Pop star Dua Lipa confirms engagement to British actor Callum Turner

Pop star Dua Lipa confirms engagement to British actor Callum Turner The Grammy award-winning artist, known for her hit songs New Rules, One Kiss and Houdini, has reportedly been dating the actor since January 2024 Actor Callum Turner and singer Dua Lipa are engaged (Image: Michael Loccisano/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images ) Pop star Dua Lipa has confirmed she is engaged to Masters Of The Air actor Callum Turner. The Grammy award-winning artist, known for her hit songs New Rules, One Kiss and Houdini, has reportedly been dating the actor since January 2024. ‌ The 29-year old singer is currently performing around the world for her Radical Optimism tour, with upcoming performances at London's Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden in New York. ‌ Fronting the July issue of British Vogue, she told the magazine: "Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. "(I) never really understood the weight of it. 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." Turner, 35, is best known for starring in the hit series Masters Of The Air alongside US actor Austin Butler, as well as playing Frank Churchill in 2020's Emma and Joe Rantz, the american rower, in The Boys In The Boat. Article continues below The singer added that she is "obsessed" with the custom ring Turner had made for her and that the couple do not have plans for the wedding yet. She 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 dreamed about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" "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." Months away from being 30, the singer added that she is the most confident she has ever felt. She said: "I turn 30 in August and I've been thinking about it a lot, because your 20s are just so tumultuous in the way you think about yourself and your body. And I don't know, now I feel like I've come to a place - I've become better at taking care of myself and working out and dancing. ‌ "I feel the most confident I've ever felt. I feel very empowered and strong in my body. I feel good when I'm sharing my energy with people on stage. "There's just so much of that that makes me really proud of my body and the way it holds me." The English-Albanian singer rose to fame with her 2016 hit Be The One followed by her 2017 break-up anthem, New Rules. ‌ Since then she has won several Brit Awards and three Grammys and headlined Glastonbury Festival last year shortly after the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism which hit number one on the UK albums chart. Her 2020 Future Nostalgia album also reached number one while her debut self-titled album, Dua Lipa, reached number three. She is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK.

Shakira says she's 'living in constant fear' as an immigrant in the US

Shakira has spoken out about the immigration situation in the US (Picture: Kevin Mazur Photography) Shakira has spoken out about the dark reality of living as an immigrant in Trump's America. The Colombian superstar, 48, is in the midst of a grueling tour, yet doesn't miss an opportunity to speak out on behalf of her community. 'I was only 19 when I moved to the U.S., like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future,' she says. 'It was precarious, challenging. But I wanted to break through.' That journey took her from Miami, where she learned English by poring over synonym dictionaries and Leonard Cohen poems, to the global stage. Yet, despite her success, she doesn't feel immune to the hostile rhetoric and shifting policies that have defined much of the U.S. immigration debate in recent years. 'It means living in constant fear,' she tells the BBC of being an immigrant in the US.'And it's painful to see.' The Colombian popstar has been vocal about supporting immigrants (Picture: JLN Photography/Shutterstock) Shakira said: 'It's not just about policy, it's about humanity' (Picture: Kevin Mazur/for Live Nation) 'It's not just about policy,' Shakira continues, 'It's about humanity. The treatment of people must always be humane.' Shakira's comments come at a time when immigration remains one of the most divisive issues in American politics. On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump frequently pledged to focus on deporting noncitizens accused of violent crimes. However, in recent weeks, his administration has intensified its efforts, aiming to boost daily arrests from around 660 to as many as 3,000 – sparking massive backlash from concerned citizens. To meet that goal, officials have broadened their approach, shifting focus from just individuals with criminal records to conducting large-scale raids on workplaces like farms and factories to detain undocumented migrants. According to reports, White House adviser Stephen Miller urged Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to 'just go out there and arrest illegal aliens' ahead of a recent operation in Los Angeles. As reported by Wall Street Journal, Miller allegedly told agents they no longer needed to rely on specific target lists of suspected undocumented immigrants, a departure from previous protocols, and instead should focus on sweeping business raids to maximize arrests. According to the Migration Policy Institute, there are more than 44million immigrants living in the U.S., with nearly 11m undocumented. Donald Trump's administration has cracked down on immigrants, separating families and causing widespread fear (Picture: AP) The vast majority are long-time residents, many with deep family and community ties who contribute meaningfully to society in a variety of ways. Yet, heightened enforcement and anti-immigrant rhetoric continue to create an atmosphere of uncertainty, fear, and terror. During Shakira's Grammy acceptance speech earlier this year – where she won Best Latin Pop Album – Shakira used her moment to speak directly to immigrants: 'You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you.' That message resonates with her fans, many of whom have followed her journey from Pies Descalzos to Acróstico. In Miami, her crowd spans generations, with mothers and daughters belting out lyrics together in Spanish. Despite her fears, Shakira remains hopeful: 'Now, more than ever, we have to remain united,' she says. 'Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices.' She isn't the only one to speak out against recent ICE raids, with Eva Longoria also making her opinion known. She said she 'kept crying' before composing a message to her fans. 'I don't want it to be about me and my emotions about it, but it is so inhumane, hard to watch, and hard to witness from afar,' she said. 'I can't believe it's happening all over the country. It's un-American. 'We all can agree nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country – that's not what's happening.'

I just hope that everybody has more compassion to this issue and realise we had industries dependant on immigrant labour. These are people who feed us and take care of us and our children, and our communities and we can't deny them as humans,' she said. 'These are hardworking people and they want to come here and work and provide for their families.' Saying she would 'continue to post and speak out', Eva went on to list of organisations that offered legal services to immigrants. Got a story?
