Dua Lipa is set to marry actor Callum Turner after he famously proposed during Christmas celebrations, sending waves of excitement through both the entertainment and music worlds. The news, first reported by The Sun, reveals the couple's deep bond and their plans to celebrate their engagement with family and friends as they usher in the New Year.
The engagement marks a significant turn for the 29-year-old singer, who has had a remarkable career and was recently named one of the most influential people globally. Her relationship with Turner, 34, blossomed amid rumors of romance first igniting in early January 2024, with the two seen together at various high-profile events.
According to close sources, Turner proposed to Lipa on December 25, getting down on one knee during an intimate family gathering. "Dua and Callum are so much in love and know it’s forever. They are engaged and couldn’t be happier. This past year has been one of the best years of Dua’s career, and this is the cherry on top," the source stated to The Sun.
The couple’s connection appears to have deepened since their public appearances, starting with their attendance at the after-party for the much-anticipated series Masters of the Air on January 10, 2024. Before their blossoming romance, Lipa had recently ended her previous relationship with French director Romain Gavras, which lasted less than a year. Now, Turner and Lipa are ecstatic about this new chapter.
Plans for their New Year’s celebration are already underway. The couple aims to organize more than just a party; they are envisioning it as the evening everyone will be talking about. "Dua and Callum are planning the most talked-about party this New Year's. They've found the perfect place in London and are working with event organizers to make it exceptional. Invitations have gone out to all their famous friends," the insider disclosed.
Guests expected at the engagement celebration include celebrity figures such as Bella Hadid, Harry Styles, and Emma Watson—fitting companions for their joyful occasion. Turner is reportedly taking on the role of host for the event, showcasing his support not only as Lipa’s partner but as her confidant and cheerleader.
The couple is known for keeping their relationship's details relatively private, but with such exciting news, it seems they are more than willing to share their joy with the world. Their engagement will undoubtedly raise their profiles even higher, especially for Lipa, who has enjoyed significant professional achievements over the past year with her latest album, Radical Optimism.
Though this latest album didn't achieve as much commercial success as her notable 2020 release Future Nostalgia, it still topped the UK charts and garnered acclaim from various critics, solidifying her status as one of pop's leading artists. Singles such as "Houdini," "Training Season," and "Illusion" have all made waves, with Lipa securing multiple awards for her artistry.
Within such celebratory circumstances, supporters of Lipa and Turner look forward to the celebrations to come. Insiders suggest their families and friends are equally thrilled about the couple's happiness. "Dua and Callum are very much in love and know it’s forever. They’re engaged and incredibly happy. It was truly amazing Christmas for them," emphasized another source, as cited by Daily Mail.
With Turner by her side, Lipa is entering not only this new phase of life but also reflecting on her substantial career growth. Their love story is likely to inspire many, proving how two stars can shine brighter together. Perhaps their upcoming celebrations may not just be about their engagement, but also their shared dreams for the future as they step forward hand-in-hand.
