Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's Relationship Timeline

After dating for a little over a year, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner generated an array of headlines this summer when the pop star announced that the two were engaged. In the piece with British Vogue, the singer revealed more details about the couple's relationship, noting that they first met at The River Cafe in London after being introduced by the restaurant's cofounder. However, sparks didn't fly between the actor and the songwriter until they crossed paths at a Los Angeles restaurant months later. "We both just happened to be reading the same book," Dua told the magazine, adding that the fact made her feel like they were "one thousand percent" meant to be together.

While the duo may be taking the next step in their relationship, the pop star noted that they haven't rushed into wedding planning. "I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," she told British Vogue. "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?'" However, even though the pair may not have cemented their plans, it's clear that the milestone moment is important to both of them. "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," she said in the interview.
