Dua Lipa reveals huge personal news in Vogue: ‘It's very exciting'
Dua Lipa has confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner several months after sparking rumours he popped the big question.
In a new interview with British Vogue, the singer said that she is indeed engaged to the British actor and can't wait to marry him.
'Yes, we're engaged,' she told the magazine. 'It's very exciting.'
The 29-year-old went on to gush about her rumoured $US100,000 sparkler – the same one she has been wearing on her ring finger since December that had initially sparked the engagement rumours.
'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,' she said of the bold creation.
Just don't expect a wedding any time soon as the singer is still on her Radical Optimism Tour until December and Turner has projects of his own in the pipeline.
'Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she 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?''
In the candid interview, Lipa admitted she 'never really understood the weight' of marriage until now.
'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.
She also revealed that they hope to start a family 'one day', but the timing needs to be right for both of them.
'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,' she explained.
'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.'
It was back in December that The Sun first reported the engagement news.
'Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever. They are engaged and couldn't be happier,' a source close to the source told the publication at the time.
'Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake.'
The pair were first linked as a couple in January 2024 when they were spotted dancing the night away at his Masters of Air premiere afterparty in Los Angeles.
Months later, they were photographed engaging in some PDA during a trip to New York City.

‘$5 billion': Meghan Markle's next career move
COMMENT They say there are no new ideas, a problem that equally affects royalty and Hollywood. There have been eight King Henrys, eight Edwards, six Georges, 11 Fast & The Furiouses, and seven missions, impossible. Really, what chance did Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex ever have? The duchess has, by most stretches of the imagination, nearly everything – a princely husband, her very own lemon grove, is on a text name basis with Beyoncé – but originality? Not according to a new report. Just call her the Vin Diesel of vino. Meghan, according to the Daily Mail, is taking the natural step of expanding her As Ever product range from twee afternoon tea territory, 'another flower sprinkled morsel vicar? Oh what, they are getting down your cassock?', to happy hour. Cin cin and all that. The duchess is reportedly getting wine business, starting with a rosé and then moving into the harder stuff. A 'source close to the Sussexes' told the Mail: 'The rosé wine is only the first product in what she and Netflix hope will be a substantial alcohol range, which will include ready-made cocktails and luxury items like flower-infused gin.' If this comes to pass, the duchess will join the roster of Hollywood names who boast their own booze brands, a procession which is already longer than the waiting list to get into Chez Margaux or to source an entry level Labubu. Beating out all the Edwards and Toms are the number of stars who have already gone the same path. Kylie Minogue, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jon Bon Jovi, Lisa Vanderpump, John Legend and at one time, Brad Pitt all have rosés; Ryan Reynolds, Emma Watson, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre, and Brad Pitt again all make gin. Also, Buckingham Palace sells a home brand. If Meghan ever added tequila and vodka to her offering, she would be joining George Clooney, The Rock, Kendall Jenner, a Jonas brother, Dan Aykroyd, Kate Hudson, and Pitbull. Illustrious company indeed. There are two obvious conclusions to draw here: Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex's is going to have to learn how to correctly pronounce 'terroir' and Meghan has finally settled on a post-palace career. She's officially going the Full Kardashian. Over the last week, the duchess has made her direction of future career travel clear and seems to be throwing herself unashamedly, holus bolus, full-throttle into the influencing game. A video posted that is guaranteed to make a huge social media (and regular media) din? Sharing an oh-so-casual, wearing-Cartier-to-the-beach snap from what looks like a professional photo-shoot? Tagging a $300 billion corporate behemoth for no immediately clear reason? Let us review. A photo coming the closest yet to revealing her daughter Princess Lilibet's face. A video that no one can or will forget of the duchess, only hours away from giving birth, dropping it low. A shot of her frolicking in the surf with 'So excited for all the good to come! Running into the weekend like ��'. Sweety pie family moments that there is no obvious reason for putting out into the world. She's got the making of a natural-born Jenner yet. Take that twerking video, the only conceivable point of it being shared to do some light internet breaking. Meghan, the same source told the Mail, was 'very pleased' because it was 'a huge hit'. 'She and her team count it [the video] as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales.' Then came a deluge from Disneyland, with Meghan posting a video of 14 stills and clips edited together of her and Harry and their kids on rides, meeting Elsa from Frozen and of a plate of corn dogs shockingly devoid of anything that might bring joy. Meghan appears to have chosen. Of all the paths and routes and avenues the Duchess of Sussex could have decided to take her life after hanging up (if not ritually burning) her royal-required nude hose, it looks like the 43-year-old has settled on one. Hashtag blessed. Looking back over the last few years, there were points when it looked like the duchess might take herself off on altogether other trajectory. For the first couple of years after the Sussexes' transplanted to the United States, there were regular claims that the duchess was considering getting into politics. It made perfect sense: She was a serious person with serious ideas, access to Oprah Winfrey's cheque book and living in a state given to electing former Hollywood names to office. But at some point came a fork in the road: Continuing resolutions and policy position papers on corn subsidies were out; flower sprinkle-making fortunes and baking biscuits for daytime TV appearances was in. There is a certain inevitability, really. We have truly come full circle. It was in 2014 that the Duchess of Sussex launched her blog (remember those?) The Tig, only closing it when her future seemed to be in drizzly London. Fate and all that and here we are, the LA native having gone back to her entrepreneurial, internet-y roots. Also, money. Isn't it nice? There is way more cash to be made commercialising her exceptional good taste than having to vote on school district gerrymandering or some bill banning public funding for any school that exposes students to the terrifying woke agenda of The Cat In The Ha t. Globally the rosé industry is worth more than $5 billion. For a bit of compare and contrast. In the same 24-hours, there was Harry on Instagram doing his best normie dad bit while on the Prince and Princess of Wales' account, there were photos of Prince William was levelling up his statesman game delivering a major environmental speech in Monte Carlo. So what next for Meghan? A lip kit? A shapewear range? Designer blender spon-con? We can but wait. Ditto when (or even if) the thirsty, aperitivo-needing world will get their hands on a bottle of Meg-é. And in the meantime if anyone is feeling particularly desperate for a titled tipple, there is King Charles' Highgrove Estate's sparkling English rosé, a snip at only $72 a bottle.

Princess Diana wanted ‘super short' dresses after divorce
The late aristocrat's favourite designer, Jacques Azagury, has shared she had to be reined in from revealing too much leg and cleavage in the wake of her split from King Charles (then Prince Charles). Jacques told Hello! Magazine's A Right Royal Podcast he and Diana's butler convinced her not to wear micro minis "when she wanted to go super short on the skirts." "Paul Burrell, her butler, and myself would say, 'That's as short as you can go,'" Jacques claimed.
