"Oh, it's that handsome guy from The River Café," thought Dua Lipa (31) when she met Callum Turner (36) again in Los Angeles. In 2023, the singer was having dinner with her father and the actor with some friends when the restaurant's co-owner introduced them. At that moment both were single, but there was still a lot of story to be written.
The couple, who first got married at the Marylebone registry office in London on May 31 and then in the church the first weekend of June at Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria in Palermo, attended the exclusive event Bvlgari Serpenti infinito on Wednesday night, as the singer was named a few months ago global ambassador for the Italian brand. In just two years, they have become one of the most sought-after couples in show business.
Before they reunited in January 2024, there were several hints of seeing each other again at various parties, but destiny had prepared them a beautiful beginning. Both actors coincided in a café, sat together, and realized that they were not only reading the same book, Fortune, by Hernán Díaz, Pulitzer Prize winner, but had just finished the first chapter. "We are on the same page," confessed the artist in British Vogue.
From that moment they started seeing each other regularly and it only took a discreet corner after a private party in Beverly Hills for the alarms to go off: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner were no longer playing games. TMZ caught them dancing at the party after the premiere of the series The Masters of the Air, starring Callum.
Then the paparazzi caught them affectionate in the streets, at several after-parties of the Grammy Awards, the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co., and the Brit Awards, at the Time 100 gala... In May 2024, the New Rules singer posted for the first time a photo of them hugging from behind on her Instagram. And in June 2025, they announced their engagement.
"This decision to grow old together, to share a life together, and just, I don't know, be best friends forever, is a really special feeling," the Englishwoman - of Albanian-Kosovar origins - narrated, and regarding motherhood added that "I think it will happen when it has to happen. I love children, but I think raising a child goes far beyond just liking children."
Before their hearts merged, they had several relationships that didn't work out. Dua Lipa's youthful romance with chef and model Isaac Carew, with whom she had a series of ups and downs that disrupted their love story. They started dating in 2013 and were together until early 2017, when it was said that the singer dated model and musician Paul Klein for a few months, but they broke up after a few months. He stated in Harper's Bazaar that "I had never felt such pain. I'm not exaggerating. I think it was the first time I fell in love, and I had never felt anything like it in my life." In early 2018 Dua Lipa and Isaac rekindled their relationship, but they finally ended it for good in mid-2019.
A few weeks later, the hurricane Anwar Hadid arrived, the youngest of the supermodel clan of Gigi and Bella, with whom she moved to an apartment in New York and then to a mansion in Los Angeles. They spent the pandemic together, adopted several puppies, and everything seemed to be going smoothly until a crisis caused by distance and their busy work schedules ended their relationship in late 2021. In Vogue, the British singer said, "the next chapter of my life is about feeling really good being alone."
It was rumored that Dua Lipa was seen with presenter Trevor Noah and rapper Jack Harlow, but none confirmed it. Before her ideal person arrived, she dated director Romain Gavras (45), with whom she made the relationship public at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. However, by the end of that year, each went their separate ways.
On the other hand, Callum Turner also carried his own emotional baggage. The London actor, experienced in period productions and war dramas, had a relationship from 2015 to 2019 with actress Vanessa Kirby (38). That breakup, handled with the proverbial British phlegm and without public outbursts, left the actor visibly cautious about exposing his affections. Both knew all too well the difficulty of recovering from a public breakup under the voracious spotlight of the English tabloids.
In 2023, there were rumors that he had an affair with Victoria Villarreal (34), an influencer and former assistant to Kylie Jenner (29).
