Demi Lovato is now a married woman. The 32-year-old singer and actor tied the knot with long-time partner Jordan "Jutes" Lutes over the weekend in California. The couple, who first met while working on her 2022 album Holy Fvck, kept things low-key but stylish, opting for a private ceremony surrounded by close friends and family.
Their love story began in the studio. Lutes co-wrote a few tracks on Demi’s album, including Substance and City of Angels, and the two started out as friends before things turned romantic months later. The connection deepened quickly. Lovato has often spoken about how supported and grounded she feels in the relationship.

In December 2023, Lutes proposed with a custom diamond ring. While they took their time enjoying the engagement, the wedding planning stayed calm and pressure-free. “We weren’t in a rush,” Lutes had said in an interview last year. “We just wanted to enjoy being together and not stress about the wedding.”
For the big day, Lovato chose a custom Vivienne Westwood gown in pearl-white silk with a corset-style bodice, elegant and true to her style. She later changed into a second Westwood piece for the reception: a sleek column dress adorned with draped pearls. The couple held a rehearsal dinner the day before, where Lovato wore a different bridal look in a more relaxed setting.
Over the past few months, both Demi and Jordan have shared glimpses of their excitement online. On Valentine’s Day this year, Lovato posted, “I can’t wait to grow old with you and start a family.” The couple has always been open about the strength of their bond, with Lovato calling Lutes her “sweet angel” and “favourite person.”
While the guest list has been kept private, the event was photographed by Jose Villa, the same photographer who shot their engagement. For now, the couple plans to enjoy married life before thinking about the next steps, like starting a family.

Lovato, who recently directed a documentary and is working on a new album, says she’s just soaking it all in. “Everything I do, I want to do with him,” she once said. And now, as husband and wife, they’ll get to do exactly that.
Mukerji parts ways with YRF’s Dhoom 4 after reported creative disagreements.
Decision said to be amicable, with Aditya Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor supportive.
Director shifts focus to Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, expected to begin filming in 2026.
Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.
Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
A source quoted in the report said, “Ayan didn’t have much say in the screenplay and didn’t want to embark on another journey of just execution.”
Amicable parting after discussions with Aditya Chopra
Before stepping away, Mukerji is believed to have held several discussions with YRF head Aditya Chopra and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Both reportedly supported his decision, with insiders describing the split as “completely amicable.”
The director’s departure does not mark the end of Dhoom 4, as YRF plans to continue with the project under a new director. The studio may also reconsider casting options, despite earlier reports that Ranbir Kapoor had set aside dates for the film.
Focus returns to the Brahmastra universe
Following his exit from Dhoom 4, Mukerji has shifted attention back to his passion project—the Brahmastra series. The filmmaker is currently developing Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the 2022 fantasy epic.
The film, initially expected to begin production earlier, is now likely to go on floors in 2026. Sources suggest Mukerji intends to expand the Astraverse with more depth in storytelling, combining elements of mythology, drama, and spectacle.
