Demi Lovato and Jutes won’t be rushing to get married.

The couple got engaged in December 2023 and are taking time to enjoy this stage of their relationship because they don’t want to add too much pressure by rushing through the planning process for their big day.

Jutes – real name Jordan Lutes – told People magazine: “We’re not trying to stress each other out. I feel like a lot of weddings can be stressful and really fast-paced, so we’re there, but we’re we also take our time and we also enjoy being engaged.

“We’re not trying to skip the engagement and go straight to the wedding. We’re just soaking it in and soaking it up. We’ll be married forever. We just want to enjoy every step of the way.”

The “Sleepyhead” singer met Demi in the recording studio when he was working with her on her 2022 album “Holy Fvck” and they both love how “rare” it was that their romance began with a platonic friendship.

He said: “(It’s) so rare these days. I think she even said to her friends, ‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen one in the wild’ or something like that , because we met in real life.

“It wasn’t even like we were meeting for a date. We were meeting to write. It was platonic. It was like, ‘Let’s make music together.’ Let’s do what we both love to do.’ And it was the coolest way to bond with someone and become friends.”

And although Jutes immediately knew the “Confident” singer was “very special,” he was keen to keep their relationship professional and it took a while for things to become romantic between them.

He said: “I knew she was obviously very special, and I was very surprised at how comfortable and close I felt to her very quickly, but I didn’t even thought it would be more than friends. In my mind, I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m a songwriter.’ It didn’t even cross my mind.

“And then I think we wrote a few more songs and we went to shows and we started talking more and more gradually, and then as time went on we were going out more, and then one thing led to another other.

“I don’t know if I admitted to myself that I was crushed, but I was like, ‘Oh, I really like being with this person. This person really understands me. I feel like I already know them. ‘ It was very easy and it was enjoyable.”
