Singers Demi Lovato and Jordan Lutes wed after three years together
American singer-actress Demi Lovato has tied the knot with her fiance, Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes.
The wedding took place took place in Santa Barbara, California, at around 4pm on May 25, according to Vogue magazine, which first reported the news.
Lovato, 32, wore a pearl-white Vivienne Westwood dress while Lutes, 34, wore a Saint Laurent suit. Lovato also wore an ivory silk satin column dress, also by Vivienne Westwood, at the reception, said Vogue.
'When I was thinking about (what dress style I wanted) I often found myself coming back to Vivienne's designs – specifically how the silhouettes really compliment the curves in your body, and her use of corsets,' the former Disney Channel child star told the fashion magazine.
Lovato and Lutes met in January 2022 when they worked together on Lovato's eighth studio album Holy Fv** (2022). Lutes is credited as co-writer for the songs Substance, Happy Ending and City Of Angels from it.
They went public with their romance shortly before the album's release in August 2022, after they were photographed leaving a restaurant in New York together. They announced their engagement in December 2023.
Lovato told Teen Vogue digital magazine in September 2024 that she 'instantly had a crush' on Lutes soon after they met.
'I live and breathe for our connection,' Lovato said of her beau. 'Everything I do, I wish was with him. I see my future with him. I see growing old with him.'
Lovato, who is known for songs such as Heart Attack (2013) and Sorry Not Sorry (2017), gave a preview of her wedding on Feb 14.
'Jordan, I cannot wait to marry you,' she wrote, sharing 18 pictures of her photo shoot with Lutes. 'The past three years have been the best three years of my life and I have you to thank for that. 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.'

Gold medallist Thomas harassed by bettor at Grand Slam Track

NEW YORK :Three-times Olympic gold medallist Gabby Thomas said she was verbally abused at the Grand Slam Track meet in Philadelphia last weekend, the latest incident of harassment the American has reported this year. Thomas, who won gold in the 200 metres, and 4x100m and 4x400m relays in Paris, said in a post on X that a man followed her around the track while she took pictures for fans and signed autographs, shouting personal insults at her. "Anybody who enables him online is gross," wrote Thomas. Thomas' post was in response to another on X which contained a video of a person heckling Thomas while she was on the starting line, shouting "you're a choke artist - you're going down, Gabby". "I made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win," the social media user wrote, with a screenshot of two multi-leg bets on the FanDuel sportsbook platform. Grand Slam Track did not immediately respond to a request for comment. One of American track's brightest stars, Thomas catapulted to mainstream fame after her breakout performance in Paris, gracing the cover of American "Vogue" magazine and appearing on U.S. talk shows. But Thomas has also suffered the darker side of fame, describing on TikTok this year how she was stalked by a group of men at several airports, as social media gives female athletes greater exposure. The incident at Grand Slam Track also reflected a growing link between sports betting and harassment, with female tennis players including Caroline Garcia pointing to "unhealthy betting" as a key culprit. Major tennis governing bodies moved to combat online abuse published last year a report that attributed nearly half of abusive social media posts to angry gamblers.

Canadian wins inaugural S'pore board game tournament

Champion of World Series of Board Gaming Asia Wei Wei (in pink) beat three other opponents at The Castle of Burgundy in the final in slightly less than three hours. ST PHOTO: SHINTARO TAY SINGAPORE - After three days of competition, financial analyst Wei Wei was crowned the grand champion of the inaugural World Series of Board Gaming (WSBG) Asia on June 2. The China-born Canadian beat three other opponents at The Castle of Burgundy in the final in slightly less than three hours. In that board game, players aim to develop their estate and earn points by building castles or selling goods. 'It feels surreal,' said Mr Wei, 33. 'I was lagging behind in the first few rounds because I made a few poor decisions, so I thought that I didn't have a chance anymore, but the tides turned. He was among about 100 players who participated in the May 31 to June 2 tournament, which was the first WSBG event to be held in Asia. The parent event is held annually in Las Vegas, and satellite tournaments are mainly held in other cities in the United States. Sixteen board games were featured in the Singapore event, and winners for each game competed in the semi-finals on the morning of June 2. Mr Wei secured his spot in a semi-final by winning The White Castle on June 1, and triumphed over other semi-finalists in Wingspan. 'When it was announced that the game for the grand final would be The Castle of Burgundy, I was pretty elated because it is one of the games that I'm more familiar with,' he said. The final game was picked at random out of the pool of games that finalists had not played before the finale . The China-born Canadian finished with 139 points - 12 points ahead of the runner-up - and was crowned the grand champion to much applause. He also won a $1,000 reimbursement for his flight ticket to the 2025 WSBG in Las Vegas in September , which he has already bought event tickets for.

