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."

This summer, the one-piece swimsuit isn't just for the pool Vogue Singapore
There was a time when the one-piece swimsuit felt more like a punishment than a wardrobe staple. In my teens, the wedgie-inducing cling of a Speedo Endurance swimsuit, paired with a claustrophobic rubber cap, was the dreaded uniform of mixed-gender swimming lessons at my secondary school. The heady scent of overchlorinated pools still lingers in those memories. Even as an adult, I've often found the one-piece slightly impractical for beach days: problematic when it comes to tan lines, too warm in the heat and sometimes difficult to slip in and out of. This summer, however, the one piece is no longer solely for swimming lanes in the public pool or sprawling out on a sun lounger. As versatile as it is flattering, the fashion set encourages you to wear your one-piece with pretty much anything. Net-A-Porter's fashion director Kay Barron is an advocate of incorporating swimwear into your summer rotation—even when there's no beach in sight. 'As with any piece in your wardrobe, finding the right swimsuit starts with fit, comfort and the level of support that your body needs,' she tells Vogue, pointing to brands like Staud and Nili Lotan, which offer swimwear with added underwire and extra coverage. It's no wonder this styling trick works. Usually made with spandex and double-lined for durability, swimsuits have a built-in, Skims-like compression designed to hold everything in place, no bra required. Perfect for heatwaves when the fewer layers, the better. Alexa Chung at a Miu Miu event in February. Darren Gerrish Cindy Bruna at the Victoria Beckham show in March. Getty Key styling references came from Miu Miu's spring/summer 2025 show, where models wore swimming costumes in bright red, sky blue, navy and hot pink, all with contrast hems and daring cut-outs. Worn with candy-coloured lacquered skirts, oversized blazers, pleated mid-length skirts, leg warmers and peep-toe pumps—a few with additional chain belts that slung low on the hips–the contrast was deliberate and playful, proving that a classic one-piece can be easily dressed up with the right separates and accessories. At Tory Burch's sports-inspired show, a swimsuit was bedecked with sequin embellishments and worn with tie-up tailored trousers and insignia ballet flats—offering a more refined take on the everyday trend. Meanwhile, the Zimmerman show opened with snippets from a '70s Aussie surf film, with the collection featuring plunging swimsuits styled with everything from floor-sweeping organza skirts to jorts and butter-yellow trench coats, later seen on Katie Holmes at fashion week. Chloé's swimming costumes, printed with floral blooms and flamingos, were practically destined for picnics in the park when styled with gathered bloomers or high-waisted flares and grown-up jelly shoes. But fear not, you don't have to spend a small fortune to get in on the trend. Beloved British-Indian designer Supriya Lele's new collection with Mango proved that beachwear can indeed be partywear, too. The line featured shimmering beach bags, sheer party dresses and a gathered cut-out swimsuit in blue high-shine fabric, which could be easily worn under the ruffled maxi skirt and styled with strappy sandals to create the ultimate summer look. Tory Burch spring/summer 2025. Zimmerman spring/summer 2025. London-based brand Fruity Booty, known for its cheeky prints and cutesy cuts, has seen customers wear its swimsuits in endless ways. 'With mini shorts, under loose-fitting shirts, cardis—even with tights, I think my favourite is with a pair of bloomers or a towelling skirt,' says Hattie Tennant, founder of the brand. Its one-piece offering includes a punchy leopard and playful polka dot print, which are as fitting in a festival field as they are by the beach. Another fan favourite is Hunza G. Its original crinkle one-size-fits-all swimsuits are a holiday staple for many, including Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Alexa Chung and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, but the sculpting seershucker fit also doubles for daily wear. 'I think everyone feels their best self in a Hunza G. It really does an amazing job of sculpting on the body whilst supporting you,' says founder Georgiana Huddart. At Coachella in April, Cara Delevingne styled the brand's best-selling swimsuit in metallic cocoa with high-waisted black shorts and an easy denim jacket. 'Swimsuits are so versatile now; they're not boring and standard. People get really playful with them when it comes to design details,' says Inge Kotze, founder of swimwear brand Away That Day. The brand's most popular piece, the Cannes one-piece, is perfectly plunging with a balconette neckline and two-tone colourway. 'It will take you from your morning coffee, to the beach, to the night club,' she continues. If, like me, you're still haunted by memories of awkward, ill-fitting swimsuits, this season's fresh take on the one-piece might be the reset you need. Whether it's something you already own or a new addition, the one-piece is the ultimate summer multi-tasker, taking you from the beach to brunch and everywhere in between. 1 / 4 Fruity Booty swimsuit, $157 Available at Fruity Booty. 2 / 4 Burberry swimsuit, $511 Available at Burberry. 3 / 4 Hunza G swimsuit, $304 Available at Mytheresa. 4 / 4 Away That Day swimsuit, $322 Available at Selfridges.
