TAKING to the famous Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury festival tonight will be another huge high in Dua Lipa’s career.
But while she plays to a sea of faces among the 200,000 festival-goers at the Worthy Farm event, one special someone will be cheering her on from the wings.
The 28-year-old Houdini star has been dating British actor Callum Turner since January 2024 – and the pair are still going strong.
Pictured last week in New York, the loved up couple enjoyed some time off before her Glastonbury headliner.
The singer and the 34-year-old Londoner looked blissfully happy as they took a stroll around the Soho neighbourhood of New York before stopping to grab some ice cream.
They were first spotted together in January, at the Los Angeles premiere of the Steven Spielberg TV show Masters Of The Air, in which Callum stars.
And it seems the One Kiss singer has found happiness after a bumpy ride in the romantic stakes – from her bitter split with Gigi Hadid’s brother to a devastated ex who claimed his “heart was ripped out” when they split.
Before meeting Callum, Dua was getting over an eight-month relationship with Romain Garvas, a 42-year-old French director who previously dated Rita Ora.
The pair are believed to have met in 2022 and spent time together over Christmas and New Year but the romance became public when they were seen leaving a BAFTA afterparty in London in February 2023.
In March 2023, sources claimed that the singer and the French director had been “quietly getting to know each other for months”, and two months later Romain and Dua made their red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
“They have been enjoying spending time together,” the source continued. “Dua knows how important it is to find someone who understands her industry. She feels Romain totally gets it.”
However, the two ultimately called it quits on their relationship by the end of 2023, due to rumours of Gavras seeing Dua as a workaholic.
An insider told The Sun: “She has blinkers on when it comes to her career and the pair ended the relationship before things turned sour”
Neither Gavras nor Dua commented on the breakup.
What better way to woo a woman than to name a song after her?
In December 2022, the New Rules singer was rumoured to be in a brief relationship with What’s Poppin rapper Jack Harlow – after he approached her about his song, Dua Lipa.
The previous May, American star Jack told The Breakfast Club podcast how he had FaceTimed Dua to get her approval for his track Dua Lipa.
“She was like, ‘Oh, I mean it’s not my song. I suppose it’s OK.’ She was just kinda thrown off, and she just kinda let it go,” he said
Despite the awkward interaction, the pair reportedly hit it off when they met in person at the Variety Hitmakers Brunch in Los Angeles in November.
Sources told the outlet that the singers were in “constant communication” since and that Harlow flew to New York to meet her after her Z100 Jingle Ball appearance on Friday.
It’s unclear when they ended their short-lived romance.
Dua started dating the 21-year-old model Anwar Hadid, in June 2019, after they met through his sister, model Gigi.
She said that they first met at a BBQ, he asked her out on a date and things quickly started heating up.
They made their relationship red carpet official that November when Hadid accompanied the global pop sensation to the 47th annual American Music Awards.
They grew close during the Covid-19 pandemic, even adopting a puppy together.
“It’s been really great — easy and fun and chill,” she told People. “It’s been an absolute blast, and we’re learning so much more about each other.”
However, the couple split in December 2021.
An insider said at the time: “The couple floated the idea about putting the brakes on their romance last month as traveling so much and being apart is proving tough.
“Their relationship is going through a crisis and appears to be on the rocks.”
Dua’s relationship with Anwar was fiery and his public reaction to the breakup was equally dramatic.
He shared a series of troubling now-deleted Instagram Stories after his Dua went public with her relationship with director Romain.
“Trying not to find and kill him,” he wrote, followed by a smiley face, across one photo that showed him looking directly at the camera.
A second selfie, this time taken in a bathroom mirror, showed the 23-year-old smiling but was captioned: “I can’t breathe.”
The Dance The Night Away hitmaker dated Paul Klein, frontman of pop-rock band LANY, for about five months in 2017 before calling it quits in January 2018.
Dua and Paul reportedly got together after meeting at a British Summertime Gig in London’s Hyde Park and quickly began dating, spending Christmas 2017 with each other.
But the romance ended when Dua dumped Paul to get back together with her ex, Isaac Carew.
Paul appeared to reference their breakup in a July 2018 Instagram post, in which he explained his social media hiatus.
He wrote: “I deleted Insta and Twitter from my phone Jan 4th (because) my heart got ripped right out of my f***ing chest and the internet was the last thing I needed.”
Paul revealed that the heartbreak inspired his band’s album, Malibu Nights.
“I never felt a pain like that,” he said at the time. “I’m not trying to be dramatic here. I think that was the first time I’ve ever been in love, and I never felt anything like that in my life.”
The Barbie actress told SCMP in August 2020 that she had not “really heard” her ex’s album.

Dua was 23 when she started dating London chef and model Isaac Carew, 33, in 2015.
Carew revealed Dua’s love for cooking alongside her partner and Isaac praised her culinary skills.
“She too loves to cook — a match made in heaven,” he said.
“There’s this salmon dish that she makes … which is absolutely incredible. She’s a really good cook.”
They briefly split in 2017— during which time Dua started a romance with Paul — but in early 2018, they reconnected.
Shortly after their reconciliation, Carew sparked a cheating rumour as a result on a night out in a London club.
The chef was seen ‘dirty dancing’ with a friend in a London club, but Carew was quick to defend himself and clear his name.
“There was no kissing and I’m disappointed at myself for even dancing for a brief moment given the way it was portrayed,” he said.
“It was a loud club and I was talking to her in her ear. Don’t believe everything you see. We are very happy being back together.’
The couple dated for another 18 months before ultimately breaking up again in June 2019.
