Callum Turner is opening up about his love story with fiancée Dua Lipa, and honestly, it sounds like something straight out of a romantic movie. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the English actor shared how their very first meeting had all the right ingredients — a book, a playful line, and a little help from friends.
The two met at a mutual friend’s birthday party, where they discovered they were both reading the same novel — Trust by Hernán Díaz. That small coincidence turned into something much bigger. “I had just finished the first chapter, and I told her,” Callum recalled. “She looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too.’”
Not wanting to miss the moment, he cracked a line that could fit perfectly into a rom-com: “So we’re on the same page.” Laughing, he admitted that it was a bit cheesy but also kind of magical. “In the movie version of it, I look up to the sky and I’m like, I hear you. I understand. The signs are loud, don’t worry. And that was really the first moment.”
From that day on, the connection between them only grew stronger. After dating for a couple of years, Callum and Dua got engaged earlier this year in what he described as a “beautiful and love-filled moment.”
Talking about wedding planning, the 35-year-old actor revealed that distance hasn’t slowed them down. They’ve been organizing everything together — often through video calls. “FaceTime is a wonderful thing,” he said. “And the other rule is that it’s never not worth it — that’s our slogan. If you can go [to meet] for two days, just go. Even if you’re tired, it doesn’t matter because you’ll make a nice memory.”
The couple hasn’t shared an exact wedding date yet, but with their deep bond and shared enthusiasm, fans are expecting the big day to happen sometime next year. From their bookish beginning to planning a life together, Dua and Callum’s love story truly feels like it was meant to be.
