She says they were introduced at a restaurant while she was having dinner with her dad, and he made a great impression.
She bumped into the Fantastic Beasts actor by chance a year later in LA, and she thought: "Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.
"We both just happened to be reading the same book".
Dua believes it was fate that brought them together, and reveals: "We're engaged. It's very exciting."

"All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'"
Shoppers stunned as pop megastar spotted buying groceries at the supermarket - would you have noticed her
Dua, who stuns on the cover of Vogue in satin lingerie, also opens up about her teenage years in North London.
From the age of 12 to 15 she lived in Kosovo, but her parents allowed her to return to London where she was born to pursue her dream of singing.
With the consent of her parents she lived in a flat with a family friend and attended secondary school.
But Dua failed her A Levels because she was always out clubbing around Camden, adding: "When I was young, trying to get into clubs was kind of easy because every bouncer was Albanian.
"All I needed to do was speak Albanian to the bouncer."
Her love of going out helped nurture her dreams: "My whole goal, with my show, is: 'I want to start people dancing and I want them to leave for home dancing.
"And I guess that is to do with my love of going out and bringing people together in that time."
Sources told
They said: 'Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever.
'They are engaged and couldn't be happier.
'Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake.
'Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them.'

Apple created eerily lifelike AI ‘video clone' of me in 20 seconds – can you tell which part of my body is totally fake?
APPLE created an eerily-realistic virtual clone of me using AI in a matter of seconds. I took a trip to the Apple Park HQ in California where I was able to make a brand new "Persona" – a lifelike simulation of my head and hands that I can use online. Advertisement 11 This isn't a grab from a real video of me – it's a still from a clip of my virtual Persona Credit: Sean Keach 11 The Apple-made Persona is a strikingly accurate rendering of my actual face Credit: Sean Keach 11 This is what The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach really looks like – seen visiting Apple Park HQ for the company's WWDC event in Cupertino, California It's meant to be used for making FaceTime calls or hanging out online while donning the After all, people I'm calling can't see my actual face because it's covered in a great big pair of goggles - so a Persona can mimic my movements instead. Personas have been around since the headset launched back in February 2024, but Apple has just given them a major upgrade to add way more detail in the new visionOS 26 update. And when Advertisement Read more on Apple MAKING A PERSONA Right now, the only way to create a Persona is with an Apple Vision Pro. That's an expensive "spatial computer" – effectively a mixed-reality headset for playing with apps that You start the process, remove the headset, spin it around, and let it scan your face. It'll make you blink, smile, and turn your head from side to side. Advertisement Most read in Phones & Gadgets And in a matter of seconds, you've got a virtual 3D rendering of your face created using AI tech that can mimic your movements while wearing the headset. It means if someone calls me up on video, they don't have to stare at a lifeless avatar – and can enjoy my lifelike Persona instead. Apples's big announcements from WWDC with a flurry new features for the gadgets you already own The new Persona is infinitely more realistic than the old one. When the new look was announced on stage during Apple's "Taking advantage of industry-leading volumetric rendering and machine learning technology, the all-new Personas now have striking expressivity and sharpness," Apple said.

Advertisement My colleague Jamie Harris reckons it's made me look a bit old – but I was pretty jet-lagged, so maybe my Persona was reflecting my tiredness. In any case, it's pretty much bang on. But if you look closely, there are two parts of me that are totally faked. The first is my glasses, which isn't a part of my body – so it doesn't really count. Advertisement Instead, you get to pick from a selection of 1,000 different glasses variants. The second part of me that was faked tongue. Yes, the tongue you see my sticking out in the video was not mine. 11 My Persona was a full "mapping" of my face – but the tongue was a total fake Credit: Sean Keach Advertisement 11 My glasses were also recreated by the Persona, as I wasn't wearing them during the scan Credit: Sean Keach 11 You're able to wave with your actual hands, and the headset cameras pick it up and render it on-screen Credit: Sean Keach I was curious to try it, as the headset didn't scan my tongue, so I wondered what would happen if I unleashed it in the name of journalism. And it turns out that the Apple Vision Pro fills in a vaguely appropriate human tongue. Advertisement It knows you're sticking out your tongue (and the other facial movements you're making) thanks to internal cameras on the headset. So you can grin with teeth or without, raise both eyebrows or just one, and shake your head from side to side. I'm totally in control of my Persona – the only "AI" involved is in creating the fake face, but the movements are my own.

They're totally tied to the Apple Vision Pro, which is financially out of reach for most people. Advertisement But this is a sign of things to come. Eventually, these types of headsets won't cost so much – and won't be as massive on your face. 11 Apple showed off a stunningly lifelike Persona during its presentation for the new feature Credit: Apple 11 The new Personas are far more lifelike than the old version (seen on the right) Credit: Apple Advertisement 11 Personas are meant to represent you on video calls when your actual face can't be filmed (because you're wearing a headset) Credit: Apple Just look at Meta's They don't have the same visual quality as an Apple Vision Pro, and they'll be wildly expensive, but they're basically only a little larger than a regular pair of glasses. You can imagine in the not-too-distant-future, these types of lifelike avatars will only become more important. Advertisement Think of a future where smartphones are increasingly less common as They'll be able to scan what you see, take pictures wherever you go, and let you make video calls beamed directly to your eyes. When we get to that point, tech like Personas will become an essential part of video calling. And if they look this good now, imagine how realistic they'll be in 10 years.
