Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are engaged.
The Levitating singer's fans spotted she was wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger in an Instagram post on Christmas Eve and she's now confirmed the 35-year-old actor popped the question with a custom piece of jewellery he had made with the advice of her sister Rina and her best friends.
Dua told the new issue of Britain's Vogue magazine: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting."
Of her ring, she added: "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well."
However, the couple - who began dating in January 2024 - have yet to set a wedding date because of their busy work schedules.
Dua, 29, said: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period.

"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?'"
Although Dua has seen people get engaged in the past, she had "never really understood the weight of it" but now she thinks committing to another person is "special".
She said: "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 Dance the Night Away hitmaker is keen to have a family of her own but admitted she doesn't know when would be a "good time" because of the demands of her pop career.
She said: "I'd love to have kids one day. But 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.
"I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children."
Dua and Callum had "many Sliding Doors moments", where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London.
A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when "all of a sudden" Callum appeared.

She thought: "Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe."
During their conversation, the pair realised they both "just happened to be reading" Hernan Diaz's novel Trust.
Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: "One thousand per cent."

Lidl just dropped ‘spectacular' new bakery item — and it only costs 79p
Lidl's in-store bakery boasts more than 40 items, with everything from brownies to boules and Belgian buns. But eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed a brand new item was just added to the line-up and it stands out from the rest thanks to its colourful toppings. The budget retailer has launched a Birthday Cake Bun in the bakery, priced at 79p and it features a pale pink icing and rainbow sprinkles. From the outside, it looks like a rather standard iced bun, but inside it's hiding a fabulous fruity pink swirl. Online reactions to the new supermarket product have been mixed so far, after @newfoodsuk shared a snap of the bun on Facebook and Instagram. Some thought it looked 'yum' and 'nice' while others claimed they'd tried it and it was 'too dry for them'. So Metro decided to put the Birthday Cake Bun to the test and find out if it's worth buying, and it certainly went down a treat. James Besanvalle, Metro's assistant opinion editor, rated it a 4.5 out of 5, hailing it as 'fantastic'. He said: 'Lidl's new Birthday Cake Bun combines all the best elements of a doughnut (pink icing and sprinkles) with a scroll-like bun (jam-filled and soft in the middle). Sure, it's sweet – but who really wants a birthday cake that's not? Supremely satisfying.' And Metro's specialist food writer, Courtney Pochin, also gave one a try. While James ate his on the day of purchase, Courtney took hers home to see how it would fare the next day and she was pretty impressed by how it held up. 'As someone who eats cake and pastries for a living, I've never been the biggest fan of supermarket baked goods. They just can't compete with homemade treats from independent bakeries,' she said. 'However, the Birthday Cake Bun was a pleasant surprise.' She continued: 'After a day sat on my desk and a night in the cupboard, I didn't have high hopes for the bun, which looked rather sad and dry when I plated it up. But I'm pleased to report that somehow it had managed to stay soft instead of going stale (not going to think too much about why this might be right now). 'It's a fun twist on a classic and I have to admit I probably enjoyed it more than most people will as I realised I haven't actually had an iced bun in years. 'There's something so spectacularly nostalgic about the taste of one and it went down very nicely with a cup of tea. 'My only real gripe is that Lidl has scrimped on the hundreds and thousands on top and they're not spread out evenly. In my book, there's no such thing as too many sprinkles. 'It loses a point for poor sprinkle form, so it's a 4 out of 5 from me' Lidl isn't the only supermarket with new baked goods on its shelves, as Tesco recently wowed shoppers with its brand new chocolate cake. The retailer has teamed up with Studio Bakery, a family-run bakery business from Lancashire, to start selling the brand's giant slices of cake inspired by a nostalgic favourite – you know, that one you always wanted to reach through the screen and smash your face into in Matilda. The aptly named Matilda Cake, is a beast of a chocolate cake slice that claims to serve 10 and sees 12 layers of chocolate sponge and 12 layers of ganache stacked one on top of the other. More Trending Priced at £16 for the slice, (which is meant to serve 10 people) the product can be found in Tesco's bigger stores, but not the Express ones. On social media, shoppers have hailed it the 'best chocolate cake they've ever had', with Frankie French posting in the Food Finds UK Official group to say: 'Best chocolate cake I've ever tried, this Studio Bakery Big Matilda Cake. Can't wait to be able to buy it in Tesco.' But Metro's Courtney Pochin thinks there's a better chocolate cake out there and that's Bertha. View More » She claimed the Matilda Cake came a 'close second' to the one sold by Leeds-based bakery, Get Baked, but the overall quality just wasn't on par. Do you have a story to share?

OnlyFans teacher slams Susanna Reid for 'cheap comment' after GMB interview
An OnlyFans teacher, who appeared on Good Morning Britain this week, has hit back at Susanna's Reid's on air comment at the end of her interview on the ITV breakfast show An OnlyFans teacher has hit back at Susanna Reid after her brutal comments following her interview on Good Morning Britain this week. Kirsty Buchan, 34, was struck off after pupils discovered her OnlyFans account, where she makes £60,000 a month for posting topless and lingerie pictures of herself. Speaking on the ITV show on Wednesday, the former physics teacher told Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley that she began posting on the app after her son became unwell and she needed time off. Towards the end of the interview, Susanna introduced weather presenter Laura Tobin - appearing to reference the chat with Kirsty. She laughed: "Right - let's have a look at weather now with Laura who's all covered up in a field in Kent." However, it doesn't look like Kirsty saw the funny side, as she took to her Instagram - slamming the "cheap comment." In a video on her Instagram stories, Kirsty said: 'The only cheap person in a room is the one making cheap comments and cheap digs to someone. 'It says more about their character than it ever will about the people they are talking about.' The former teacher then went on to express how it was "off-colour for her to get all sniffy about it after the interview ended," revealing she wasn't able to respond. "That's one thing about this whole episode that has frustrated me - that people want to judge me and aren't bothered about my own opinions or explanations," she continued. Elsewhere in her interview, Kirsty added that she didn't want her students to see the images, claiming that an adult illegally copyrighted the images and sent them out to children at the school. She also spoke to her 14 year-old son about it, and used a different name. I've got my moniker Jessica Jackrabbit, I put a wig on and loads of make-up. I didn't think I would be caught, I didn't think I would be famous," she said. The General Teaching Council for Scotland found that Kirsty failed to conceal her identity and position, her behaviour "lacked integrity" and said that she "used her profession as a selling tool" while the "school involved was now synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher".
