Things have changed romantically for British actor Callum Turner and pop star Dua Lipa. As both of them have been dating since January 2024, as per Page Six, the Levitating hitmaker finally confirmed that she is engaged to the Masters of the Air actor. Lipa first confirmed the news of their engagement during an interview with British Vogue in April; however, the outlet published the interview on June 12, 2025.

While fans of both Callum Turner and Dua Lipa couldn't be more thrilled to learn about the amazing news, it seems the netizens want to know a bit more about the British actor. As the critically acclaimed actor and Grammy-winning singer are currently making headlines following their engagement news, people are curious about Turner's background and want to find out about his parents.

The BAFTA-nominated actor, Callum Turner, is not from a family of actors. He was raised by his mother, Rosemary Turner, who was a working-class single parent. Callum's mother, who once dreamed of becoming an actress, was a nightclub promoter and worked for places such as the Ministry of Sound. According to Callum Turner, his mother was the strictest of all mothers on their council estate in London. In a 2016 interview with The Times, the British actor shared that he received his natural talent from his mother.

The Boys in the Boat actor, Callum Turner, did not have a great relationship with his father while growing up, who was originally from Australia. It was his mother, Rosemary, who single-handedly took care of him. While talking about his mother during the 2016 interview with The Times, Callum said:

"She instilled this belief in me that if I wanted to do something, anything, I should go for it."

He further added:

"Although she was also always saying, 'Get a trade. Become a plumber'. And I’m like, 'No. I don’t want to be a plumber. I want to be a footballer.' I didn’t want the safe option. It’s nice to take risks."

However, now that Callum is a successful and well-established actor, his mother has no issues with his career choice.
