Dua Lipa’s Complete Dating History

Dua Lipa has had quite a few public relationships with fellow musicians, models, actors, and even a director. But she keeps most of her comments about her love life to her music.

In an interview with British Vogue, Lipa shared a bit about her decisions around privacy. She was specifically discussing her relationship with Anwar Hadid, but her thoughts could easily be applied to most romances.

“We have all these incredible memories and experiences, and if there’s something that we want to share together, then OK that’s fun,” she said. “But at the same time, we’re quite private—we’ll only show you as much as we want you to see.”

She added, “It’s a little bit of give and take, trying to find the right balance of being so excited and being in love, and wanting to share that with the people around me, but at the same time not wanting to put too much out there. I want to be able to just be happy in this relationship without having other people’s opinions.”

Here’s a complete history of what Lipa has chosen to share over the years regarding her relationships, from Isaac Carew to her current boyfriend, Callum Turner.

Dua Lipa Is Ready For the Party On the Other Side

Lipa dated British model and chef Isaac Carew twice, first starting in 2015. They broke up, supposedly because of scheduling issues. But in May 2018, they were seen out again at Soho House together. He was her date at several high-profile events afterward, including the 2019 Grammys and the Met Gala that year.

However, scheduling issues reportedly led to their second breakup.

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.”

“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,” they added. “It’s been a difficult decision, but ultimately, they haven’t been able to make things work.”

In July 2019, Lipa was seen kissing Anwar Hadid in London at a music festival.

Model and musician Paul Klein is the lead singer of LANY. In January 2018, the couple broke up after five months of dating. A source told The Sun that they “had a really good time together,” but “things just didn’t work out.”

Soon after, Lipa was dating Carew again, though they ultimately split for good in 2019.

Klein took a break from social media the month he split with the singer, then wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram in July 2018 that his “heart got ripped right out of my f-cking chest and the internet was the last thing i needed.”

The post served as an announcement for his song “Thru These Tears.”

That same month in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, he said he wrote the entire album, Malibu Nights, within 50 days of breaking up with Lipa.

“I never felt a pain like that. I’m not trying to be dramatic here,” he said. “I think that was the first time I’ve ever been in love, and I never felt anything like that in my life.”

When asked about the album in an interview with SCMP, she said, “I haven’t really heard it.”

Anwar Hadid, the brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid, was one of Lipa’s longest public relationships. Rumors started circulating about them when they were spotted at Gigi’s birthday party in June that year and then again at a music festival in London that July.

In 2020, the couple quarantined together, and she told People it gave her a chance to get to know him better.

“It’s been really great—easy and fun and chill,” she said. “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.”

The couple paused their relationship in late 2021. A source told People, “Dua and Anwar are currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart. They’re figuring things out right now.”

A source confirmed to Us Weekly in December 2021 that they had officially split. In June 2022, she told Vogue that she was focusing on herself as a single lady, adding, “The next chapter of my life is about truly being good with being alone.”

It was briefly rumored that rapper Jack Harlow and Lipa were “hanging out” in December 2022, after they made an appearance at Variety’s Hitmakers brunch. It all started when Harlow released a song called “Dua Lipa,” rapping that he wants more than “a feature.”

In May 2022, Harlow said on The Breakfast Club that he got her approval before releasing the song so she wouldn’t “be blindsided by that or feel like creeped out or anything.”

“If she had said, ‘Yo, I hate it. I don’t want it to come out,’ it wouldn’t have come out,” he said. “She was like, ‘Oh, I mean it’s not my song. I suppose it’s okay.’ She was just kinda thrown off, and she just kinda let it go.”

They kept communicating, and Harlow allegedly was very intent on pursuing her. A source told Page Six that Harlow was “very interested in her and was going to strongly pursue [the romance]...he is going to do his best, as he has always been a fan of her.”

But a few months later, it seemed as though things fizzled out.

French director Romain Gavras was first linked to Lipa in February 2023, when they were seen leaving a BAFTAs afterparty in London together, according to Daily Mail.

In May, they made a big splash at the Cannes Film Festival, walking the red carpet together. They were photographed in London again in July, and he reportedly met her family over the summer when they celebrated his August birthday. But she has since deleted the Instagram post commemorating the moment.

In December 2023, a source told The Sun that the couple had parted ways after a fun summer together.

“Dua and Romain have gone their separate ways after a summer of love,” the source claimed. “She has blinkers on when it comes to her career, and the pair ended the relationship before things turned sour. Romain considered Dua to be a workaholic, but she doesn’t plan on slowing down for anything or anyone.”

In January 2024, Lipa was seen with actor Callum Turner at an after-party celebrating the premiere of Apple TV+ series Masters of Air. Footage shared by TMZ showed them seemingly getting close at Avra in Beverly Hills. A few days later, she had a more official date with him at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, where he was speaking at a Q&A.

“Callum is really the first serious relationship she’s had in the past few years,” a source told Us Weekly in March. “Dua and Callum spend almost all their time together and are nearly inseparable.”

The insider said they’ve traveled together and met each other’s families, adding that “the attraction is definitely there.”

Since then, the couple has become much more public, attending events together, including the April 2024 TIME100 gala, where Lipa was one of the night’s honorees.
