Putting a ring on it: Dua Lipa confirms engagement
Dua Lipa has confirmed that she's engaged to British actor Callum Turner, saying it's "a really special feeling".
The pop singer confirmed Turner popped the question with a custom piece of jewellery he had made with the advice of Lipa's sister Rina.
Lipa, 29, told the latest issue of Britain's Vogue magazine: "Yeah, we're engaged.
"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."
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.
"I want to finish my tour, 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?'"
The Dance the Night Away hitmaker is keen to have a family but admitted she doesn't know when would be a "good time" because of the demands of her pop career.
"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."

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen finalise their divorce
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce just a year after they announced their shock split to the world. The pair released a shared statement to their Instagram accounts on Friday where they told fans that they are 'proud' of everything they managed to achieve together as a couple during their marriage. 'Our divorce has now been finalised,' the exes both shared. 'We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.' Details regarding their finalised agreement remain unclear at this time. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce. Picture: Getty. The pair stunned the world last April when they announced their split on Instagram with a bizarre post. Source: Instagram/islafisher Earlier this year, reports emerged that the pair were 'at war' as they worked out the division of their £60 million (A$119,084,160) fortune. According to the Daily Mail, Fisher's candid remarks about their split in an interview with The Sunday Times had left her ex feeling 'utterly betrayed'. Speaking about how she'd gotten through the break-up, Fisher said: 'The women in my life have held me … the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. 'I'm sitting here today because of them. I've learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It's been this expansive learning curve,' she continued. During her deeply personal Times interview, Fisher also admitted that the divorce was 'the most difficult thing' she'd been through, and that she'd 'learnt so much' about herself in the process. 'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents,' she explained, adding that her parents had an amicable split when she was nine years old, and that was the 'blueprint' for her own situation. 'That's the dream,' Fisher told the publication. Reports emerged earlier this year that their split had become messy. Picture: Getty. Both Fisher and her British ex live in London, where they co-parent their three children. The pair first shared that they were ending their relationship after nearly 14 years of marriage last April. 'After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,' the two stars said in a joint statement at the time. 'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.' 'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy,' the message closed. The announcement came after reports had emerged they were living separate lives and had been asked to comment. Originally published as Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen finalise their divorce

Men jailed for stealing golden toilet from UK mansion
Two men who stole a golden toilet from an English mansion have been sentenced to more than two years in prison. The 18-carat fully functioning toilet was on display as a piece of contemporary art at Blenheim Palace - the country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born - when five burglars smashed a window and yanked it from its plumbing in a brazen early-morning raid in September 2019. It was never recovered and was believed to have been chopped up and sold. James Sheen, 40, a roofer who pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property was sentenced in Oxford Crown Court to four years in prison. Michael Jones, 39, who worked for Sheen and was convicted of burglary at trial, was sentenced to two years and three months. The toilet weighed 98kg and was worth more than its weight in gold, being insured for more than $US6 million ($A9.2 million). The toilet was part of a satirical commentary on consumer culture, titled America, by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan, whose work of a banana duct-taped to a wall was sold in 2024 for $US6.2 million at auction in New York. "This bold and brazen heist took no more than five-and-a-half minutes to complete," Judge Ian Pringle said in recounting the crime on Friday. "America has never been seen again." The piece that poked fun at excessive wealth had previously been on display at The Guggenheim Museum, in New York, which had offered the work to US President Donald Trump during his first term in office after he had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting. Jones had booked a viewing of the toilet the day before the theft to take photos, check out the lock and have his own private session on the golden throne. He deemed the experience "splendid" during his testimony. The next morning before dawn the gang of thieves crashed through the wooden gates of the palace in two stolen vehicles and tore well-tended lawns. They pulled up to the estate's courtyard and smashed a window that Jones had photographed the day before. The thieves used sledgehammers and a crowbar to wrench the toilet from its foundation, causing considerable damage to the 18th-century property, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture that draws thousands of visitors each year.

Pulp score first UK No.1 album in 27 years with More
British band Pulp has returned to the top of the UK album charts for the first time in 27 years as their new record More went to No.1. More was released last week just before the group, led by Jarvis Cocker, kicked off a UK and Ireland tour. It is Pulp's eighth studio album and their first since 2001's We Love Life. The band, from the British city of Sheffield, last topped the UK albums chart in 1998 with This Is Hardcore. The Official Charts Company said More also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. "The day an album is released to the public is a very special day," Cocker said in a statement on the album's release. "The music changes from being something owned only by the band to something that can be owned by anyone - it can become part of people's lives. It's magic." Pulp found fame in the mid-1990s Britpop wave with hits such as Common People, Disco 2000 and Help the Aged. They split in 2002 before reforming twice in subsequent years. More was recorded over three weeks in late 2024 and the band has previously said it was dedicated to late bassist Steve Mackey, who died in 2023. Mackey is credited as a songwriter on two of the album's songs. Pulp released the first single from the album, Spike Island, in April followed by Got to Have Love in May.
