Speaking to British Vogue for its new issue, on stands July 17, Dua says, "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." Of her ring, which Turner had made for her, she says, "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me." Lipa and Turner were first introduced at a London restaurant, and then ran into each other a year later in Los Angeles, where they discovered they were both reading the same book: "Trust," by Hernán Díaz. Lipa says it was "one thousand per cent" a sign they were destined to be together. Dua Lipa wraps 1st leg of 'Radical Optimism' tour with surprise performance The wedding may have to wait, though. Lipa explained, "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period." She added, "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?'"

Dua Lipa wows fans at Royal Albert Hall with special guest Elton John As for children, Lipa said she'd "love to have kids one day," but noted, "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." As for Lipa's other future plans? The pop superstar said she wants to help authors get published and turn books into film and TV, as well as start her own record label.

Jamie Foxx credits daughters for helping him recover from health scare in BET Awards speech
When Jamie Foxx accepted the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards on Monday, the actor, comedian and singer made sure to shout out his family, including his two daughters, whom he credited for helping him recover from a health scare two years ago. The 57-year-old teared up during his emotional and lengthy acceptance speech, referencing his life-threatening medical episode in April 2023 and thanking the important people in his life. BET Awards celebrates 25th anniversary "I have to thank my family. I have to thank my sister Deidra [Dixon], who's in the audience right now," Foxx said. "When I went through what I was going through, she shut it down, and she made sure that she took care of her brother. Little Black girl from South Dallas and she does all the hair and makeup on the Marvel films -- that's her." Foxx also spotlighted both of his daughters, starting with Corinne Fox, 31, who is an actor like her father. "My beautiful daughter, Corinne. I cannot say enough about you. You've always taken the backseat to everything. But when you needed to drive it, you drove, and you made sure I was here," the proud father said. "And I ain't going to turn down. And I'm not going to stop crying. I got to stop. At a certain point, I'm going to stop crying, but I ain't going to stop just yet." Jamie Foxx reveals he was hospitalized for a 'stroke' from a 'brain bleed' in new comedy special Foxx then turned to younger daughter Anelise, 16, who enjoys playing the piano and guitar, as he revealed previously . "When I was fighting for my life in there, I got to say this. They said that 'we're going to lose him because his vitals is bad.' And I didn't want my 14-year-old to see me like that," Foxx said. "But Anelise overheard the conversation and she snuck into my hospital room with her guitar and said, 'I know what my daddy needs.' And then she played the guitar -- my vitals dropped and I realized God was in that guitar, and the nurses ran in and said, 'What did they give him?' And my daughter says, "Shh, I got him.'" Foxx's family initially released few details about his mysterious condition back in 2023. In a Netflix special released in December 2024, Foxx opened up about what his medical team had told his family and revealed they informed his younger sister that he'd had a brain bleed that led to a stroke. "I got to be honest. When I saw the [in memoriam], I was like, man, that could have been me," Foxx said in his acceptance speech Monday. He added, "I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance I'm not going to turn down."

'Bachelorette' alum Katie Thurston reveals memory loss amid breast cancer battle
Katie Thurston, former star of "The Bachelorette," is opening up about a challenging side effect she's experiencing amid her breast cancer treatment. In an emotional Instagram video shared Sunday, Thurston, 34, revealed she's been struggling with memory loss after completing her second month of breast cancer treatment. 'Bachelorette' alum Katie Thurston marries comedian Jeff Arcuri following breast cancer diagnosis Back in March, she shared on "Good Morning America" that she had been diagnosed with Stage 3 triple-positive ductal carcinoma, a type of cancer where tumor cells have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 receptors on their surface, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute. In her latest update, Thurston noted that her breast cancer had spread to her liver, making it Stage 4. "After finishing two months of my medication, my hair is coming out in an unnatural amount of clumps… I'm losing my memory," she said. "Going through customs and them being like, 'where are you coming from?' And I looked at them, I was like, 'I don't remember.'" Thurston, who tied the knot with comedian Jeff Arcuri in March, said the memory lapse even sparked a minor disagreement with her husband. "I think this has happened before. He's like, 'when?' I was like, 'I don't know, but I know it has,'" she recalled, adding that they have been able to find light in the situation. "We're able to laugh about it now," she continued. "Cancer is s---. Sometimes I'm like, 'Stop feeling bad for yourself.' Other times I'm like, 'You're allowed to feel bad for yourself. Cancer f------ sucks.'" Thurston also shared that her current medication, a hormonal therapy known as Zoladex, didn't effectively suppress her ovarian hormones production, which led to an unexpected period. As a result, her doctors are switching her to Lupron. "And if that doesn't work, I have to get my ovaries taken out," she said. She said she remains "optimistic about medical advancements in the future," even though she said her treatment may be required long-term, if not lifelong given that her breast cancer is now stage 4. "But anyway, it's National Cancer Survivors Day," she added. "And you know, every day that I'm alive, I'm a survivor, so go me. I guess." During the interview with "GMA" earlier this year, Thurston shared that she initially dismissed a small lump on her breast, assuming it was related to her menstrual cycle but when she eventually sought medical care, she was ultimately diagnosed with cancer. Thurston said she hopes that by sharing her story, she can inspire others to prioritize their breast health including routine cancer screening. "I think that's the biggest takeaway, is telling people like, 'Don't wait,' you know, 'Be proactive, get checked out,'" she said at the time. "You could be doing yourself a favor in the future."
