'It's Very Exciting': Singer Dua Lipa Confirms Engagement With Actor Callum Turner
After months of rumours and speculation, it has now been confirmed that Albanian-British superstar Dua Lipa is engaged to her boyfriend, now fiancé, actor Callum Turner. The singer has been spotted wearing what appears to be an engagement ring since earlier this year, but has never addressed the status of her relationship with the 'Fantastic Beasts' star.
During a recent interview with British VOGUE, the 29-year-old got candid about her engagement and when she and her husband-to-be are planning to officially tie the knot. Here's what she said:
In the interview published yesterday (Thursday, 12th June), Dua Lipa opened up about touring the world and how excited she is to perform at Wembley Stadium, a show that sold out in minutes. 'That's definitely been a massive dream, and it's going to be quite surreal. You know, stadiums — that seems pretty scary,' she said.
Beyond her career, the singer also spoke about how important family is to her. She expressed gratitude to her loved ones for supporting her dreams throughout her life, and shared how accepting they have been of Callum Turner. When asked about the marriage rumours, especially since she's been spotted with the big ring on her finger, the 'Levitating' artist finally confirmed: 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling.'
However, the couple have yet to discuss a wedding date and location, with Dua saying she wants to focus on completing her tour first. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' she stated.
There's really no rush, so for now, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are simply enjoying their engagement and focusing on their respective careers. Still, we'll be looking forward to those wedding photos when the time comes. Congratulations to the happy couple!

The Boss vs The Donald
THEY have some similarities, Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump – guys in their 70s with homes in New Jersey and big constituencies among white American men middle-aged and older. And both, in very different respects, are the boss. That's about where it ends. The veteran rock star, long a political opponent of the US president, stood up as one of Trump's most prominent cultural critics last month with a verbal takedown from a British stage. As is his nature, Trump fought back – hard. He called Springsteen a 'dried out prune of a rocker' and even brought Beyonce into the fray. The president suggested that Springsteen and Beyonce should be investigated to see if appearances they made on behalf of his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, last fall represented an illegal campaign donation. Opening a tour in Manchester, England, Springsteen told his audience that 'the America I love, the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.' He added, 'Tonight we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.' Trump boarding Air Force One as he departs for Michigan to attend a rally. — Reuters Springsteen later made reference to an 'unfit president and a rogue government' who have 'no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American'. The next morning, Trump called Springsteen highly overrated. 'Never liked him, never liked his music or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy – just a pushy, obnoxious JERK,' he wrote on social media. 'This dried out prune of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back in the Country,' he said. The next night, also in Manchester, Springsteen repeated his criticisms. 'It's no surprise what Springsteen's political leanings are and have been for many decades,' said veteran music writer Alan Light, author of the upcoming Don't Stop: Why We (Still) Love Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. 'He's somebody who has been outspoken in his music and his actions.' The Boss' statements showed that he wasn't afraid to speak out 'at a time when so many people and institutions are just kind of rolling over,' Light said. Canadian-American rocker Neil Young weighed in on his website on behalf of Springsteen under the headline 'TRUMP!!!' 'What are you worryin about man?' he said. 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza. That's your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us.' He added: 'Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce. You know how I feel. You are worried more about yourself than AMERICA.' It's not the first time Springsteen has spoken out against Trump – or a Republican president. When former President Ronald Reagan referenced Springsteen's 'message of hope' at a campaign stop during the height of the rocker's Born in the USA popularity, Springsteen wondered if Reagan had listened to his music and its references to those left behind in the 1980s economy. Springsteen also has had an occasionally bumpy relationship with one-time Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a fan of his music. Springsteen has campaigned for Trump's opponents, including Harris last fall. In 2020, he said that 'a good portion of our fine country, to my eye, has been thoroughly hypnotised, brainwashed by a con man from Queens.' He knows the outer-borough reference still stung a man who built his own tower in Manhattan and ascended to the presidency. Trump often stays at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Springsteen grew up in New Jersey – you may have heard – and lives in Colts Neck, New Jersey, now. Trump doesn't hesitate to go after the biggest musical names that speak out against him, like Beyonce and Swift. But the political risk may be less; their younger, more female audiences are less likely to intersect with Trump's core constituency. During his career, Springsteen has challenged his audience politically beyond presidential endorsements. The 1995 album The Ghost of Tom Joad bluntly documented the lives of struggling immigrants – Mexican and Vietnamese among them. And his 2001 song American Skin (41 Shots), criticised the shooting by New York City police officers of an unarmed Guinean immigrant named Amadou Diallo, angering some of the blue-collar segments of his fan base. Clearly, Springsteen has conservative fans and some who wish he'd steer clear of politics, Light said. Still, '40 years later, it's hard to imagine what they think would happen' with Trump, he said. While Trump made a point to reference Springsteen's criticism in an overseas show, the singer and his E Street Band haven't performed in the United States since before the 2024 election. — AP
