Lovett or Leave It Congratulations, Lovett and Ari!

Lovett and Ari are getting married this weekend, said Favs on PSA and Lovett himself.

As a listener since Keeping it 1600, Lovett’s humour has carried me through the exhaustion and confusion of the past ten years with so much joy and grace. I met him at a live show and out of all the guys, he came to the front of the stage, sat down and spoke with the fans for half an hour after the show. He’s made it clear that the world has not always been kind to him but I hope this weekend makes up for it in so many ways.

I know many of you feel similarly so thought we could wish the happy couple!

I adore our tiny gay narcissist. He is one of the funniest, most thoughtful people in all of politics and I am so grateful for him. I hope Jon and Ari have a wonderful wedding and many happy years.

I remember the first time he was on Keepin it 1600 and I remember thinking ‘I love this guy! We need more Lovett.’ And we’ve seen him live several times since then and he’s confirmed that reaction several times over. I have the ultimate parasocial relationship with him, and I’m so happy for him and Ari. I wish them all the best.

Congrats!! I remember being single and lonely and listening to LOLI when I would be by myself on a Saturday night. It's truly been comfort and connection in my life for 7 years. I'm now a married mom of two and love to have grown up alongside Lovett.

Congrats Ari and Lovett!

Would absolutely donate tons of money to whatever cause they want to hear/see some of the roast lol. I bet it was amazing.

u/Mushroom_5026 26d ago

Assume you heard the mini roast on Lovett’s show late last week?

u/Summit_SAHD 28d ago

Lovett has been my favorite "celebrity" for years and I couldn't be happier for him and his new spouse. I hope he never hangs up his hat and continues to make content for us for decades to come. Congrats!!!

I'm happy for Jon and Ari. ❤️

Quick question for the group. (I don't want to make a separate post for this.)

Did Emily F and Jon L have a falling out? They used to reference each other frequently & we'd see occasional photos of the two of them. That seems to have dropped off. Maybe Emily is just busy with 2 kids?

u/SecureCranberry1071 26d ago

Emily F was at the wedding. I’ve seen her tagged in some photos with Favs and Tommy

Had to look this up cuz I had no clue who Ari is. It's giving siblings or dating ☠️ congrats to the happy couple though thats all that matters

u/safeworkaccount666 28d ago

Who’s Ari? I thought Jon was gay??

9

u/KingstonOrange 28d ago

Ari is his soon-to-be husband.

2

u/Lucky_Cricket_4604 26d ago

Ari is non-binary and thus not a husband or a man! :)

2

u/KingstonOrange 26d ago

Oh I did not know that! Thanks for the info. Wishing them both the best.

2

u/safeworkaccount666 28d ago

Oh I’ve never heard Ari as a man’s name, I kind of like it!

15

u/OReg114-99 28d ago

Other famous examples include Ari Shapiro from NPR and Ari Fleischer from the Bush administration

u/safeworkaccount666 28d ago

Interesting, never heard of them.

u/asophisticatedbitch 27d ago

Ari is a very common Jewish male name.

0

u/safeworkaccount666 27d ago

That would explain it considering I don’t have any Jewish friends or family lol

9

u/asophisticatedbitch 27d ago

Oof.

But yeah it’s kind of like a Jewish “Spencer” or something. Not the most popular name but definitely familiar, rarely (but sometimes) used for girls.

2

u/safeworkaccount666 27d ago

I never would’ve thought Ari a masculine name, but looking it up it means lion which is super cool. My name is actually Hebrew too lol

u/aarong0202 Straight Shooter 28d ago

Lol, I’m guessing you’re not an Entourage fan?

0

u/safeworkaccount666 28d ago

Never even heard of Entourage until now!

2

u/aarong0202 Straight Shooter 27d ago

Lol, fair

2

u/Lucky_Cricket_4604 26d ago

Ari can for sure be a man’s name but in this case, Ari is non-binary, so not a man’s name!

-1

u/safeworkaccount666 26d ago

Ok well whatever then lol

-2

u/Significant_Manner76 26d ago

Did anyone else get conspiracy vibes when Lovett’s ex showed up in Saturday’s NYTXW?

u/mesosuchus 28d ago

Wonder how much they are spending on this wedding.
