Demi Lovato debuted her then new boyfriend to the world when she stepped out with him for a dinner date at LAVO Italian Restaurant in New York City, NY in August 2022. The singer was hand in hand with the musician Jute$ during the outing, finally putting a face to the unidentified love interest mentioned in several headline-making reports in the weeks before. Now the lovebirds are engaged after the songwriter popped the question in a “personal and intimate proposal” on December 16, 2023, according to PEOPLE.
A photo showing the happy couple was shared by the outlet and Demi’s incredible bespoke pear-shape diamond solitaire engagement ring created by N.Y.C. luxury jewelry boutique Material Good could be seen in it as she held onto her soon-to-be husband and smiled. After the engagement was official, they both went to a Los Angeles-based restaurant to celebrate with their families.

Jute$ has reportedly been signed to Capitol Records and released music as an independent artist. He uses social media to promote his songs and has a large following of over 90K on Instagram. In early August 2022, he released “Hollywood Hillbilly,” the first single off his latest project, and shared a music video to social media. He also has a single called “Out the Door” being released in early September.
He Worked on Several of Demi’s Songs
The talented artist and songwriter took to Instagram to reveal he helped write her 2022 song “Substance” and admitted it was “one of the hardest projects” he’d ever heard. “substance by @ddlovato out now!! one of my fav songs i’ve ever worked on,” he wrote in the caption.
“when i got asked to pull up and write for this session i remember thinking wtf am i supposed to do in a demi lovato session?” he continued. “only to show up and realize she was making one of the hardest rock projects i’ve ever heard. obviously a crazy milestone for me but beyond that i feel so blessed to be a part of something i’m such a big fan of. cheers to the whole gang .”
Jutes also worked on the songs “Happy Ending” and “City of Angels,” which are off of Demi’s eighth album Holy Fvck.
He Has A Lot of Tattoos
It’s clear to see that with the amount of tattoos Jute$ has, he must love body art. The rocker often shows off them off in pics and videos and they appear to be on both of his arms, hands, neck, chest, back, legs, and even his face. Some of the art that’s featured includes a dollar bill, music notes, and the phrase, “Chin up, beautiful.”
His Hair Color Often Changes
In his various social media pics and videos, Jute$ has donned blonde, red, and pink hair. He also likes to wear a lot of different types of hats, including trucker hats, baseball caps, and knit caps.
He and Demi Are Reportedly in a ‘Happy and Healthy’ Romance
A source previously told PEOPLE that the new couple is a great one and Jute$, who was unidentified at the time, is a “super great guy” who seems like the perfect partner. “It’s a really happy and healthy relationship,” the source told the outlet. Before she was in a romance with Jute$, Demi was engaged to Max Ehrich in 2020.
During a September 2023 interview with Howard Stern, Demi gushed that she is “in an amazing relationship” with her beau. She also shared her feelings about Jutes in a loving Valentine’s Day tribute to him on social media. “I’ve waited my whole life to find you and I can’t wait to celebrate so many more birthdays together.. you’re a literal dream come true and I’m so grateful to call you mine,” she wrote on Instagram.
