Demi Lovato’s fiancé, Jordan Lutes, who also goes by Jutes, is reflecting on a relationship milestone, sharing how he prepped to propose to the Disney alum and had multiple breakdowns while doing so. 

During an appearance on The Viall Files on Thursday, October 10, Jutes recalled how and when he asked fellow musician Lovato, 31, to marry him. “I wrote a song,” Jutes, 33, who popped the question to Lovato in 2023, said. “I’m not a guitar player, but I kind of play some chords. So it took me like a week just to write some chords. Then I wrote a song, and then I practiced it.”

Jutes revealed that the song ended with “Will you marry me?” but playing it on strings proved so difficult that he messed up three out of four times and simply hoped he would get it right in front of Lovato. “I definitely almost broke down crying a few times,” he confessed.

To make the big ask, Jutes shared that he asked Lovato’s team to distract her with some made-up engagements before he performed, intending to catch her completely off guard. He said he was confident she would say yes because they had discussed getting married and similar topics in passing.

Bala was arrested by police following a complaint filed by his ex-wife, Amritha Suressh. The actor was reportedly detained by the police from his house in Edappally during the wee hours of the day on October 14. He has been charged under the Juvenile Justice Act. Soon after Bala’s arrest, Amritha came forward to share the challenges she and her daughter faced after their separation from the accused.

According to a report by Mathrubhumi, Amritha narrated her ordeal and shared that they felt “haunted” for many years. She continued, “I faced unspeakable physical and mental torture continuously. I left that house when it began to affect her (my daughter).” She went on to reveal, “Even after the divorce, when we hoped to live in peace, he continued to follow us. We faced severe harassment on social media, and even going to school became troublesome.”

Amritha revealed that they faced “constant threats” by Bala, and at one point it just became unbearable as it started affecting her daughter Avantika. She further alleged that the actor never showed interest in meeting their daughter after the divorce. 

Amritha mentioned that their divorce agreement clearly stated that Bala would have to contribute to their daughter’s wedding. She added that a Rs 15 lakh insurance policy was taken for her, but the actor didn’t pay any of its premium. Suressh stated that the accused didn’t even ask to see his daughter even once.

As per the report, Bala’s ex-wife alleged that their divorce case was settled for a minimum amount, and yet they have been accused of “stealing crores.” Amritha also shared how her call records were leaked to some channels and false accusations were made against them during interviews. “The allegations of embezzling crores are false,” she concluded.

Nonetheless, Bala is currently being questioned at the Kadavanthra Police Station and will reportedly appear in court later in the evening.
