Dua Lipa’s Dating History: From Anwar Hadid to Callum Turner


Dua Lipa mostly keeps her remarks about her love life relegated to her music.

The “Don’t Start Now” singer has been linked to several fellow A-list stars over the years, from her longtime romance with Anwar Hadid to her rumored fling with Jack Harlow.

Her 2017 debut album Dua Lipa featured breakup songs like “IDGAF” and “New Rules,” while her Grammy-winning follow-up, Future Nostalgia, was rife with happy tracks about being in love seemingly inspired by her romance with Hadid, whom she dated from 2019 to 2021.

“I had to fight inner demons. I wanted to write songs that were more sad, more about heartbreak, because I thought that writing happy songs would turn into cheesy songs,” she told British Vogue. “I had to fight that because I was like, ‘I am happy. I deserve to be happy.’ ”

Lipa added, “I should be able to write about that without the fear of feeling like I’m compromising my authenticity because I’m not crying about something or someone.”

Most recently, after splitting with her boyfriend Romain Gavras in 2023, Lipa has been linked to actor Callum Turner.

From her long-term relationship with Hadid to her new romance with Turner, here’s a look at Dua Lipa’s dating history.


Lipa’s first public relationship was with British model and chef Isaac Carew. The couple met and began dating in 2015. They split amicably in February 2017, and later that year, Lipa began dating model and singer Paul Klein.

In May 2018, however, she and Carew were spotted leaving Soho House together in London, with Carew’s arm around Lipa’s shoulder.

Carew then joined Lipa and her parents at the Grammys in February 2019 and at the Met Gala that May. The couple had seemingly split for good in July, as Lipa was seen kissing Hadid at a music festival in London.


Lipa dated model and musician Paul Klein, the lead singer of LANY, for five months before they split in January 2018, per the Associated Press.

Though Lipa hasn’t spoken publicly about the relationship or breakup, Klein seemingly addressed their split on Instagram in July 2018, saying that he deleted Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) from his phone that January after his “heart got ripped right out of [his] f—ing chest.” He added that he was happy to be able to “make art out of really s— situations.”

Klein opened up more about the split in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in July 2018, recalling that he wrote his band’s entire album, Malibu Nights, within 50 days of the breakup.

“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.”

In August 2020, when asked if she listened to Malibu Nights, Lipa told SCMP, “I haven’t really heard it.”


Lipa’s longest public relationship so far has been with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Lipa and Hadid were first spotted getting cozy at Gigi’s birthday party in Malibu, California, in June 2019, then at a music festival in London early that July. They made their first public appearance together at the Marc Jacobs show in September during New York Fashion Week. That November, Lipa and Hadid made their official red carpet debut at the American Music Awards.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 saw Lipa and Hadid spending more time together while social distancing. That April, Lipa told PEOPLE that self-isolating brought her and Hadid closer than ever, literally and figuratively.

“It’s been really great — easy and fun and chill,” the singer 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 pair marked their first anniversary in June 2020 and adopted a puppy named Dexter together the following month. In January 2021, Lipa told Rolling Stone that she felt “very comfortable” in her relationship with Hadid. However, by the end of that year, they had split after two and a half years together.

“Dua and Anwar are currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart,” a source told PEOPLE in December 2021. “They’re figuring things out right now.”

Lipa later shared in a June 2022 cover story for Vogue that she was spending time being single and focusing on herself: “The next chapter of my life is about truly being good with being alone.”
