Next Stay Close ✕ Lipa looked stunning in a polka dot bikini that perfectly complemented the sun-kissed setting, making waves - not just in the water, but across her legion of fans watching the couple from afar. The Amalfi Coast, a breathtaking stretch of coastline renowned for its dramatic cliffs and lush Mediterranean landscapes, offers an enviable backdrop for Lipa and Turner's getaway. This UNESCO World Heritage site is celebrated for its picturesque towns and culinary delights, attracting countless travellers each year, but none may be as captivating as this newly engaged duo. Amidst the scenic beauty, Lipa recently took to Instagram to celebrate her remarkable achievement of selling out five stadium shows in a row across various cities, including Liverpool, Dublin, London and Antwerp. "5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!," she exclaimed in a joyful post, marking the milestone with her friends and fiancé at a local pub. The candid photographs painted a picture of jubilation, capturing moments of laughter, dancing, and shared beers - celebrating success in the vibrant spirit that defines Lipa. Following her performance in Liverpool, the singer expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, "And through the downpour of an English summer, Liverpool, you were with me every step of the way! I love you, I love you, I love you!!!!' Her connection with her fans has been a driving force behind her success, as each show amplifies her devotion to the audience that has supported her journey. Lipa's engagement to Callum Turner was confirmed during a recent British Vogue interview, solidifying a relationship that has been the subject of speculation since December 2024, when the singer was first seen flaunting a stunning diamond ring. This summer getaway serves as not only a hideaway to celebrate her burgeoning career but also a romantic escape to enjoy their love amidst the buzz of her thriving tour.
