Demi Lovato is married! The 32-year-old singer tied the knot with her longtime partner, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, in an intimate ceremony in California on Sunday, May 25. According to reports, the bride was a sight in a custom pearl white Vivienne Westwood gown featuring a corset bodice and cathedral-style tulle veil. Lovato, who collaborated with the fashion house on the design, described the gown as a perfect reflection of her style, saying, “I love everything about the dress.” Later at the reception, she changed into a second Westwood piece—an ivory silk satin column dress adorned with broken pearls trailing from the neckline.
The couple, who first met during a writing session for Lovato’s 2022 album “Holy Fvck,” began dating in August of that year and got engaged in a private proposal in Los Angeles in December 2023. Known for keeping their relationship grounded and joyful, the newlyweds took their time planning the wedding, opting for a relaxed pace rather than rushing down the aisle. Ahead of their big day, they hosted a rehearsal dinner led by celebrity planner Mindy Weiss. On Valentine’s Day, Lovato shared her excitement about their future, writing on Instagram, “I can’t wait to grow old with you and start a family together.”

Nigerian singer and songwriter Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has finally addressed the split from P-Square, the legendary music duo he formed with his twin brother, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy). In a candid interview on Cool FM Lagos, Mr P opened up about the decision to part ways, expressing a sense of fulfillment in his solo career. “There’s a joy that comes with going solo. Please respect our decisions. We’ve tried it; it’s not working,” he said, hinting at the duo’s inability to sustain their reunion after years of internal conflict and reconciliation.
Mr P’s remarks come months after Paul Okoye publicly confirmed that the group had parted ways once again. The brothers, who initially split in 2016 before reuniting in 2021, have long been subjects of speculation regarding their rocky relationship. As fans grapple with the news and share mixed reactions online, both artists seem resolute in forging their paths individually. Mr P noted that beyond the music, personal peace and creative freedom have become priorities for him—a sentiment that underscores the finality of the latest P-Square breakup.
3. Russia and Ukraine swap hundreds more prisoners hours after a massive attack on Kyiv
🇺🇦🇷🇺1000 FOR 1000: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE FINISH LARGEST PRISONER SWAP

Russia and Ukraine conducted a significant prisoner swap on Saturday, exchanging hundreds of captured soldiers and personnel in a rare display of cooperation between the warring nations. The large-scale exchange comes amid prolonged and largely unsuccessful efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire. The deal marks one of the few coordinated humanitarian efforts seen in recent months, as both sides remain locked in a deadly and drawn-out conflict.
The swap occurred just hours after Kyiv was struck by a wave of Russian drone and missile attacks. Ukrainian authorities reported that the assault began late Saturday night and continued into the early hours of Sunday, marking one of the capital’s most intense bombardments in recent weeks. Despite the fresh violence, the successful execution of the prisoner exchange has offered a rare glimmer of hope for ongoing talks aimed at easing hostilities.

Kendrick Lamar has once again made history, setting a new record for the highest-grossing concert by a rapper. His May 17 performance at Seattle’s Lumen Field drew an impressive crowd of 60,941 fans and grossed a staggering $14.8 million, according to reports. The show is part of his ongoing Grand National Tour with fellow Top Dawg Entertainment artist SZA and has officially surpassed Lamar’s own previous record of $11.8 million, which he set just a month earlier at the AT&T Arena in Texas.
This milestone adds to what’s already been a historic year for the Compton rapper. In February, Kendrick headlined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, drawing a record-breaking 133.5 million U.S. viewers—just edging out Michael Jackson’s legendary 1993 performance. With the Super Bowl itself becoming the most-watched in history, attracting 127 million viewers for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs showdown, Lamar’s cultural and commercial impact in 2025 continues to redefine success in hip-hop.
5. Kylian Mbappe beats Viktor Gyokeres and Mohamed Salah to the European Golden Shoe
🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé has now won the European Golden Boot in his debut season at Real Madrid.
⚽️ 43 goals
🎯 5 assists
🏆 2 trophies
🏅 6x Ligue1 Golden Boot
🏅 1x UEFA Champions League Golden Boot
🏅 1x FIFA World Cup Golden Boot

Kylian Mbappe has claimed the European Golden Shoe for the first time in his career, capping off a remarkable debut season with Real Madrid. The French forward netted 31 goals in La Liga and 42 in all competitions, securing the prestigious award ahead of Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. While Gyokeres scored more league goals (39 in Portugal’s Primeira Liga), the award’s coefficient system, favoring top five European leagues, gave Mbappe the edge, with each of his goals worth two points, earning him a total of 62 points, ahead of Gyokeres’ 58.5 and Salah’s 58.
Mbappe’s triumph silences early-season critics who questioned his form and finishing. His Golden Shoe win also marks a historic milestone: he is now the only player in football history to have won the European Golden Shoe, the World Cup Golden Boot, and the Champions League Golden Boot. He becomes the first Frenchman to win the award since Thierry Henry’s back-to-back victories in 2004 and 2005. As Real Madrid prepares for the upcoming Club World Cup, where they’ll face the likes of Al-Hilal and Red Bull Salzburg, Mbappe will look to continue his incredible form and add more silverware to a glittering debut campaign.
