The rumors were as dazzling as the diamond—now it’s confirmed. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are officially engaged, marking a new chapter for pop’s reigning queen and one of Hollywood’s most compelling rising actors.
After months of quiet speculation, sparked by a not-so-subtle ring reveal on Instagram, Dua Lipa set the record straight in her July British Vogue cover story: “Yeah, we’re engaged.” And just like that, the internet’s favorite It couple became the real deal—on the record.
What makes this engagement buzz-worthy isn’t just the A-list pairing. It’s the beautifully understated way they’ve allowed their relationship to unfold, far from the usual spectacle. As Dua puts it, “It’s 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.

It turns out the engagement ring wasn’t just a fashion flex—it was deeply personal. Turner had it custom-made after consulting Dua’s inner circle, including her sister Rina and closest friends. “I’m obsessed with it,” she gushed. “It’s so me.”
As for wedding plans? Don’t expect save-the-dates just yet. Lipa is in the middle of her Radical Optimism world tour, while Turner is filming multiple projects—including Luca Guadagnino’s war satire Atropia and a high-stakes TV adaptation of sci-fi cult classic Neuromancer. The couple, both at the peak of their careers, are in no rush to tie the knot. “We’re just enjoying this period,” she said.
Their modern love story began at London’s River Café, thanks to cofounder Ruth Rogers. But the romance didn’t spark until fate brought them together again in L.A.—and surprisingly, over a shared favorite book. “Oh, it’s that really hot guy from The River Cafe,” Dua remembers thinking. A year later, both were reading Hernan Diaz’s Trust, and the connection clicked.
Fans had been connecting the dots since January 2024, when Dua attended the Masters of the Air after-party. A whirlwind of quiet public appearances followed: a Mexico getaway in March, a cozy moment captured at Glastonbury, and a heartfelt post-show kiss in October.
While Dua is gracing stages from Sydney to Madison Square Garden, Turner is cementing his status as a critical darling. Together, they’re the perfect fusion of global pop stardom and brooding film prestige.
This engagement isn’t just a relationship update—it’s a cultural moment. The era of high-profile, low-drama love stories is back, and Dua and Callum are leading the way.
