Demi Lovato kicked off her ‘It’s Not That Deep’ tour in Orlando on Monday, and the opening night delivered considerably more than anyone expected. Selena Gomez was in attendance, watching from box seats in the audience. She later shared photos from the night and wrote that she was in tears, describing it as one of the best shows she had ever seen. The two were photographed embracing backstage, marking their first known photo together in nearly a decade.

Their friendship runs deeper than Disney. They starred together in the 2009 film “Princess Protection Program” before gradually drifting apart around 2010. Speaking on the ‘Baby, This is Keke Palmer’ podcast in March, Lovato credited that pre-Disney friendship as a source of safety when she first entered that world. “I felt this safety when I came into the Disney Channel, having a built-in friendship there already,” she said

The nostalgia did not stop there. Backstage, Lovato posted a TikTok using audio from a Keeping Up with the Kardashians promo, mouthing the words “OK guys, we’re back. Did you miss us? ‘Cause we missed you.” Joe Jonas, who also appeared during the night for a surprise stage performance of “This Is Me” from “Camp Rock” and “On the Line,” joined in the nostalgic moment, with both leaning fully into what the evening represented.

Monday’s opening night also lands in the middle of a broader wave of Disney Channel nostalgia. Miley Cyrus returned to her “Hannah Montana” roots last month for the show’s 20th anniversary special and had her own reunion with Gomez, who had a recurring role on the series. For a generation that grew up on that era, 2026 has already delivered more than expected.

Victoria Beckham addressed the family’s ongoing feud with her son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham.

In a recent interview with Wall Street Journal the fashion designer spoke about the rift when asked about it without directly referencing Brooklyn.

“I think that we’ve always-we love our children so much. We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be, she said. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

The response follows earlier claims made by Brooklyn in a series of public statements and post earlier this year, where he publicly accused his parents on Instagram of trying to sabotage his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. He claimed his parents have been trying “endlessly to ruin” his relationship.

Also he specifically accused his mom of backing out of plans to design Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress at the “eleventh hour”. He also claimed she called him “evil” during disagreements over wedding seating, disrupted their first dance, and brought people from his past back into their lives in ways he said made both him and his wife uncomfortable.

He went on to say that he felt controlled by his parents for most of his life and struggled with anxiety growing up. According to him, stepping away from his family has brought a sense of relief, marking the first time he has felt free from that pressure.

Victoria Beckham addressed the reports during the interview, saying they were not trying to control the narrative around their son or their family. She also denied the allegations of she and her husband trying to ruin Brooklyn’s relationship with Nicola.
