Demi Lovato marries singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in California
She's more than just cool for the summer — Demi Lovato is officially married.
The musician-actor, 32, tied the knot with Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes, 34, on Sunday in California, as first exclusively reported by Vogue.
The couple met while working on Lovato's last album, 2022's 'Holy Fvck," and dated for nearly two years before Lutes proposed in December 2023. Lutes co-wrote a few of the songs that made 'Holy Fvck,' including 'Happy Ending,' 'City of Angels," and the pop-punk single, 'Substance.'
Lovato, a former child star, began her entertainment career on 'Barney & Friends' before becoming a staple of Disney Channel in the 2000s for her role in the 'Camp Rock' films and as the star of 'Sonny with a Chance.' Beyond her acting, Lovato has long been celebrated for her gifted soprano and has released eight albums across her career.
Lutes, an independent artist whose hybridist music marries elements of emo, pop-punk and trap, was previously signed to Capitol Records.
Prior to her relationship with Lutes, Lovato was engaged to the actor Max Ehrich in 2020. They called off their engagement after two months.

Couple marry in hospital after bridge paralysed during hen party
A couple held their wedding at a hospital after an attempted "party trick" at the hen do led to the bride being Bolton and Carla Horton were due to get married on 30 May at St Chad's church in Coseley, close to their home in at her hen weekend five weeks before, 44-year-old Carla "tried to do a stunt" resulting in her fracturing the top of her neck and being paralysed from the chest down. After Carla spent five weeks at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, the couple decided instead of postponing their wedding, they would get married in an intimate ceremony at the hospital's chapel. Carla and her friends were getting ready to go out for the evening in Skegness when she decided to attempt the trick - which she did not detail - but was knocked unconscious for a moment. When she regained consciousness, she realised she could not move. "I made a silly misjudgement on my hen do and tried to do a stunt which I think I was just too old to do, and it resulted in me fracturing the top of my neck and being paralysed from the chest down," she said. Her friends called an ambulance and she was subsequently taken to Skegness and district general hospital before being moved to Pilgrim Hospital Boston for scans to assess the damage. She was then transferred to the Queen's Medical Centre for spinal surgery. 'World caved in' "My first thought when this happened was to say to Craig 'if you want to walk away you can' and I would understand. "I think when something like this happens to someone you don't want to put them through the possibility that you might never walk again." But Craig, who says his "world caved in" when he found out from his sister-in-law what had happened, made a three-hour round trip from Dudley to Nottingham to be with his fiancee every day. "When I come in every day and see the fight in her, I do fall in love more each day," he said. "You do find your soulmate at some point and when you do, you know. And I've found mine." After five weeks of Carla being in hospital, she decided she could not wait any longer to marry Craig. "I don't want to wait 18 months or two years until I am possibly walking again, or possibly not. I cannot wait that long."The pair stuck to their original date, with the support of Nottingham University Hospitals Charity which helped with the arrangements for the big day, including a food, decorations and even a hairdresser for the bride. They believed the speed of Carla's care was a key factor in the lucky position she was in to get the "best chance of recovery".Craig said: "It was all within a 20-hour window which, to be quite honest is probably the main reason why Carla is in the condition she is in now and able to fight." Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust's spinal cord injury lead Michelle Elmsley said: "It's been an honour to be part of Carla's journey. "It is a rare opportunity to be part of something special for acute patients under our care, and being able to go 'beyond the norm' has made me extremely proud to be part of team NUH."

EXCLUSIVE MAUREEN CALLAHAN: An insider has revealed the Royal verdict on THAT Meghan twerking video. It's so devastatingly cutting, she may never recover
It's the twerk seen round the world — and regrettably, there is no unseeing it. Truly: what's more royal, more regal — more befitting an American woman who married into her title and never lets us forget that she is a duchess — than releasing a home movie of yourself lifting up your dress, spreading your legs and gyrating while on the verge of giving birth?

