The couple first made their relationship Instagram official in August 2022, and the next year, Jutes popped the question, on Dec. 16, 2023. The following day, Lovato showed off her engagement ring on Instagram and wrote, “I’m still speechless … My love, I’m beyond excited to marry you.. every day I’ve spent with you has been a dream come true and I can’t wait to love and cherish you forever. Here’s to the rest of our lives. I love you baby.”
“yesterday i asked my best friend to marry me and she said yes,” Jutes added in a post of his own. “i can’t imagine my life without you and thank god now i’ll never have to. feeling like the luckiest man alive right now. i’m so in love with you.”
In addition to being life partners, they’re also musical collaborators. Jutes helped Lovato write multiple songs on their most recent album, Holy Fvck, including second single “Substance,” “Happy Ending” and “City of Angels”; the LP reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
The musicians are also dog parents to a tiny canine named Pickle.
Lovato hasn’t released a proper album since Holy Fvck in 2022, but they did drop Revamped, a collection of old songs from their discography re-recorded with a punk-rock edge, in 2023. She kept busy in 2024 with the release of documentary Child Star, which surveyed the effects of celebrity on kids and featured Drew Barrymore, Raven Symone and more.

The couple met while Jepsen was working on the dreamy dance pop tune “So Right” from her 2023 The Loveliest Time album, a track was co-written and produced by M.G.N. According to People, it was Jepsen’s management team that paired her up with the former member of indie band Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, who has also won six Grammy Awards for his work with Beck; M.G.N. was previously married to Nite Jewel’s Ramona Gonzalez for 12 years.

“I would’ve been too shy beforehand to be like, ‘Do you want to do a skit at the beginning?’ But now that we’re so close, it was just really fun and playful to be like, ‘Let’s have this very ’80s drama skit at the beginning where you ask me if I should come over and I say no, but then I come anyways,’” she said about the song’s intro, which features a short talk-up chat between the two about whether it would be a good idea for them to have a late-night hang. “You have to get to a certain level of comfort with somebody before you can get to those really playful, joyful, experimental places.”
At the time, “So Right” was the first track the couple collaborated on, but Jepsen told People that it was probably not going to be the last. “We’ll go traveling somewhere, and we’ll bring a little acoustic guitar,” she said. “I think you’ll see a lot more of our collaboration together for future projects, but this is our first little baby out in the world. We’re both so excited.”
At press time the couple had not announced a wedding date.

Ashanti also revealed that she’s engaged to “Just a Dream” singer to Essence, telling the publication, “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation. Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
The upcoming bundle of joy is Ashanti’s first child and Nelly’s fifth. The “Body On Me” singers began dating back in 2003 and the details of their romance were somewhat of a mystery to fans before they ultimately broke up in 2013. In June, fans began buzzing when Ashanti and Nelly attended the 3rd Annual Birthday Ball for Quality Control CEO Pierre “P” Thomas and were photographed together on the red carpet.

In an interview with Love and Hip Hop‘s Rasheeda and Kirk Frost in September, Nelly confirmed the ongoing rumors of their rekindled romance. “I think we both were pretty much doing what we do, but sometimes being separate you understand one another more,” he said of the 10-year gap in their relationship. “You be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly what they see.’ You know, because we all can be defensive sometimes in our own relationships. We know we wrong but we going to stand on it. But we all a victim to that.”
The life partners were once chart rivals. Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” dislodged Ashanti’s “Foolish” from the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2002. “Foolish” had reigned for 10 consecutive weeks, before “Hot in Herre” took over for a seven-week run.
Lenny Kravitz couldn’t be happier about his future son-in-law. While on the red carpet at the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival, the 59-year-old rocker gushed about his daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, and her recently confirmed engagement to Channing Tatum.
“Hey man, that’s life,” he told Entertainment Tonight when asked about the engagement. “When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that’s it.”
“I’ve done well,” added the “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over” singer. “Blessed.”
Lenny’s comments come just a couple months after People reported that the couple, who have been dating since 2021, had wedding bells in their future. In October, Zoë and the Magic Mike star sported Halloween costumes inspired by Rosemary’s Baby, and fans were quick to notice what appeared to be an engagement ring on the Batman actress’ knife-wielding hand.
In December, she appeared at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles with the same ring on her engagement finger.
“He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do,” Zoë told GQ in a November 2022 cover story. “We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other.”
Tatum and his wife of 10 years, Jenna Dewan, divorced in 2019.
Zoë’s rock star dad is fresh off the release of a number of projects at the tail end of 2023, most recently his “I Believe in Love Again” duet with Peggy Gou. Prior to that, he shared “Road to Freedom” for the Netflix film Rustin and “TK421,” for which he also shared a steamy music video.
“You all have truly made my year,” Lenny wrote on Instagram on New Year’s Eve. “Let’s put all of our love and positive energy into 2024 to make it better.”
