In a delightful revelation that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, Dua Lipa has officially confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner. The announcement came during an interview with British Vogue, where the 29-year-old pop sensation expressed her excitement with a simple yet heartfelt declaration: “Yes, we’re engaged.” This marks a significant milestone in their year-and-a-half-long relationship, which has been a topic of intrigue among fans since the singer was spotted wearing a striking diamond ring over the Christmas period.
The ring: a unique symbol of love
The engagement ring, a custom creation designed after consultations with Dua’s close circle, including her sister Rina, is a round diamond set on a thick cigar band. This choice stands out in the realm of celebrity jewelry, diverging from the traditional solitaire styles commonly seen in Hollywood. Dua has expressed her admiration for the ring, stating that it “looks just like her,” which she interprets as a testament to Callum’s understanding of her personality and preferences.
A partnership built on shared values
Beyond his role as an actor known for his performances in the Fantastic Beasts series and The Boys in the Boat, Callum is described by Dua as a true life partner. Their bond is characterized by shared interests, from music playlists featuring artists like Sade and Erykah Badu to a mutual commitment to maintaining a close relationship, with the couple ensuring they never spend more than two weeks apart. Dua reflects on this connection, stating, “This decision to grow old together, to be best friends forever… it’s a really special feeling.”
Future plans and reflections on family
While the couple is basking in the joy of their engagement, wedding planning is not yet on the horizon. Dua is currently focused on her Radical Optimism tour, which will conclude in Mexico this December, while Callum is busy with his acting commitments. When asked about her thoughts on marriage, Dua candidly shared, “I’ve never been one to dream of weddings. But now I find myself thinking, ‘What would I wear?'” This newfound contemplation of wedding attire signifies a shift in her perspective.
As for starting a family, Dua remains open yet realistic, stating, “I think it’s just one of those things that will happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there’s so much more to raising a child than just loving kids.” Approaching her 30th birthday in August, Dua exudes a sense of confidence and optimism, ready to embrace the future with her fiancé by her side.
