Of her ring, she added: "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well."
However, the couple - who began dating in January 2024 - have yet to set a wedding date because of their busy work schedules.
"I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," she said.
"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?'"
The Dance the Night Away hitmaker is keen to have a family but admitted she doesn't know when would be a "good time" because of the demands of her pop career.
"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."

'This is a full-scale takeover': Why the $10 million wedding of Apple heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympian Harry Charles has sparked a full village lockdown in rural Oxfordshire
A picturesque English village has gone into virtual lockdown as preparations ramp up for one of the year's most extravagant weddings between billionaire heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympic showjumper Harry Charles. The bride, 27, is none other than the youngest daughter of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and American philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs. She and Charles, 26, are celebrating their nuptials with a jaw-dropping four-day affair in the heart of the Cotswolds, reportedly costing more than £5 million (A$10.3 million). Locals say the entire area around the exclusive Estelle Manor country hotel, formerly Eynsham Hall, has been effectively shut down as security teams, helicopters, and convoys of blacked-out SUVs descend on the usually quiet Oxfordshire village. "This is a full-scale takeover of the high-end venues in the Cotswolds for a huge event… there are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend," one resident told MailOnline. Another source described the occasion to The Sun as being "planned like a military operation," adding, "It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. "The sleepy village feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI." The star-studded guest list includes politicians, royals, celebrities and elite athletes from both the UK and the US. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris, who shares a close friendship with Powell Jobs, is expected to attend, along with her daughter Phoebe. Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates is also reportedly on the list. Sir Elton John is set to headline the entertainment, with a performance fee believed to be in the ballpark of $2 million for a one-hour set. Guests are reportedly arriving by private jet to Oxford Airport, before being whisked to the venue by helicopter. Also tipped to attend are Princess Beatrice, Apple design guru Jony Ive, equestrian Jessica Springsteen, daughter of Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, and Sofia Abramovich, the daughter of former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. Behind the scenes, the Jobs family has enlisted top-tier event planner Stanlee Gatti, known for his work on Christy Turlington's 2003 wedding and Ivy Getty's extravagant 2021 nuptials—to ensure every detail is perfect. Powell Jobs, also shares son Reed, 33, and daughter Erin, 29, with the late Steve Jobs, who died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer at age 56. It's not known whether Eve's half-sister Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend. Eve and Harry began dating in 2022 and made their relationship public at the Paris Olympics last year, where Eve was spotted cheering him on at Versailles. Harry, the son of 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, followed in his father's footsteps and made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Games in 2020 before securing gold in Paris. The couple reportedly bonded over their shared love of horses. Eve, a champion equestrian in her own right, has competed internationally and took home a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru. That same year, she was ranked fifth among the world's top under-25 riders. After graduating from Stanford with a degree in science, technology and society, Eve turned her attention to modelling. She made her runway debut for Coperni at Paris Fashion Week in 2021 and has since graced the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and fronted campaigns for Louis Vuitton. She was also named one of Tatler's "new generation of It Girls" in 2022.

