Demi Lovato, 32, married Canadian musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes 34, in Santa Barbara, California over the weekend. The couple, who went official with their relationship in August 2022, were engaged on Dec. 16, 2023.

Entertainment Tonight confirmed the couple of three years exchanged wedding vows in Santa Barbara on Sunday afternoon; with TMZ previously published photos and videos from the couple’s wedding rehearsal Saturday.

In an article in Vogue, Lovato shared that she chose a custom-designed, pearl white silk and satin Vivienne Westwood gown with a corset bodice and a cathedral-style ivory tulle veil for her wedding ceremony to Lutes, who wore a Saint Laurent suit. The fashion magazine shared pictures of her during dress fittings, with Lovato opting to style her dark hair in soft waves.

Lovato told Vogue, “When I was thinking about [what dress style I wanted], I often found myself coming back to Vivienne’s designs — specifically how the silhouettes really compliment the curves in your body, and her use of corsets.” For her wedding reception, Lovato wore another Vivienne Westwood dress — “The Audrey,” an ivory silk satin column dress with a draped corset top and pearls cascading from the neckline with each strand “draped and attached by hand, one by one,” per Lovato.
