Dua Lipa Confirms Engagement to Callum Turner, Says She's "Obsessed" with the Ring
Yara Sameh Dua Lipa has confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner, saying it's "a really special feeling. Lipa, 29, Turner, 35, have been together for almost a year and a half. Thr actor is best known for roles in "Fantastic Beasts", and "Masters of the Air", and was Bafta nominated in 2020 for BBC One's "The Capture". "Yeah, we're engaged," she told British Vogue . "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,". She added that her engagement ring was made after Turner consulted her best friends and her sister. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," Lipa noted. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' For now, the couple haven't started wedding planning just yet, just savoring the moment and enjoying their engagement. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," the singer said. "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?' '. It wasn't until the "One Love" singer got engaged herself that she "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," she said. Lipa and Turner sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were first spotted together at the Masters of Air afterparty following its London premiere. Turner, who stars in the Apple TV+ drama series, was captured in a video slow dancing with Lipa. Since then, the couple has maintained a low profile but have still been seen with one another on various occasions, including dinner and industry events. The two made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024 after the Grammy winner snuck in two sweet pics with her beau in a carousel from the 2024 Glastonbury Festival, where she performed. In one image, Turner was seen kissing the singer's head with his arm around her shoulders, while another showed the couple engaged in a lively chat while laying on the ground. Lipa and Turner rang in the new year with a celebratory kiss, a photo of which was included in an Instagram carousel posted by the singer. "Danced our way into the new year!!! HELLO 2025!!!!," Lipa captioned. "Only took me a couple days to resurrect blaaaady ellllll but here we areeee." On Christmas Eve, Lipa ignited speculation over whether or not the couple had gotten engaged after she shared photos of herself on Instagram wearing a diamond ring on her lefthand ring finger. While posting photos at Paris Fashion Week on January 28, the pop star hid her left hand underneath her dramatic cape. Lipa didn't completely conceal her ring, however, as her gold band was caught when she removed her cape and posed for cameras outside the show, and was spotted in one of the photos she shared on Instagram . Lipa has continued to post photos of her rocking the ring in loved-up posts with Turner and has been seen wearing it onstage in Europe while performing her Radical Optimism Tour. Lipa and Turner made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 Met Gala in May. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
