Callum Turner opens up about Dua Lipa relationship secret

Callum Turner has said that he and his fiancée Dua Lipa live by the rule “it’s never not worth it” to travel long distances to see each other. The “One Kiss” singer is currently on the North America leg of the year-long world tour for her latest album Radical Optimism, while Turner is based in London. Turner, an actor best known for roles in Masters of the Air and the Fantastic Beasts film series, said that he and Lipa will visit each other on opposite sides of the world, even if it’s for two days at a time.

“FaceTime is a wonderful thing,” he told The Times. “And the other rule is that it’s never not worth it — that’s our slogan. If you can go for two days, just go.” He continued: “And if you’re tired, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to have a nice time and have a nice memory.” Turner said that he recently flew to Boston for two days to see Lipa, saying he was exhausted but “we had a really nice time”.

“We went to an incredible restaurant... It was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life and I did it with her so I’m glad I went,” he said.

Turner added that true love is about “moments and consistency”. He said: “It can’t be just one grand, sweeping thing. It’s all the little things and big things together, it’s an amalgamation, right? I think that’s what true love is.”

Earlier, in an interview with British Vogue, the “Levitating” Dua Lipa confirmed that they would be getting married. “Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting,” she said. Speaking about her engagement ring with the publication, Lipa said that Turner made sure to consult her best friends and sister before making the purchase. “I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me,” she said.

“It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.” The singer said they haven’t started planning their wedding quite yet, though.

“I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we’re just enjoying this period,” the singer continued. “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 said that prior to her own engagement, she never “really understood the weight of it,” but she now acknowledges how “special” the feeling is.

“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,” Lipa said.

The couple first sparked engagement rumors back in December 2024 when the singer made a festive Instagram post wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring. The “Houdini” singer and Fantastic Beasts actor had been dating for over a year at that point. In the post, Lipa beamed as she posed for a selfie in the back of a car with Turner. In another picture was a stack of jewelry boxes from Tiffany and Co. Prior to going public with her relationship, Lipa revealed during the promotion of her album Radical Optimism that she had to find her confidence again after previous relationships hadn’t worked out.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she said: “In terms of relationships, I needed to get to this place in order to find what I really needed. You have to be in the act of forgiveness and growing and learning, and being okay with the past in order to move on with what’s to come next.”

“I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well.”
