Callum Turner and Dua Lipa: A Match Made in Entertainment Heaven
Engagement Sparks Joy in Hollywood
Big news is buzzing in the celebrity world! British actor and model Callum Turner is officially engaged to none other than Dua Lipa, the Grammy-winning pop icon and star of the recent Barbie flick. Rumblings about the couple’s relationship started heating up around December 2024 when Dua flaunted a dazzling diamond ring in her Christmas Eve Instagram snaps. Speculation was confirmed in British Vogue’s July 2025 interview when Dua gushed, "Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting.”
Callum, 35, proposed with a custom ring, crafted with insights from Dua’s sister and close friends, and the excitement is palpable as wedding plans loom on the horizon. Their romance ignited in early 2024, captured at an afterparty in Los Angeles, and they took their love public over Instagram in July 2024. Their red carpet debut? The star-studded Met Gala in May 2025.
From Model to Movie Star
Callum, a Chelsea native who launched his career as a model in 2010, has successfully transitioned to a thriving acting career. Starting with a Burberry campaign alongside stars like Emma Watson and Eddie Redmayne, he’s starred in major films including Emma (2020) and Fantastic Beasts (2018 & 2022). Most recently, he captivated audiences in George Clooney’s The Boys in the Boat (2023) and the WWII miniseries Masters of the Air.
Fun fact: Callum once earned the quirky nickname “Maguro man”—a playful moniker he acquired during his modeling stint in Japan due to his sushi-heavy diet!
Battling the Past: Addiction and Resilience
While Callum has enjoyed considerable success, he’s also been candid about his past struggles. He openly discussed his previous battle with marijuana addiction during a revealing 2020 interview. “I was a big stoner,” he admitted, reflecting on how he self-medicated with weed to cope with feelings of depression. But, demonstrating remarkable resilience, he found the strength to reclaim his life, determined to move past that chapter.
Love Life: Past Relationships
Before Dua, Callum was linked to The Crown star, Vanessa Kirby, with whom he shared a four-year romance before they parted ways in 2020. Their relationship, like many in Hollywood, ended due to the challenges of long-distance work commitments.
The Athlete’s Journey
Interestingly, Callum’s path wasn’t always set in the spotlight. He left school at 16, initially chasing dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Reflecting back, Callum candidly admits, “I was incredibly dedicated, I just wasn’t a footballer.” Struggling to accept this reality took nearly a decade, but it paved the way for his impactful career in the arts.
As Callum and Dua step into this new chapter, fans can’t help but feel the excitement surrounding their love story. With a dazzling engagement and an array of film projects underway, these two stars are sure to light up the entertainment world for years to come!
