Dua Lipa confirms engagement to Callum Turner
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 (24.12.24), 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.'

Brian Wilson 'went silent' and 'became detached' after battling COVID-19
Brian Wilson "went silent" and "became detached" as he battled the long-term effects of COVID-19, according to his bandmate Al Jardine. The Beach Boys legend passed away on Wednesday (11.06.25) at the age of 82 after a long battle with health issues and his close friend Al has now opened up about the "turning point" back in 2022 when he saw the singer/songwriter begin to deteriorate. Al told Variety: "There was no trauma to speak of until that very last tour in '22. He kind of went silent and began to suffer the effects of long-term COVID, I was told, so I think that was a turning point for him. He became detached." Brian also suffered mobility issues after undergoing several operations on his back and Al thinks being unable to move around properly affected his pal's mental health. He explained: "His infirmity must have been really depressing, not being able to walk again." However, Al is convinced Brian enjoyed his final tour despite his struggles before finally stepping out of the spotlight. He added: "He was with his adoptive family, and we all loved him, and he knew it, and he savored every moment. "Until he got on stage. And then he might decide: 'Well, I'm just gonna let them do it.' Who knows what was going through his mind, but he would check out on that last tour. "And that was hard work for him; he was fragile and tired and exhausted from probably that long-term COVID thing ... So, he became, on stage, not the entertainer that everyone thought they were coming to see." Brian's family confirmed the late star's passing earlier this week by posting a message on his official Instagram page. It read: "Our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. "We are at a loss for words right now. "Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love and Mercy." The Beach Boys added in a statement: "The world mourns a genius today, and we grieve for the loss of our cousin, our friend, and our partner in a great musical adventure. "Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys—he was the soul of our sound. "The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. "Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom—music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities. "We are heartbroken by his passing. We will continue to cherish the timeless music we made together and the joy he brought to millions over the decades. "And while we will miss him deeply, his legacy will live on through his songs and in our memories. Our hearts go out to Brian's family and his loved ones during this difficult time."

Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, appeared in Perth District Court on Friday.
