Pop star Dua Lipa has confirmed she is engaged to Masters Of The Air actor Callum Turner.
The Grammy award-winning artist, known for her hit songs New Rules, One Kiss and Houdini, has reportedly been dating the actor since January 2024.
The 29-year old singer is currently performing around the world for her Radical Optimism tour, with upcoming performances at London's Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden in New York.
Fronting the July issue of British Vogue, she told the magazine: "Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting.
"(I) never really understood the weight of it. 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."
Turner, 35, is best known for starring in the hit series Masters Of The Air alongside US actor Austin Butler, as well as playing Frank Churchill in 2020's Emma and Joe Rantz, the american rower, in The Boys In The Boat.

The singer added that she is "obsessed" with the custom ring Turner had made for her and that the couple do not have plans for the wedding yet.
She said: "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 dreamed about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'"
"I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time - how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take.
"I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children."
Months away from being 30, the singer added that she is the most confident she has ever felt.
She said: "I turn 30 in August and I've been thinking about it a lot, because your 20s are just so tumultuous in the way you think about yourself and your body. And I don't know, now I feel like I've come to a place - I've become better at taking care of myself and working out and dancing.
"I feel the most confident I've ever felt. I feel very empowered and strong in my body. I feel good when I'm sharing my energy with people on stage.
"There's just so much of that that makes me really proud of my body and the way it holds me."
The English-Albanian singer rose to fame with her 2016 hit Be The One followed by her 2017 break-up anthem, New Rules.
Since then she has won several Brit Awards and three Grammys and headlined Glastonbury Festival last year shortly after the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism which hit number one on the UK albums chart.
Her 2020 Future Nostalgia album also reached number one while her debut self-titled album, Dua Lipa, reached number three.
She is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK.

The singer was recently named the most played artist across radio, TV and public places in the UK for a second time by music licensing company Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL).

While I Wait For That Zara Polka Dot Jacket To Return – Here's Other Windbreakers I Rate
Zara is killing it right now. It was only last week I was telling everyone about my quest to find that viral £50 satin lace cami dress, now, I'm frantically refreshing the site to find another item. This time, it's thepolka dot jacket that's been such a hit since launching a few days ago, it's already sold out online. But fear not, friends, as I'm here to tell you that there's still lots of sizes available in multiple stores around the UK. And while you can't buy it directly online from the link I'm about to share (sorry) you can use it to check if there's one in a store near you. If you're not keen for an IRL search, or simply can't face the thought of a queue, you'll also be pleased to know Zara head office have kindly let me know that it will be restocked very shortly. Vague, I know, and believe me, I wish I had an exact date and time it was dropping so I could add it to my basket before the other fashion girls do. 1. Zara Polka Dot Puffer Jacket Again, please don't be annoyed when you click on this link and see the dreaded 'out of stock' sign. Instead, be happy that you can use it for the 'check in-store availability' option where you'll be able to see if there's one to snap up near you IRL. We can basically thank Miu Miufor the revival of technical jackets. Seen on the spring/summer 2025 catwalk, fashion-meets-function zip-up styles were paired with everything from pleated skirts (as seen below) to bloomer micro shorts. And while I won't be wearing the latter, I am fully invested in these sporty jackets that work well juxtaposed with everyday pieces I already have in my wardrobe. Also, given the fact the weather forecast seems to be changing by the minute at the moment, I'm all for a light, throw-on-and-go layer that'll work for when it's hot, but unpredictable. And this is where the Zara style comes in. Not only is it in the print of the season (yes, there's no escaping all things spotty), it's also the perfect slightly oversized shape, and has a drawstring hem along with high funnel neck to keep out windy weather. PARIS, FRANCE - OCTOBER 01: A model walks the runway during the Miu Miu Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 01, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) When it comes to how to style this polka dot windbreakerjacket, fashion people have all agreed it looks best worn zipped up as a top. So this basically solves any getting ready woes on your way to work. I also love how Elena Lenaro (below) has taken on that unlikely outfit formula rule by teaming the zip-up jacket with shorts, heels and a fancy bag. Who knew a sporty jacket could work so well for a dinner date? But if you want to know another reason why everyone is going wild for this jacket, it's also due to the fact it's a co-ord– yes, that's right, you can also get matching polka dot shorts. And we all know the joy of a matching set is that they need little effort to look put together. See how Stacey (below) has worn hers on TikTok with knee-high flat boots? This is a key styling hack when knowing what to wear when it's hot but rainy. While I wait not-so-patiently for the Zara polka dot version to come back online, I wanted to show you some of the other windbreaker styles I rate. And yes, of course it includes that other viral £50 style from Uniqlo that's also selling out super quick. 2. Uniqlo Windproof Blouson Jacket While the off-white style has been most popular with fashion insiders (there's still a few sizes left online, FYI) the black, navy and olive green are also so classic. Water-resistant and wind-proof, it's the lightweight style you'll be grabbing as you leave the house every day from now on. 3. ASOS DESIGN Funnel Neck Sports Shirt Price: $62 Although listed as a shirt, I would say this is very much a jacket and shirt hybrid. The funnel neck and drawstring waist is very similar to the Zara viral style, but I love how it has smarter buttons and a more tailored fit. And it's in the key colours this season – butter yellow + chocolate brown. 4. Ganni Leopard Print Nylon Jacket A different kind of spot, this leopard print Ganni jacket is firmly on my wish list. I fully appreciate the oversized fit on this one, perfect for layering later on in the year. Leopard not your thing? You can also get it in black or khaki. 5. Lululemon Always Effortless Classic-Fit Jacket Quite literally designed for those in-betweeny weather days we've been having, this clever jacket has an air vent at the back so you don't get sweaty, a packable hood in case it rains (it's also water-resistant) and a drawstring waist so you can keep out the wind. Plus, it comes in six different colors – genius. 6. Carter Check Water Resistant Shell Jacket Polka dots not your vibe? Then try checks instead. Grunge '90s style plaid prints were all over the catwalks for spring/summer 2025, so try out the trend with this shell jacket. The water-resistant style will also be wind-proof thanks to the hood, adjustable waist and stretch cuff sleeves. 7. H&M Water-Repellant Popover Jacket Removing the need to have to do it up (I'm all for a lazy item) this pull-over style from H&M in butter yellow is so dreamy. Another wind-proof and water-resistant style, it also has a hood that packs in on itself and comes in another colour, light brown. H&M wins again. 8. Monki Windbreaker Nylon Jacket Made from recycled nylon, this brown jacket is such a nice alternative to classic black. That hood will come in so handy with an unexpected downpour and I love how it looks cinched at the waist with a mini skirt. 9. Moncler Valencay Jacket If you're fully invested in the practical jacket trend and want a style you can love for years, Moncler is the destination to find it. That doesn't mean it has to be your typical everyday colour, though, I've fallen for this blush pink water-resistant style that's made to be super light – ideal to take on the morning commute.

