Dua Lipa has announced her engagement to British actor Callum Turner, calling the decision to grow old together “a really special feeling.”
Pop star Dua Lipa has confirmed that she is engaged to actor Callum Turner, revealing the news in an interview with British Vogue. The 29-year-old singer has been in a relationship with the 35-year-old London-born actor for nearly a year and a half.

Turner, best known for his roles in Fantastic Beasts, Masters of the Air, and his 2020 BAFTA-nominated performance in The Capture, reportedly had the engagement ring custom-made. According to Lipa, he consulted with her sister and close friends before having the ring designed.

“We’re just enjoying this period,” Lipa added. “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?’”
