Saturday night, December 28, saw Crypto.com Arena buzzing, not just with hockey fans but with the undeniable energy of Demi Lovato, her fiancé Jutes, and the ever-chaotic Will Ferrell. The trio, joined by Will’s son Magnus and Demi’s friend Dave Osokow, cozied up rinkside to witness the LA Kings take down the Edmonton Oilers in a nail-biting 4-3 overtime win. Spoiler: hockey wasn’t the only entertainment of the evening.
Dave Osokow, the unofficial paparazzo of the night, declared via Instagram Stories, “Never a bad time when Will is around,” which Demi promptly reposted because, well, it’s true. When Will Ferrell is in the mix, chaos and hilarity are guaranteed. Who else can turn a hockey game into an unscripted sequel to Anchorman?
Speaking of sequels, this rinkside reunion doubled as a mini throwback to Demi and Will’s time together in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Demi played Katiana Lindsdóttir, a rival singer with the voice of an angel and a knack for pyrotechnic mishaps. Will, of course, starred and wrote the film, likely drawing on his rich life experiences as the world’s greatest (fictional) Eurovision fan. Who knew their next collaboration would involve ice, pucks, and a mascot named Bailey?
Speaking of Bailey, Demi and Jutes made time to cuddle up to the LA Kings’ beloved lion mascot. One can only hope Bailey made it out of the selfie session alive because Pickle, Batman, and Ella—the canine trio ruling Demi and Jutes’ household—are probably eyeing his job. “Mascot auditions, anyone?”
The festive vibes didn’t stop at the arena. Earlier in the week, Demi had already won Christmas by sharing adorable snaps of her, Jutes, and their fur babies in front of their perfectly decorated tree. Dressed in matching black-and-white ensembles, the family looked ready to headline their own holiday special. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🖤🎄,” Demi captioned the pics, though the dogs were notably silent on the matter.
Between Christmas cuddles, hockey hijinks, and a surprise dose of Will Ferrell, Demi Lovato’s week had more star power than a Marvel crossover. What’s next—Demi and Jutes suiting up as the LA Kings’ backup goalie and center? Honestly, at this rate, nothing would surprise us.
