Demi Lovato was practical when it came to her boyfriend Jutes’ latest tattoo — literally!
The 31-year-old “Confident” singer stopped by. Show Jennifer Hudson on Thursday where they opened up about how she “helped” ink her musician.
“So my boyfriend was on tour with me, visiting and we had a tattoo artist there and he wanted to tattoo the name of my song ‘Forever for Me,’ which is a song I wrote about him,” Lovato said. “And while he was getting the tattoo, he said, ‘I want you to do it.’ ”
It was a question Lovato didn’t expect to hear. “I thought, ‘What?’ ” they remembered.
The star then told Hudson (42) that they reluctantly agreed. “I assisted, I wouldn’t say I gave the whole tattoo, otherwise it would look really bad,” she said with a laugh. “But I did a good bit of it and it turned out OK.”

Lovato and Jutes, whose real name is Jordan Lutes, dated for more than a year, and PEOPLE exclusively revealed their relationship news in August 2022. “It’s a really happy and healthy relationship. He’s a great guy,” an insider told the time.
The couple met, Lovato told Hudson on Thursday’s episode of her syndicated talk show, while in the studio. At the time, Lovato was working on her 2022 album SAINT FVCK.
“He actually helped write one of my singles, ‘Substance,’ and a few songs on my last album,” they said. “We worked well together and we’re super in love, so I’m very happy with him.”
“It’s amazing to be able to find someone you can just laugh and laugh with and make music with,” Lovato added. “He’s so special, so I’m very happy.”

Last September, Lovato appeared on the PodcastOne podcast LadyGang and admitted he was “nervous” when they first met the Jutes.
“The way I met my boyfriend was actually at a session,” she said on the podcast. “He is a musician himself, but he is also a co-author of other people’s music. So he came to the session, and I was literally like, ‘Who is this guy?'”
“I texted my friends and was like, ‘Oh my god, the hottest guy just walked in. I’m so nervous. I don’t know what to do with myself,'” Lovato added before explaining that they had “been friends for a while” before rather than anything romantic because he was “so focused on the music”.
