**Pop Sensation Dua Lipa Announces Engagement to Actor Callum Turner**
International chart-topper Dua Lipa has officially revealed her engagement to acclaimed British actor Callum Turner, confirming widespread speculation that began earlier this year. The news was shared during her candid interview as the cover star of British Vogue’s July issue, marking an exciting new chapter for the singer, who continues to make waves both musically and personally.
Dua Lipa, widely recognised for her major hits such as “New Rules”, “One Kiss”, and her recent dance anthem “Houdini”, has reportedly been dating Turner since January 2024. While the couple maintained a relatively private relationship in its early days, they have now chosen to speak publicly about their commitment, with Lipa expressing her joy about the engagement and the unique bond she shares with Turner.
Turner, aged 35, has made a name for himself through his performances in critically acclaimed projects. He shot to fame starring in the war drama series “Masters of the Air” and has been featured in notable films, including taking on the iconic role of Frank Churchill in the 2020 adaptation of “Emma” and portraying American Olympic rower Joe Rantz in “The Boys in the Boat”. Their engagement unites two high-profile figures from the worlds of music and film.
The 29-year-old songstress is currently crisscrossing the globe on her “Radical Optimism” tour, with forthcoming headline shows at renowned venues such as London’s Wembley Stadium and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Reflecting on her engagement, Lipa told British Vogue: “Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting.” She went on to share her feelings about the significance of the moment, saying she now appreciates “the weight of it”, describing the decision to “grow old together” as “a really special feeling”.
Lipa also revealed her adoration for the custom engagement ring Turner presented to her, calling herself “obsessed” with the piece. Despite the engagement, the couple is not rushing down the aisle. The singer explained that with her world tour ongoing and Turner deep in filming commitments, they are enjoying this period together. “I’ve never been the type to daydream about my wedding or what kind of bride I’d be. All of a sudden, I’m thinking, ‘Oh, what would I wear?’” Lipa remarked, capturing her mixture of excitement and surprise.
Looking to the future, Lipa admitted she would “love to have children” one day, but discussed her difficulty in pinpointing the perfect time to start a family due to her busy career. She acknowledged the complexities of balancing a demanding touring schedule with motherhood, adding, “I think it’s just one of those things that’s going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but there’s so much more to raising a child than just loving them.”
On the cusp of her 30th birthday this August, Lipa reflected on her journey so far. She noted that she now feels the most confident and comfortable in her own skin. “Your 20s are tumultuous with how you see yourself and your body. Now, I’m better at taking care of myself. I feel empowered and strong performing on stage,” she shared. The singer’s sense of pride in her achievements and personal growth shines through both her music and interviews.
Dua Lipa’s career trajectory has been remarkable. She first captured public attention with her 2016 track “Be The One” before catapulting to superstardom with the 2017 single “New Rules”. The English-Albanian artist has amassed multiple Brit Awards and three Grammys, and last year she headlined the iconic Glastonbury Festival, shortly after her third studio album “Radical Optimism” reached the top of the UK albums chart.
Notably, Lipa’s 2020 album “Future Nostalgia” also claimed the number-one spot, and her self-titled debut was a critical and commercial success. Her influence and popularity have been formally recognised as she became the youngest artist on this year’s Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List—a testament to her status as one of the UK’s most successful young musicians.
Further cementing her cultural impact, Dua Lipa was recently named the most played artist across UK radio, television, and public venues by Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), an accolade she has now achieved for a second time. As she continues to break records, both professionally and personally, Lipa is clearly entering a new era of optimism and self-assurance.
The full interview with Dua Lipa, featuring insights into both her professional projects and private life, appears in the July edition of British Vogue, available digitally and on newsstands from 17 June.
