Demi Lovato Reveals How Joe Jonas Asked Her to Perform With the Jonas Brothers: ‘It Was So Healing'
Two days after Lovato, 32, surprised fans by performing with the band on the opening night of their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Disney Channel alum opened up about the experience on the 'Chicks in the Office' podcast on Tuesday, August 12. Lovato told hosts Maria Ciuffo and Francesca Mariano how Joe Jonas, her ex-boyfriend, asked her to appear at the show.
'Honestly, Joe just asked me last week, [he] was like, 'Hey, what are you doing next weekend? Or on the 10th, we would love to have you come and perform 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing.' You've been a huge part of our journey and vice versa,'' she explained.
Lovato continued, 'So he was like, 'This show is really important to us, and we would love to have you there.' And it was so nice. And like I said, it was so healing for me too. We've been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I. And it was really, really great to like, spend time with them. It was really cool.'

Lovato joined Joe and brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas on stage at MetLife to sing 'Gotta Find You,' 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' — three songs from their hit 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock, and its 2010 sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
'Thanks for having me @jonasbrothers 🫶,' Lovato captioned a video of the performance shared via Instagram.
Joe, 35, and Lovato played onscreen love interests Mitchie Torres and Shane Gray in the Camp Rock films. The romance moved off screen in 2010, but it was short-lived.
'Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one,' Joe said of their split in a statement to Us Weekly in May 2010. 'I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to break up, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her.'
Joe, who remained on good terms with Lovato following their breakup, later opened up about supporting her through her struggles with substance abuse.
'I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with,' he told Vulture in 2013. 'I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time, I was living a lie because I wasn't happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her because she needed help. I couldn't express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect.'
Demi Lovato and Jordan Lutes' Relationship Timeline: From Collaborators to Romance
Today, Lovato is married to singer Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes, who was there to witness the reunion on Sunday. Lovato said on the podcast that the Jonas Brothers made sure to 'spend time getting to know' Jutes, 34, which was 'really meaningful' to her.
'And they just, you know, thanked me profusely for flying across the country to perform with them. And it was just so thoughtful,' she said. 'I felt so appreciated, and it was really healing for us. And I loved it, you know, every second of it was so great.'

Nick & Vanessa Lachey's Head-Turning Real Estate Decision Shows How Much They Loved Their Dream Home
As the old saying goes, 'you can go home again.' That's exactly what Nick and Vanessa Lachey are doing with their recent real estate purchase. Let's dial it back to see how the couple went full circle with a 6,855-square-foot home in Tarzana, California. In 2020, the Lacheys moved to the $5.1 million mansion, thinking it would be the perfect place to raise their three children: Camden, 12, Brooklyn, 10, and Phoenix, 8. That was the plan until Vanessa scored a gig on NCIS: Hawai'i in 2021. More from SheKnows Prince William & Kate Middleton's 'Fresh Start' Home Comes With a Refreshing Financial Detail That meant a move to Honolulu, where they purchased an $8.8 million residence and sold their Tarzana estate to tennis pro Naomi Osaka for $6.2 million, per This is where things get a little crazy. NCIS: Hawai'i was canceled by CBS in April 2024, and it was time for the Lachey family to return to California. They bought a six-bedroom home in Encino, a neighborhood next door to Tarzana, for $6.8 million — but it wasn't the dream residence they once had. In a game of real estate shuffle, they put that home back on the market less than a year later because they were able to convince Osaka to sell their old property back to them. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Open champion made a nice profit on the place by selling it back to Nick and Vanessa for $7.95 million. The media outlet noted that this was a private sale since it wasn't listed on the open market, and Osaka had made substantial upgrades to the property. Osaka added necessary details for any athlete — a 'recovery center' with 'a sauna, a cold plunge, a steam room, and a massage table.' She even had her workout mantras posted in neon in the gym: 'Nothing good happens without discipline' and 'If it was easy, everyone would do it.' Surprisingly, the property did not have a tennis court, only a pickleball court — so it might be why Osaka is on the move. For the Lacheys, though, a return to their old home is a dream come of SheKnows 20 Times Madonna Reinvented Fashion at the VMAs The Best Photos of Madonna & Lookalike Daughter Lourdes Through The Years 22 Famous Women Who Have Played Roxie in Chicago on Broadway Solve the daily Crossword

'TSITP' Fans! Your Favorite TV Boyfriend Just Joined Jessica Chastain's New Horror Movie.
I realize that The Summer I Turned Pretty and the supernatural horror genre don't exactly sound like a match made in Heaven, but one of TSITP's breakout stars, Sean Kaufman, is set to act alongside several other big names in Hollywood for the upcoming horror film Other Mommy. Sidenote: I'm already terrified by this movie, and that's just based on the premise alone. Here's everything you need to know about Other Mommy, coming soon. Where can I watch Other Mommy? Other Mommy is sure to hit theaters soon. Stay tuned for an official release date! What is Other Mommy about? This upcoming movie is based on the horror novel Incidents Around the House, by Josh Malerman, who's best known for writing Birdbox. Other Mommy centers around a dysfunctional family with parents who are constantly fighting, and a young daughter, Bela, who is left alone to her own devices most of the time. Since Mom and Dad are so busy bickering and trying to win arguments, Bela is forced to resort to her own imagination in order to have companionship. The only times her parents actually do sit down to talk to Bela are when they're complaining about each other to her. Yeah. Not exactly what I'd call model behavior from the parenting 101 handbook. Especially considering the fact that Bela is only eight years old! While reading the book, I kept wanting to scream to the mom and dad that they should be airing out their issues to a licensed couple's therapist, rather than their young daughter. It was infuriating to read, but ultimately the perfect framing device to set the tone for Bela's growing need for an 'Other Mommy.' Cue, the creepiest element of the narrative: Bela begins hearing voices in the house from a supernatural entity called 'Other Mommy,' who keeps asking, 'Can I go inside your heart?' (I've never been so terrified in my life, and I've seen Hereditary.) This force becomes a looming threat within the family household, yet because Bela is so young, she doesn't come to the conclusion that 'Other Mommy' is anything to fear. In fact, at times, 'Other Mommy' might even be seen as a source of comfort for her, considering her real mother's neglect. I was wondering why this premise sounded so familiar until I realized how much it reminded me of Coraline. Hem, hem, 'Other Mother?' Yet while the Neil Gaiman book-to-movie adaptation has an eerie but ultimately whimsical vibe, don't get it twisted- Other Mommy is just straight-up horror. Even avid horror readers admitted to this novel being among the scariest they've ever read. Who's in the Other Mommy cast? In addition to Sean Kaufman, we'll see some amazing names like Jessica Chastain, as well as Jay Duplass. Interestingly enough, the script was crafted by Succession writer, Nathan Eltson (I highly doubt they'll be cracking Roman Roy-style jokes in this particular script, though). Here's the full Other Mommy cast: Arabella Olivia Clark as Bela Sean Kaufman Adam Silver Jessica Chastain Jay Duplass Dichen Lachman Karen Allen Are y'all as terrified about this film as I am?
