Demi Lovato Reflects on Marriage, Motherhood, and the Next Chapter of Her Life with Jutes: “I’m Just Going to Take It as It Comes”
Demi Lovato is in a new era — one marked by love, peace, and the kind of clarity that comes after years of self-discovery. In a heartfelt new interview, the Grammy-nominated singer opened up about her recent marriage to musician Jutes, her thoughts on having children, and what her evolving relationship with herself has taught her about happiness, family, and the unpredictable rhythm of life.
Speaking with Apple Music, Lovato revealed that she and Jutes, who tied the knot in May, are embracing married life with the same sense of openness and authenticity that has defined their relationship from the beginning. “I just got married,” she said with a smile that fans could hear through her words. “I’m thinking about kids, you know… I think about it all the time. I’m such a fluid person that I’m just going to take it as it comes.”
It’s a statement that feels quintessentially Demi — grounded yet free, reflective of someone who has spent the past decade not just growing up in public, but learning to trust her own timing. For Lovato, 32, who has weathered both personal and professional storms in the spotlight, the calm she exudes now feels earned.
Her relationship with Jutes, born Jordan Lutes, has been at the heart of that transformation. The two musicians met in 2022 while collaborating on Lovato’s eighth studio album, Holy Fvck. What began as a creative connection quickly blossomed into something deeper — a bond rooted in mutual respect, artistic understanding, and an unspoken sense of safety. “He’s my best friend,” Lovato said in a previous interview. “When you find someone who matches your energy, your humor, and your heart, it changes everything.”
Their romance unfolded quietly at first, but by the time Lovato released Revamped, her reimagined rock versions of her greatest hits, it was clear that this was more than just another celebrity love story. Jutes became her constant companion on tour, a collaborator behind the scenes, and a pillar of stability in her everyday life. The couple often share glimpses of their connection on social media — from casual date nights to creative jam sessions — but their energy is notably lowkey, grounded in affection rather than performance.
In many ways, this chapter of Demi’s life marks a striking departure from the turbulence of her twenties. She has openly spoken about the pressures of growing up as a child star, the battles with addiction and mental health that followed, and her long journey toward balance and recovery. Through it all, she’s become an advocate for self-acceptance and emotional wellness, encouraging fans to reject perfection and embrace progress instead.
Now, as she speaks about family and motherhood, that same philosophy applies. “I’ve learned that there’s no perfect timeline,” Lovato said. “I used to feel like I had to have everything figured out by a certain age — marriage, kids, the whole thing. But life doesn’t work like that. You just have to be open to what feels right.”
Her new album, It’s Not That Deep, mirrors that sentiment. Described as her most introspective yet liberating project, the record sees Lovato revisiting her roots with fresh honesty. The music blends her rock influences with the emotional candor that’s always defined her songwriting. “It’s about simplicity,” she told Apple Music. “After everything I’ve been through, I just want to make music that feels good — that feels real.”
It’s that same authenticity that makes her reflections on family so resonant. While Lovato admits she often thinks about having children, she’s not rushing into anything. “I’ve learned to let go of control,” she said. “I know that when the time is right, it’ll happen. Until then, I’m enjoying where I am.”
Friends close to the couple say that their relationship thrives on mutual support and shared values. Both artists have publicly emphasized mental health awareness and creative honesty, and they bring those ideals into their marriage. “They really listen to each other,” one insider shared. “They don’t try to fix or change one another — they grow together.”
That dynamic has been especially meaningful for Lovato, who has long spoken about the importance of emotional safety in relationships. After years of living under scrutiny, she’s found solace in a partner who respects her boundaries and celebrates her individuality. “He makes her laugh, but more importantly, he makes her feel understood,” the source added. “That’s everything for her.”
Fans have noticed that Lovato’s demeanor has softened in recent months. She appears calmer, more content, and more at ease in her own skin. “Marriage suits her,” one fan commented on social media after her recent interview went viral. “She radiates peace.”
Still, Lovato remains as driven as ever. Alongside her new music, she’s continuing her work as a mental health advocate, often speaking at events and supporting organizations that promote recovery and self-acceptance. Her openness about therapy, boundaries, and healing has inspired millions, and her message remains consistent: growth isn’t linear, and self-love is a lifelong process.
When asked what marriage has taught her so far, Lovato paused thoughtfully before answering. “Patience,” she said. “Love isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up — even on the hard days. It’s about grace, and laughter, and choosing each other over and over again.”
That outlook extends to how she views motherhood. For Lovato, it’s not about meeting an expectation — it’s about creating a family dynamic rooted in love, empathy, and understanding. “I think being a mom would be one of the most beautiful experiences,” she said. “But I also think you have to be in a place where you can give that love fully. I want to make sure I’m there emotionally, spiritually, all of it.”
It’s a sentiment that reflects the maturity and emotional intelligence Lovato has developed over time. She’s candid about the fact that her journey hasn’t been easy — and that finding balance remains a daily effort. But she’s also quick to acknowledge the joy she’s found in the process. “I used to chase happiness like it was this faraway thing,” she said. “Now I realize it’s in the small moments — morning coffee with my husband, writing a song I love, feeling grateful just to be alive.”
Jutes has echoed similar feelings in interviews, often describing Lovato as his muse and biggest inspiration. “She’s the strongest person I know,” he said earlier this year. “She’s taught me so much about compassion and courage. I feel lucky every day.”
Their love story — creative, grounded, and deeply human — has struck a chord with fans who’ve watched Lovato evolve from a teen star into a woman who’s unafraid to own her narrative. Through heartbreak, reinvention, and healing, she’s built a life defined not by fame or chaos, but by intention.
And if parenthood is part of that future, Lovato seems ready to embrace it with the same openness that’s carried her this far. “I’ve stopped trying to predict what my life will look like five or ten years from now,” she said. “I just know I want to keep growing, keep creating, and keep loving the people who make me feel seen.”
As the conversation wound down, Lovato reflected once more on her journey. “For a long time, I didn’t think I’d make it to this place — where I could actually say I’m happy,” she admitted. “But I am. I really am.”
In that moment, her words felt like a quiet triumph — the kind that doesn’t come from awards or chart-topping hits, but from the peace of knowing you’ve found your way home.
Demi Lovato has been many things over the years — a Disney icon, a pop powerhouse, a survivor, a storyteller. But now, she’s something she’s never been before: simply herself. And for the first time in a long time, that seems to be enough.