ST PHOTO: SHINTARO TAY Winners of their respective board games in Singapore will also be given a bye to the second round for that game in Las Vegas if they decided to go for the Sept 19-23 event. Hundreds of board game enthusiasts from different countries crowded Mind Cafe Mega at Prinsep Street during the three-day affair, much to the delight of event organisers Ivan Chen and Lynn Liu. 'The turnout was way beyond our expectations,' said Ms Liu. 'So many people walked in to play casually and just experience the atmosphere, and there were many times we ran out of tables.' The couple, who competed in WSBG in Las Vegas in September 2024, brought the event to Singapore to grow the board gaming community in the region. 'I think we've set out what we meant to do,' said Ms Liu. 'Many strangers came together to play against or teach each other, so there was definitely a sense of community.' Taiwanese Joyce Lin, 32, who won The Castle of Burgundy on June 1, said the tournament was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. Her win came as a surprise. 'I'm not the best at the game, so I was just playing to have fun. When I could smell my victory, I was trying my best to contain my excitement and not smile too wide,' said the finance professional who works in Shanghai. 'The competition was very friendly. Everyone would remind each other if someone forgot to draw or misplaced a game piece,' she said. 'I'll definitely be back next year.'

The stylish women over 40 who are winning on TikTok

As a 30-something working in fashion, dressing up doesn't quite feel the same as it was when I was in my 20s. Back then, it felt unbridled, at times, unhinged and free of expectations (whether self-inflicted or not). At that age when you're granted the luxury of time, fashion felt invincible to conquer as long as you had the right moodboard in mind. I remembered having every micro-trend of 'the-now'—from suede mini skirts, printed bodycon dresses to platform booties—stuffed in my wardrobe. But I remember once I passed the big three, there was an inner voice that shied away from frilly minis, colourful sandals and low-waisted jeans, in fear that those clothes were too young for me. As a result, I kept to a blueprint that felt safe and minimal enough (to pass off as stylish) where colours were muted and silhouettes were basic and uniformed. This ethos maintained during the TikTok boom, as I endlessly swiped past countless of young, trending creators documenting their outfits. All of which further cemented my personal purview of 'dressing within your age range'. However, sometime last year, my algorithm fed me more style content featuring mature women, most of whom were above 40. There before me were beautiful—not to mention undeniably cool—middle-aged women getting undressed then slipping into piece by piece, only to complete an outfit that felt entirely novel and theirs in the cyclical world of fashion. @marissalepps rewearing some of my fav pieces to start the work week on the right foot 🙂‍↕️ #fashiontiktok #outfitinspo #outfitideas #fitcheck #workootd #ootd ♬ Hurting – SG Lewis Marissa Lepps, a Findian who's based in Australia, happens to be one of my favourite creators. As reiterated in her videos, she works a corporate job but loves fashion—hence a cornucopia of looks that take her from the office to date night. Despite the unspoken dress code for work, the outfits she puts together go beyond the safe LBDs or white shirt/pant combinations, thanks to Lepps's natural instinct for layering. Think an oversized draped shirt, a pair of culottes, wine red stockings and a beige trench—just one of her many work fits that Lepps wears with the utmost confidence. She takes everyday separates, switches them out and rewears them in various concoctions, whilst embracing colour, skin and the possibility of any aesthetic, which differs based on where she's going or which city she's heading to. @venswifestyle GRWM: skirt pants from Bottega Veneta runway ss25 #grwm #grwmroutine #grwmoutfit #bottegaveneta #bottegavenetabag #suede #suedejacket #runway #highfashion #highfashiontiktok #fashion #fashiontiktok #fashioninspo #springfashion #skirt #pants #over50 #over50women #trend ♬ Busy Woman – Sabrina Carpenter Lepps isn't the only one thriving on the platform. At 59, Renia Jaz has established a foothold on both TikTok and Instagram. A simple scroll through her feed, and it's clear that the content creator knows how to pick out clothes that mould to her body: sharp oversized blazers, waist-cinching bottoms and flattering fabrics that complement her curves. Then there's designer and influencer Lisa Corbo, on the cusp of 64, who yields 455k followers. Her Toks range from daily outfits, styling 'how-tos' and age-positive messages that denounce any nagging voice whispering 'dress your age'. One day, she exudes elegance and on the other, she's flirty and fun. @lisa_corbo just wait until you see how I dress in Paris #fashionweek #fashionover50 #outfitideas #vintage ♬ original sound – Lisa As I type this story out in a baby tee that reads 'FERAL' in red, I relish the prospect of older, mature women holding space on a platform that was initially dominated by Gen Z and setting the scene of what the future could look like for the younger set. After all, the future me in 10 or 20 years, could be in a better place, financially, could be more assured in my own skin, or simply free of what the rest of the world thinks. It sets the premise that growing older—against the grain of emerging internet trends or the changes in our bodies—shouldn't be a caveat to having fun with fashion but rather an exciting promise that it can actually get better.
