'It's Very Exciting': Singer Dua Lipa Confirms Engagement With Actor Callum Turner

Hype Malaysia13-06-2025
After months of rumours and speculation, it has now been confirmed that Albanian-British superstar Dua Lipa is engaged to her boyfriend, now fiancé, actor Callum Turner. The singer has been spotted wearing what appears to be an engagement ring since earlier this year, but has never addressed the status of her relationship with the 'Fantastic Beasts' star.
During a recent interview with British VOGUE, the 29-year-old got candid about her engagement and when she and her husband-to-be are planning to officially tie the knot. Here's what she said:
In the interview published yesterday (Thursday, 12th June), Dua Lipa opened up about touring the world and how excited she is to perform at Wembley Stadium, a show that sold out in minutes. 'That's definitely been a massive dream, and it's going to be quite surreal. You know, stadiums — that seems pretty scary,' she said.
Beyond her career, the singer also spoke about how important family is to her. She expressed gratitude to her loved ones for supporting her dreams throughout her life, and shared how accepting they have been of Callum Turner. When asked about the marriage rumours, especially since she's been spotted with the big ring on her finger, the 'Levitating' artist finally confirmed: 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting. 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.'
However, the couple have yet to discuss a wedding date and location, with Dua saying she wants to focus on completing her tour first. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. 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 stated.
There's really no rush, so for now, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are simply enjoying their engagement and focusing on their respective careers. Still, we'll be looking forward to those wedding photos when the time comes. Congratulations to the happy couple!

BBC to stop showing ‘high-risk' acts live after Bob Vylan row

LONDON: The BBC said Thursday it would no longer live-broadcast musical performances deemed 'high risk' following controversy over the behaviour of punk-rap duo Bob Vylan during their Glastonbury set. The British broadcaster has attracted criticism for having failed to pull a livestream of the performance after its frontman made anti-Israel comments at the festival in southwest England last week. British police said Monday they were launching a criminal investigation into the remarks made by Bob Vylan at the festival in southwestern England. British and other politicians condemned London-based duo Bob Vylan, who often tackle racism in their tracks, after they led the crowds in chants of 'Death to the IDF' -- the Israeli military. 'We fully understand the strength of feeling regarding Bob Vylan's live appearance at Glastonbury on the BBC,' the broadcaster said in its latest statement. 'Errors were made both in the lead-up to and during' the appearance, it admitted. 'We are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast,' while setting out some immediate changes to the streaming of music events, the BBC added. 'Any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live,' the statement said. – AFP

What's next for Sean 'Diddy' Combs after his sex trafficking trial?

Defense lawyers comfort Sean "Diddy" Combs while discussing how to handle a note sent by jurors that they had reached a verdict on four of the five counts against him, during Combs' sex trafficking trial in New York City, New York, U.S., July 1, 2025, in this courtroom sketch. REUTERS/Jane Rosenberg NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean "Diddy" Combs was found guilty on Wednesday of prostitution-related offenses but cleared of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Combs, 55, had pleaded not guilty to all five felony counts he faced. Here's what's expected to come next in the case: COMBS REMAINS JAILED FOR NOW U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs' request to be released from federal lockup in Brooklyn until sentencing, given the evidence presented at trial of violent acts Combs had committed. "It is impossible for the defendant to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that he poses no danger," Subramanian said. SENTENCING Subramanian suggested sentencing Combs on October 3, but said he would entertain a defense request for an earlier date. Combs faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence on each of the two prostitution counts. Prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing that federal sentencing guidelines appeared to recommend a sentence of at most 5-1/4 years total, well below the statutory maximum. Combs' lawyers argued that two years would be the outer limit. APPEAL After Combs' sentencing, his lawyers may file an appeal of both his conviction and his sentence. To succeed on appeal, the defense faces the high burden of convincingthe 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Subramanian made legal errors that impacted the jury's verdict. Any appeal may take years to play out. For example, the 2nd Circuit upheld the sex trafficking conviction and 20-year prison sentence of British socialiteGhislaine Maxwell on September 17, 2024, nearly three years after her conviction. CIVIL LAWSUITS Rhythm and blues singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, a star prosecution witness, sued Combs in November 2023 for sex trafficking, the first of dozens of civil lawsuits accusing him of abuse. Combs settled with Ventura for $20 million, but many others are unresolved. Combs has denied all wrongdoing.

Motor racing-Piastri slows down off-track to go faster on it

Formula One F1 - McLaren event in London - Trafalgar Square, London, Britain - July 2, 2025 McLaren's Oscar Piastri during an interview at the McLaren event in Trafalgar Square Action Images via Reuters/Peter Cziborra LONDON (Reuters) -Slowing down may be the way to go faster for Oscar Piastri as the McLaren driver seeks to become the first Australian since Alan Jones in 1980 to conquer the Formula One world championship. The 24-year-old leads British teammate Lando Norris by 15 points, and five wins to three, as the season reaches halfway at Silverstone this weekend. The Australian is the only driver to have scored in every grand prix and remains remarkably chilled despite the pressure of a two-horse title battle that looks set to become ever more intense. Speaking to Reuters at a McLaren fan event, full of noise and excitement, in London's Trafalgar Square on Wednesday, Piastri said it was important mentally to know when to switch off and slow down. "I kind of know my limits. And know when I need to get away from F1 and do something else," he said. "It's the little things in life. Our season's so busy that ultimately you just want to go and do normal things. "Spend time with the people around you. Sit on the couch for a few hours. Just regular things. Go for a walk. Just slow down in life, really. And that's, for me, what I find important away from racing. "I don't have that many hobbies outside of F1, let's say. I ultimately got into racing because it was my hobby at the start and now it's my job. So it's still a passion of mine. "So when I'm not racing, I just like to do very, very wholesome things in life." HIGH STAKES On track, both he and Norris know what is at stake. Piastri felt they were managing to keep a lid on things, despite wheel-to-wheel racing, a collision and some near misses in recent races. "We're going about it in the best way that we can ... Lando and I get on well," said Piastri. "We've worked together really well for the last three years. "But obviously when the helmet goes on and we're on track, we're both trying to beat each other." Piastri said he still had things to work on -- and not just how to accommodate the growing number of trophies in his small Monaco apartment -- but had "a good handle on things" and his consistency had gone up a level. He was learning how to pick the right moves, pick the right strategy and not give away points. "I've never been in an F1 championship battle, but I've been in numerous championship battles in my junior career. I know what has worked for me in those championships, what hasn't worked," he said. "Not all of those junior championships were won with the same strengths or same weaknesses." Norris has his own 'Landostand' with 10,000 full-on fans at Stowe Corner for the race at Silverstone -- and Piastri said he was looking forward to giving them a wave when he went past. Just how cheeky that may be depends on the outcome on Sunday but the Australian fully intends to be the one on the top step of the podium. "I'm sure I'll wave to everyone," he said, grinning. "As long as they're waving back and not giving me the finger, then that's OK. "I'm sure they want a British driver to win. I kind of know which one, probably, but I think I would get an OK reception if I won as well. So I'll try my best to make that happen." (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Ken Ferris)
