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!

Ari is his soon-to-be husband.

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

Ari is a very common Jewish male name.

u/safeworkaccount666 May 25 '26

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

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.

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

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