NEED TO KNOW
Fresh off confirming their engagement, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are enjoying life as fiancés — but are not in any rush to head down the aisle.
“Dua is absolutely head over heels for Callum, and they’ve talked seriously about their future together, including marriage,” a source tells PEOPLE. “But they just recently got engaged and are still very much in that celebratory bubble. They haven’t even really begun the wedding planning process yet.”
Lipa confirmed the happy news amid her Radical Optimism Tour.

“Dua has always been super intentional with her decisions, and right now she’s laser focused on her tour and soaking up this really exciting time in her life,” the source adds. “She feels like everything is finally aligning both personally and professionally, and she doesn’t want to rush through such a major milestone. She wants to really enjoy the engagement, spend time planning something meaningful and make sure it feels like them. They’re both on the same page, and there’s no pressure, just love and excitement for what’s ahead.”
The engagement was recently confirmed by Lipa, 29, in her British Vogue cover story published earlier this month, following months of speculation after fans spotted a sparkling ring in a Christmas Eve Instagram post.
“Yeah, we’re engaged,” she told the magazine. “It’s very exciting.”
Lipa also revealed that Turner, 35, had the ring custom made with help from her sister and best friends. “I’m obsessed with it,” she said. “It’s so me. It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.”
As for what’s next, she admitted to the outlet that they haven’t made it to the planning stage just yet.
“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?’”
The couple, who have kept much of their relationship private, first crossed paths at London’s River Café, introduced by chef and owner Ruth Rogers. But it wasn’t until a dinner in Los Angeles months later — when they discovered they were both reading the novel Trust by Hernan Díaz — that sparks began to fly.
They were first romantically linked in early 2024 and went public in subtle fashion at an Apple TV+ afterparty in January. They later confirmed the romance on social media with cozy photos taken at Glastonbury and made a glamorous appearance at the 2025 Met Gala where fans once again noticed the ring.

Lipa is currently in the midst of her Radical Optimism world tour, which kicked off in Singapore and will run through the end of the year with stops across Europe, North America and beyond. Meanwhile, Turner is busy with his own projects, including his lead role in the sci-fi series Neuromancer and the 2025 film Atropia, which premiered at Sundance.
Despite their demanding schedules, the couple is “deeply connected,” the source says, and simply enjoying being engaged. “They’re taking things at their own pace and that’s exactly how they want it.”
