There are many ways you can make your marriage proposal special. But for Demi Lovato, husband Jordan “Jutes” Lutes popped the question in the most perfectly perfect way possible. In an interview this week with SiriusXm’s “Morning Mash Up” show, Lovato revealed that when Lutes proposed to her in December 2023 he learned to play guitar in order to perform a song her wrote for the special occasion.
“He did learn to play the song on guitar that he wrote, and it was so beautiful. He made a song that was about our journey together,” Lovato told host Stanley T of the original tune. “It had all these little Easter eggs in it, and it was so special and beautiful, and he proposed to me with that, and it was just so thoughtful and he’s the best.”
Lovato said she never saw the special treat coming and was caught completely off guard. “Because we had talked about getting engaged and he was like, ‘Okay, you know, I don’t want to do it this year because I feel like it’ll get overshadowed by the holidays,’ so let’s just revisit next year and I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever. Take your time,’” she said of the song whose title she did not share. “And then he proposed to me, and I was so shocked. I was so shocked and I normally, I’m not like, normally I can sense when something’s coming, but I was so shocked about this.”
Lovato and Lutes got married in California on May 25. Ottawa native and independent musician Lutes co-wrote a number of tracks on Lovato’s 2022 Holy Fvck album, including “Substance,” “Happy Ending” and “City of Angels.”
Demi’s ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep, is due out on Oct. 24, with the singles “Fast” and “Here All Night” released as singles so far. Lovato told the Mash Up team that she and Lutes work “really well together,” and though they didn’t write a lot on her upcoming LP, he did write a song that made the final tracklist. “He wrote it and I was like, ‘Wait, I love that!’ and he was like, ‘You can have it,’” she said of the song “In My Head.”
Earlier this week news broke that Lovato and the Jonas Brothers are working on a third installment of the franchise that made them both stars. Nick, Joe and Kevin are slated to reprise their roles as the Gray brothers and executive produce alongside Lovato on Camp Rock 3.
