As the first year of chart-topping pop sensation Dua Lipa’s relationship with her current boyfriend, actor Callum Turner, has been replete with PDA-packed moments, we break down their relationship timeline.
Lipa first sparked dating rumours with Turner in January 2024, when they were spotted cosying up at the the Los Angeles premiere of the latter’s Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air. The two have since been making headlines with their whirlwind romance, be it Callum accompanying the “Houdini” singer on her concert in India or the two casually strolling in Beverly Hills.
While Lipa’s previous steady relationships have been with model Anwar Hadid (2019-2021) and French film director Romain Gavras (2023), Turner has also rather seriously dated The Crown actor Vanessa Kirby (2015 to 2019).
That said, with one year of romantic getaways and PDA-packed public outings, the Albanian singer-songwriter and the British actor make one power couple to watch out for in Hollywood. On that note, here’s taking a closer look at Lipa and Turner’s relationship timeline, exploring the moments and milestones that have made their romance so compelling.
The complete relationship timeline of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner
11 January 2024: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner spark dating rumours
Speculation about Lipa and Callum began around January after TMZ released a clip of them slow dancing and seemingly kissing at the after-party for the LA premiere of Masters of the Air. The “New Rules” singer was likely at the event to support Turner, who plays Major John ‘Bucky’ Egan in the drama series alongside Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan, Sawyer Spielberg, and Lauren McQueen.
Later that week, the duo was seen leaving a Q&A event together at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California. Afterwards, they reportedly went on a dinner date at R+D Kitchen with some friends.
Just a few days later, the “IDGAF” singer and the actor went out for another dinner at Sushi Park in Los Angeles. In the pictures, Lipa was all smiles while Turner hugged her from behind and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.
It was also around the same time that Lipa, in a cover interview with Rolling Stone, talked about dating as a celebrity. She said, “I think overall, is just a little confusing. It’s either through friends of friends or people you trust where you can meet new people, because [dating] is not really so straightforward when you are, I guess, a public person.”
