Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato hug it out after Jonas Brothers show sparking nostalgic ‘Camp Rock’ reunion

BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY: The Jonas Brothers kicked off their 20th-anniversary tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday with a surprise reunion that took social media by storm.

During the MetLife show, Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers performed fan favorites 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn’t Change a Thing'.

Lovato later posted photos from the night on Instagram, captioning them, “Hey Siri, play This Is Me by Mitchie Torres.”

The Jonas Brothers' official account also posted images, but Nick Jonas’ post struck the deepest chord with fans.

Nick uploaded several pictures, including one of him hugging Lovato, writing, “Can’t put into words what last night meant to me and my family."

"Growing up down the street from this iconic venue and having the chance to play to a sold-out crowd of 52k people was truly a dream come true," he posted.

Nick Jonas expresses gratitude to 'special guest' Demi Lovato

In his post, Nick Jonas also shared gratitude for their special guests, writing, “Not to mention the special guests who were gracious enough to give incredible performances that signified the journey we’ve been on over these past 20 years. My heart is full.”

He added, “It’s going to probably take me a few days, maybe weeks to fully unpack what happened on August 10, 2025, but I’ll tell you one thing for sure — I can’t wait to get back on stage tomorrow night in Bristow and continue this celebration of life, family, and music.”

Following their duet, Joe Jonas embraced his former co-star and rumored ex-girlfriend. Lovato then hugged Nick, patting him on the back, before greeting Kevin Jonas with another hug. Fans also noticed that Lovato had recently followed Nick on Instagram after years of no online interaction.

Demi Lovato’s past with Nick and Joe Jonas resurfaces

In a 2017 interview with Noisey, Demi Lovato said her song 'Ruin the Friendship' was inspired by frustration over “a certain situation,” revealing she sent it directly to the person it was about. “The person knew about my feelings, but neither of us had ever acknowledged it before,” she said.

On being pressured by Ellen on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' later that year to confirm if this song was meant for Nick, she replied, “You know, something that I always keep to myself is who I write my songs about.”

Lovato unfollowed Nick on Instagram in June 2018 during the height of his romance with Priyanka Chopra, months before his wedding.

“When i said demi and nick hug was so personal to me and the fact that he posted it i don’t even know how to explain how i feel,” another person wrote.

Another added, “I noticed that Nick Jonas wasn’t tagged in the photo. This isn’t a criticism, just an observation that makes you think about how certain distances can also be reflected online. Always with respect and admiration for both.”

“Her recovery has been amazing, so happy to see her thriving!,” one fan wrote, while another concluded, “If i had to guess she’s just being cordial and/or she’s just at a much better place in her life and is able to forgive and forget.”
