In June, Dua Lipa confirmed her engagement with Callum Turner. The couple, who began dating in January 2024, took their relationship to the next level over Christmas when the Masters of the Air actor popped the question to her with a customised ring which he made on the advice of her sister Rina and her friends. Now, the 35-year-old British actor opened up on how he met his fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Sharing details about their meet-cute, Callum revealed that he met Dua over drinks right before a mutual friend\u2019s birthday party in Los Angeles. \u201cWe sat next to each other and realised we were reading the same book, which is crazy,” the actor told The Sunday Times. The book that acted as a cupid for Callum and Dua was Hern\u00e1n D\u00edaz\u2019s Trust.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI had just finished the first chapter and I told her and she looked at me and said, \u2018I just finished the first chapter too.\u2019 I said, \u2018So we\u2019re on the same page.\u2019 ” Their first meeting, as described by Callum, turned out to be something straight out of a Hollywood film. \u201cIn the movie version of it, I look up to the sky and I\u2019m like, I hear you. I understand. The signs are loud, don\u2019t worry. And that was really the first [moment],” he added.<\/p>\n

At one point in the interview, Callum also talked about multiple instances where they missed meeting each other. He shared, \u201cWe had maybe two, three, four, five near misses over our time where we didn\u2019t meet. Mutual friends and places. There\u2019s one where she went to a party, and then I went to a party, but I arrived minutes after she left.”<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThere were loads of things like that, and then, when we were both able to, we were both single and whatever, I just thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world.”<\/p>\n

The duo was first linked in January last year, when they were spotted together after the London premiere of the actor\u2019s Masters of the Air. Later in the same month, they were spotted sharing a kiss during a date night in Los Angeles. In July 2024, Dua slyly confirmed her relationship with Callum when she posted a picture with him attending the Glastonbury Festival together. In December, the pair quietly got engaged. In May 2025, the pair even made their red carpet debut at the MET Gala. Dua, while speaking with British Vogue in June, confirmed, \u201cYeah, we\u2019re engaged. It\u2019s very exciting.”<\/p>\n