Online ‘guru girlies' promise a better life, but is it too good to be true?
About two years ago, a self-professed 'goddess coach' called Jaelyn posted an eight hour-long 'sleep affirmation' video which, according to many a satisfied viewer, has worked wonders for them. In a somewhat sultry, meditative voice she repeats mantras and welcomes her listeners to attract 'the kind of men and people who will always treat you like a goddess'. The video, boldly titled Attract Men Who Spend Money, Provide and Love You! is one of many in a genre of content that is booming on YouTube and social media. I call them 'guru girlies', and they are proving a force to be reckoned with. In their rather austere imparting of wisdom, guru girlies have become many young women's go-to guide for all manner of modern conundrums. The spectrum of gurus is vast, but their advice is mainly focused on the idea of 'levelling up'. From your diet to dressing better to your choice in friends or men, if you want to live your dream life, self-improvement is the prerequisite; the comprehensive physical, financial and spiritual sine qua non that any woman needs to become her best and dream self. When it comes to the physical, gurus give detailed insight on how to glow up and rebrand your life, often using themselves as examples of how, given the right mindset and Pinterest boards, they were able to lose weight, reduce acne, stay on trend and become a modern standard of beauty that social media sits before in awe. Spiritually, guru girlies are invariably enamoured with manifestation techniques, subliminal messaging and the universe's seeming interest in giving us every abundance if only we'd ask it to. If you are feeling unfulfilled, it's time to access your divine feminine energy. One guru describes this energy as 'self-prioritisation', performing ritualistic (and often costly) tasks of feminine self-care such as gratitude journaling, healthy eating and skincare routines, all in a bid to get back from the world what you put into it. How conveniently straightforward this all seems, and yet how odd that these young guru girlies are lauded as bringers of divine secrets in all matters feminine. Financially, gurus typically see men as a means to a life of wealth and abundance. Creators such as Leticia Padua, known by her devoted following as SheraSeven, claims that because all men cheat ('it's just a matter of time'), it's important for women to find the cheater with the most money. This financial levelling up – a mindset that involves distinguishing between high-value, provider men and what Shera calls 'dusties' – has proved highly popular. And that's because at the root of all this content is a brewing disappointment that many a young woman, scrolling through her social media and navigating a rapidly changing modern world, is bound to feel. A disappointment with modern love and prospects, with our unfiltered face and appearance, and with the fact that real life isn't nearly as ideal as it is online. Guru girlies are there to bridge the gap between your disappointing reality and the ideal they purport to embody, right before you onscreen. This is done by submitting to the system, not as an act of defeat but as empowerment. Arguably the most well-known guru, Thewizardliz (known as Liz) is a case in point. 'Start expecting good treatment, start expecting to be spoiled, start expecting him to give you money,' she instructs in a video. 'Princess treatment' isn't so much seen as infantilising or disempowering as it is heralded by many guru girlies as a righteous investment in becoming your highest, most feminine self, courtesy of a provider man. However just last week, a four-months pregnant Liz accused her 'provider' husband, YouTuber and software CEO Landon Nickerson of messaging another woman. In all of this, there is no doubt an addictive nature to self-improvement that explains why a new guru, delivering the same old message, seems to blow up every other week. In an age where ever-changing trends dictate our dreams and ideals, where there is always some undiscovered aspect of ourselves to improve on, we are conveniently primed to keep going back to these gurus in a vain attempt to change who we fundamentally are. 'The internet is making us feel like there is always something we could be improving, and there's a sense that we feel no choice but to try and keep up sometimes,' says former guru follower Just a Girl in Paris in a video critique. What's fortunate for these gurus is that, because the onus of failing to self-improve is always placed on you, your misery and dissatisfaction perfectly places you to keep returning to her either for advice or, increasingly it would seem, for comfort. Because the truth is, much of what makes these guru girlies convincing isn't the success rate of their advice, it is the parasocial relationship they bring to the already toxic world of self-improvement and wellness culture. Audiences see their favourite influencer less as a guru than as a kind of ideal friend: the pretty, rich, self-confident and inaccessible woman who, in real life, would never actually be our friend. Many gurus have fostered a false intimacy with their audience that has become a given. 'She's literally like every girl's older sister,' says one of Thewizardliz's followers. 'Sometimes I forget she is a famous influencer and not my best friend who gives me advice on FaceTime,' reads another of the countless adoring comments. Viewers find comfort and ease in a superficial albeit meaningful relationship that isn't rooted in the messy ups and downs of a real friendship. Their guru friend tells them everything they want to hear about creating their dream life, which only requires intangibles such as affirmations, cutting off disappointing people or a mindset shift. So even if taking all these steps proves to be joyless and wanting, at least your guru, ready with her next upload, will be there to be your ideal friend, all over again.
