression” he wrote. “I’m so proud of you for not only surviving everything you’ve been through but coming out on top and becoming your healthiest happiest sweetest self.”
When Did Jordan Lutes and Demi Lovato Get Engaged?
The couple got engaged in December 2023 after nearly two years of dating. Lutes filled a room in their house with roses, candles, and butterfly decor. Then, he sang her a personal song on the guitar—which he learned to play specifically for the proposal—before getting down on one knee.
When Did Jordan Lutes and Demi Lovato Get Married?
The two wed over Memorial Day weekend in May 2025 at the historic Bellosguardo Estate in Santa Barbara, California. Lovato wore Vivienne Westwood and Lutes wore Saint Laurent. Their first dance was to “Iris,” which was performed by the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls, John Rzeznik. Meanwhile, Paris Hilton DJed the couple’s after-party. “To find a love like this has completed my life in so many ways. We both put the work into ourselves first to be ready and open to share a life together, and I think that is a really important part of our relationship,” Lovato told Vogue of her romance with Lutes. “We don’t complete each other as we did the work to complete ourselves first—and I think that’s a really important thing to do.”
The work she speaks of is presumably a nod to their shared sobriety: In addition to their bond of music, both are also open about their commitment to being sober. “They joke, laugh, talk about their mutual personal problems, and what they overcame as young people in the music business,” an unnamed source told People about their bond. “He is in awe of her talent and very supportive.”
