From Anwar Hadid to Callum Turner: A look at Dua Lipa’s dating history

The New Love singer-songwriter reportedly met and started dating British chef/model Isaac Carew in 2015. However, the couple briefly split two years later. Following her breakup with Carew, Dua Lipa started her relationship with LANY frontman Paul Klein, which lasted five months and ended in January 2018.

The singer/model reportedly took a hiatus from social media after the split and opened up about the heartbreak during a conversation with Harper’s Bazaar in July 2018. Klein, who apparently wrote Malibu Nights within 50 days of the breakup, said,

“I never felt a pain like that. 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.”

After breaking up with Paul Klein, Lipa reconciled with Isaac Carew. According to People, the pair was seen together in May 2018. Dua and Isaac also attended the Grammys and Met Gala in 2019 but parted ways again. A source told The Sun,

“Dua and Isaac have really struggled to see each other since getting back together. They wanted to make things work and things were great between them for a while but she is just getting busier and busier.”

The source also added,

“She is gearing up to release new music and has basically been performing across the world non-stop for the past three years so it’s been tough. It’s been a difficult decision but ultimately they haven’t been able to make things work.”

Later in 2019, Dua Lipa attended Gigi Hadid’s birthday party and sparked dating speculations with her younger brother, Anwar. According to People, the rumored couple was seen getting close at the Malibu party. Anwar and Dua made multiple public appearances before making their red carpet debut at the American Music Awards in November that year.

In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple practiced social distancing at an Airbnb, Dua Lipa told People,

“It’s been really great — easy and fun and chill. We’ve been making the most of this because we got all this extra time that we weren’t expecting to just hang out. It’s been an absolute blast, and we’re learning so much more about each other.”

However, Dua and Anwar reportedly put a pause on their relationship in December 2021, according to People. They eventually parted ways the following year, per Us Weekly. The singer was next linked with Trevor Noah. In September 2022, Charli XCX appeared on the Dua Lipa: At Your Service podcast. Talking to her guest, Lipa cleared the air about the dating rumors and stated that 2022 was the first year she was not dating anyone.

In the same year, Dua’s relationship with Jack Harlow also ignited speculations after the rapper dropped a song titled after the singer’s name. Neither Harlow nor Lipa confirmed anything, as the Break My Heart artist started dating French filmmaker Romain Gavras. They made their red carpet debut in May 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival but broke up by the end of that year, according to People.

The reports of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s relationship started emerging in January 2024. The singer attended the premiere of Masters of Air and was later seen dancing with Turner at an afterparty, according to TMZ. After months of speculations, the pair went Instagram official in July and sparked engagement rumors around Christmas.

They made their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala in May, where Callum Turner was among the celebrities who wore Louis Vuitton. As mentioned, Dua Lipa confirmed their engagement in an interview with British Vogue in June.
