Updated Sep 03, 2025Unsurprisingly, Callum Turner and Dua Lipa's Meet-Cute Is Straight Out of a Rom-Com
Turner recently opened up about their romance amid their wedding planning journey.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are living in a real-life rom-com. As if their frequent vacation snaps weren't proof enough, the British actor recently opened up about his meet-cute with the pop star in an interview with the Sunday Times and, well, it's everything you'd imagine it to be. The moment occured when the A-listers met over drinks before a mutual friend's birthday party. "We sat next to each other and realized we were reading the same book, which is crazy," he told the outlet. "It's called Trust [by Hernán Díaz]." He told her that he just finished the first chapter, and the rest was history. "She looked at me and said, 'I just finished the first chapter, too,'" he recalled, and replied, "So we're on the same page."
After soft-launching their engagement on New Year's Eve in 2024, the singer confirmed the news in a June 2025 interview with British Vogue, saying, "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." She also revealed that Turner designed the ring after scheming with her best friends and sister. "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," Lipa added. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well." But for those who are anxiously awaiting Dua Lipa's wedding, you'll have wait a little bit longer. "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," Lipa replied when asked if they've started wedding planning. "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 Grammy-award-winning songstress has been quietly dating Turner since the beginning of 2024. After taking their relationship Instagram official in the spring, it's believed that the actor popped the question before the end of the year, right in the middle of proposal season.