'The pain remains': Aussie music legend Nick Cave shares powerful reflection on grief, 10 years after the death of his teenage son Arthur
Nick Cave has shared a poignant letter in reflection of losing his teenage son, Arthur, after he tragically fell from a cliff and died in 2015. The legendary Australian musician, 67, responded to fan questions on his website The Red Hand Files, where he regularly shares intimate letters on life, death and creativity. In his latest post, Cave addressed two questions from readers: one from Carlos in Brazil, who asked what he and his wife, British fashion designer Susie Bick, had learned since Arthur's death, and another from Emma in Melbourne, who asked whether the pain ever goes away. "The pain remains," Cave admitted. "But I have found that it evolves over time. Grief blossoms with age, becoming less a personal affront, less a cosmic betrayal, and more a poetic quality of being as we learn to surrender to it." He continued: "As we are confronted with the intolerable injustice of death, what seems unbearable ultimately turns out not to be unbearable at all. Sorrow grows richer, deeper, and more textured. It feels more interesting, creative, and lovely." Arthur died on July 16, 2015 at age 15, after falling from a cliff in Brighton, England. A coroner later ruled the death was accidental, with an inquest revealing Arthur had taken LSD with a friend before becoming disoriented and falling. Despite the tragic circumstances, Cave said the experience taught him something surprising. "I discovered through Arthur's death that I was part of a common human story," he wrote. "I began to recognise the immense value and potential of our humanness while simultaneously acknowledging, at my core, our terrifyingly perilous situation. I learned we all actually die." The Warracknabeal-born star also described how he and Susie, 58, eventually came to see the world differently. "The world is not indifferent or cruel, but precious and loving- indeed, lovely- tilting ever toward good," he wrote. He said that sorrow had become a way of life. "Part laughter, part tears, with very little space between," he said. Arthur and his twin brother Earl were born in 2000 in Brighton. In a statement after the inquest, the Cave family said they were "overwhelmed" by the support they received. "Arthur was a wonderfully unruly, creative and free-spirited young man with an infectious, happy, funny daredevil nature," it read. "He loved his friends and family, idolised his twin brother Earl and was never far from his side." The family relocated after Arthur's death, first to Los Angeles and later to London, with Cave saying Brighton had become "too sad". However, Arthur's death is not the only loss Cave has endured. In 2022, his eldest son, model and actor Jethro Lazenby, whom he shared with Australian model Beau Lazenby, died at age 31. His cause of death was not disclosed. In a 2024 interview with Leigh Sales for Australian Story, Cave admitted that these experiences profoundly shifted his outlook. "Prior to their deaths, I was in awe of my own genius," he said. "I just saw the folly of that… disgraceful sort of self-indulgence. I'm a father and I'm a husband and a grandfather and a kind of person of the world. These things are much more important to me than the concept of being an artist." Cave said The Red Hand Files became a lifeline during his grief. "The basic response to personal tragedy (is) to sort of shut down and harden around the absence of somebody," he said in an ABC interview. "And this just kept me open." He added: "We eventually absorb, or rearrange ourselves, so that we become creatures of loss as we get older; this is part of our fundamental fabric of what we are as human beings." Alongside Earl, now 25 and working as an actor, Cave also has another son, Luke, 34, from his first marriage to Brazilian journalist Viviane Carneiro. In May 2024, the Bad Seeds frontman became a grandfather when Luke and his wife, Sasha, welcomed a son, Roman. Cave ended his letter with a poignant tribute to honour Arthur: "We remember him today … this whirling boy who is God, like every other thing."

ABC comedy Austin returns with more humour, heart and Michael Theo
Austin (season two) ★★★★ There is much to rejoice about Austin, ABC's Australian and British comedy drama co-production, returning for a second series. An original show! Made (partly) here! More of actor Michael Theo in the title role! Big-hearted, intelligently humorous and laced with goof, the first series followed Austin (Theo, Love On the Spectrum), an autistic man, connecting with his biological father, Julian (Ben Miller, Professor T, Paddington), a bestselling – though recently cancelled – author. Their new relationship brought profound change for father and son (and greater family and associates) amid revealed secrets and semi-chaos. Series one ended with DNA results and a cliffhanger – is Austin actually Julian's son? The answer comes swiftly in series two's opening episode. I won't give it away, suffice to say that Austin, Julian and a raft of returning and new characters (this show bursts with singularly distinctive roles) are front and centre across eight new episodes, all set, as in series one, between Canberra and London. Austin, now living in North London with Julian, his stepmother Ingrid (Sally Phillips, Bridget Jones, Miranda) and his stepsister Florence (Ellie McKay, Miss Austen), has written a book about England's capital, and Julian, pivoting careers, is helping to publish it. Austin is given a literary agent, Greta (Claire Lovering, Gold Diggers) a posh zeitgeister with ironic knee-high socks and untrammelled confidence, whose influence on her client brings fame and a character change. Julian – cognisant of the philandering and narcissism that has driven Ingrid to reconsider her marriage – is doing his uneven best to stop acting like a total prig.