Justin Timberlake reveals secret health battle and confesses symptoms have been ‘relentlessly debilitating' on tour
JUSTIN Timberlake opened up about a 'relentlessly debilitating' health diagnosis after facing major backlash for his world tour performance. Timberlake shared a shocking health issue he's been dealing with amid criticism from fans that he appears "lazy" and "tired" on stage. 1 Justin Timberlake shared a shocking health diagnosis Credit: Getty Images - Getty The singer commemorated wrapping up the The Forget Tomorrow World Tour on July 30 with a lengthy post on Instagram. "This has been the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, grueling experience," the former NSYNC member said of his solo tour. "I could not have done it without my family, friends, The TN Kids, and all of YOUR support." Timberlake went on to reveal that he's been struggling with Lyme disease over the past couple of years. "Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don't say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes." Throughout the tour, the singer has been accused of "hardly singing," with many branding his performances "lazy." 'Justin Timberlake really thought he could do the bare minimum & get away with it?" one person posted on social media. In his post, Timberlake addressed his performance and the difficulties he experienced on stage. "When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure," he wrote. "But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness." Timberlake said the diagnosis forced him to decide whether to keep touring or to put a hold on all of his shows. "I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going," he reflected. The singer went on to say he is trying to be more transparent amid his diagnosis so others don't misinterpret his actions. "Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected," he wrote. "I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease, too." Timberlake concluded his post by thanking his friends, family, fans, and crew members for their support over the past two years. More to follow...

Hollywood A-Lister confesses he had sex on Disneyland ride - 'It was f***ed up'
The 40-year-old actor confessed that he had a rather X-rated ride on one of the family-friendly theme park's attractions in a recent podcast interview - and that wasn't all of it A famous face, known for his acting in a number of hit 2010s movies, appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and admitted to having sex at Disneyland. Dave Franco, fellow famous brother of James Franco and an actor who appeared in classic comedies such as Superbad, Bad Neighbors, and 21 Jump Street, has caused quite the stir with his recent confession. The film star sat down with host Alex Cooper on Wednesday and told tales about his mischievous past. During their candid chat, the two of them playfully discussed some of his most memorable wild moments. One of the times he mentioned was throwing candy at his middle school crush, and the unhinged night he first met his wife. In one particular segment named 'Confess or Text,' Dave revealed something that had Alex in complete shock. When asking the actor about the wildest place he'd ever had sex, he shared: "Um, something may have happened at one point on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland." The pair burst into fits of laughter, and Alex fell into laughter before he added: "The funny f****ed up thing about that is I think there are cameras on every inch of that place, but we were pretty covert... we'll leave it at that." Alex couldn't believe what she had just heard and told the Hollywood star she was "obsessed" with him, while he joked that his face had turned red. Dave officially started dating his wife, Alison Brie, back in 2012, after meeting at a New Orleans Mardi Gras party in 2011, and they were engaged three years later. They tied the knot in 2017, and as fans anticipated the two starting a family, Alison stated in an interview that same year that she does not want to have any children. The married couple shared the screen together in a recent horror film created by Michael Shanks, called Together. Neon Films shared a flirty snap of Dave and Allison kissing in front of a billboard of themselves as their on-screen couple, captioned, "the perfect date night horror movie.' Alison spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what it was like working with her husband—especially when it came to the intimacy side of things. She explained: "Both of us have done intimate scenes with other actors, of course, but without giving too much away, a lot of this film requires close proximity from its two leads to a greater extent than anything I've done before. "I think we pretty much finished every day of shooting and said to one another, "I don't know how you could make this movie without a real-life couple because of some of the situations we found ourselves in." However, it's not the first time the couple has found themselves in a bit of a sticky situation on set, as Dave had previously directed his wife in the movie Somebody I Used To Know. At the time of its release, Alison discussed what filming those sex scenes was like, clarifying that "we are actors, and this is our job." She added: "It's actually not that weird. And with something like this, because it's our baby that we made together, I think our first priority is always just the movie."
