Dua Lipa casually confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner, after months of speculation.
The 29-year-old Grammy winner confirmed in British Vogue’s July cover story, “Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting.”
The stars, who’ve been linked since January 2024, were introduced by the cofounder of London’s The River Cafe and crossed paths again a year later in Los Angeles. The pop star says they had many “Sliding Doors moments,” referring to the 1998 romantic comedy starring Gwyneth Paltrow, including their “many” mutual friends.
Currently, Lipa and the actor, 35, are “just enjoying” their engagement.
“I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting,” she explained. “I’ve never been someone who’s really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I’m like: ‘Oh, what would I wear?’ … This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever — it’s a really special feeling.”
The Levitating singer added that, while she’d “love to have kids one day,” scheduling comes into play with family planning as well as wedding preparation.
“It’s like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time — how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I’d have to take,” said Lipa. “I think it’s just one of those things that’s going to happen when it happens.”
Lipa also showed off her bespoke engagement ring, which she’s “obsessed with.”
“It’s so me,” said Lipa. “It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.”
Lipa first showed off her ring on Christmas Eve in an Instagram carousel. Though she’s remained mum on the pending nuptials till now, she regularly posts Turner on her feed.
Earlier this week, she shared another carousel that opens with a photo of Turner kissing her head as she beams in his arms, captioned: “That’s amoreeee…” – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
