Pop sensation Dua Lipa has confirmed she is engaged to actor Callum Turner, putting an end to months of speculation that began when fans spotted a diamond ring on her left hand in a Christmas Eve Instagram post.
"Yes, we're engaged," the singer told British Vogue in its July cover interview. "It's very exciting. 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."
Dua revealed that Callum had the ring custom-made for her, consulting her inner circle — including her sister Rina and close friends — to ensure it reflected her personality. "I'm obsessed with it," she said. "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."
The couple, who began dating in January 2024, have mostly kept their relationship off the red carpet, instead offering fans the occasional soft-launch via sweet Instagram posts. That changed this year, when they made their official red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Dua wore a striking black Chanel halter dress with a plunging V-neck, while Callum complemented her look in a custom Louis Vuitton black suit, as reported by Vogue.
Despite the public debut and engagement, wedding bells won't be ringing just yet. "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," Dua 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?'"
The two first met at London's River Cafe, introduced by the restaurant's co-founder Ruth Rogers. They reconnected a year later over dinner in Los Angeles, where Dua was dining with poet Mustafa Ahmed and recognised Callum as "that really hot guy from The River Cafe." A shared love for books — specifically Hernan Diaz's Trust — sealed the connection.
Since their relationship went public in early 2024, the couple have made several low-key appearances together, from vacationing in Mexico to attending the Glastonbury music festival, where Dua headlined. In October, she posted a photo of Callum kissing her cheek after one of her shows, writing: "Post-show fun and so much love!"
As the couple look ahead, both are juggling packed schedules. Callum will next appear in Atropia, a war satire produced by Luca Guadagnino, and in a TV adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer. Meanwhile, Dua continues her Radical Optimism world tour, with stops across Australia and North America including a show at New York's Madison Square Garden.
