Dua Lipa is married. After two years of dating, an engagement that played out partly on Instagram, and not one but two wedding celebrations, the pop star and actor Callum Turner are officially husband and wife.
Here’s the complete timeline the proposal, the ring, both ceremonies, the dresses, the guest list, and where they went on honeymoon.
Who Is Dua Lipa’s Husband?
Dua Lipa’s husband is Callum Turner, an English actor known for playing Theseus Scamander in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise and Major John “Bucky” Egan in Apple TV+’s “Masters of the Air.” He’s also starred in “The Boys in the Boat” and the 2025 romantic fantasy “Eternity.”
Born February 15, 1990, Turner is 36, six years older than Lipa, and grew up in Chelsea, London meaning the couple share both a hometown and, as it turns out, a favorite holiday country.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner: Relationship Timeline
According to Vogue, the pair actually first met at London’s River Café, though they didn’t reconnect until January 2024 in Los Angeles, where Lipa was having dinner with a friend and Turner was in town promoting “Masters of the Air.” Lipa has said her first thought was, “Oh, it’s that really hot guy from the River Café.”
They bonded early on over discovering they were both reading the same novel, a detail that later became a recurring theme throughout their wedding celebrations. The relationship stayed mostly private for over a year, with the couple making their official red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala.
The Proposal and Engagement
Lipa and Turner got engaged in December 2024, though it wasn’t confirmed publicly until months later. Eagle-eyed fans first spotted a ring on Lipa’s hand in a Christmas Instagram photo dump, sparking speculation.
She finally confirmed the engagement in her July 2025 British Vogue cover story, telling the magazine: “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.” She admitted she’d “never been someone who’s really thought about a wedding.”
Dua Lipa’s Engagement Ring
Turner had the ring custom-made, secretly consulting Lipa’s closest friends and her sister during the design process. The result is a roughly 2-carat round-cut diamond set in a thick, 18-karat yellow gold band a bold, unconventional choice instead of the traditional thin band.
The chunky gold style fits Lipa’s love of statement jewelry and has been credited with sparking a wider engagement ring trend toward thicker bands in 2025.
Dua Lipa Wedding Date and Venue
The couple married on May 31, 2026, in a civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. According to The Sun, the London ceremony was remarkably intimate, attended by just eight close family members and friends.
Lipa shared four photos from the day on Instagram, captioned “31.05.2026 ,” including a shot of the couple kissing and another of her holding a bouquet of poppies.
The Sicily Celebration
A week later, the couple held a second, far larger celebration in Sicily, Italy, running from June 5 to June 7. The main event took place at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century palace in Palermo the same estate featured in the opening credits of “The White Lotus” season two.
The venue’s gardens were decorated with satin-bow-draped chairs, traditional Sicilian sugared almonds, and hand-embroidered handkerchiefs reading “stay mad with me forever,” a nod to local wedding customs. Guests later danced to sets from DJs Carl Cox, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, and Peggy Gou, reportedly allowed to play past the venue’s usual midnight curfew.
A pre-wedding street party was also held in Palermo’s Croce dei Vespri square on June 5, transformed into a vintage bookstore as a tribute to how the couple first bonded over reading.
Dua Lipa’s Wedding Dresses
Lipa didn’t wear just one dress she wore several across the multi-day celebrations, each from a different design house:
- London civil ceremony: A custom Schiaparelli skirt suit with a wide-brimmed hat, styled in a Bianca Jagger-inspired silhouette.
- Palermo street party: A custom Bottega Veneta white leather halterneck gown with the brand’s signature woven detailing and ostrich feather trim.
- Main Sicily ceremony: A custom Chanel Haute Couture gown the first wedding dress designed by creative director Matthieu Blazy for a friend of the house. The gown was hand-embroidered with 480,000 beads, took 1,155 hours to construct, and featured a two-meter feathered train alongside a six-meter embellished tulle veil.
Turner, meanwhile, wore a navy suit for the London ceremony and a custom Louis Vuitton suit designed by Pharrell Williams for the Sicily festivities.
Dua Lipa Wedding Guests
The London ceremony was kept to just eight guests. Sicily was the opposite: reports place the guest list at around 200 people across the three-day celebration.
Confirmed attendees included Charli XCX and her husband, The 1975 drummer George Daniel; Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and his wife Sophie; actor Joe Alwyn; singer Troye Sivan; musician Mark Ronson and his wife Grace Gummer; fashion designer Donatella Versace; and Elton John, who performed an acoustic rendition of “Your Song” for the couple after their vow exchange.
Wedding Menu and Reception Details
Italian media reported that guests at the main Sicily ceremony were served dinner prepared by Michelin-starred chefs, though the full menu hasn’t been publicly detailed. The reception itself was held at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Palermo.
Estimated Wedding Budget
Reported figures for the wedding cost vary by outlet. Some reports cited a three-day Sicily celebration budget of approximately £1.3 million, while others estimated the total closer to $1.7 million. A separate economic-impact study cited by Italian news agency ANSA estimated the celebrations generated roughly €268 million ($307.7 million) in economic activity for Palermo’s metro area.
These figures are estimates from media reporting rather than confirmed numbers from the couple, so they should be read as approximate.
Dua Lipa’s Honeymoon
After the Sicily celebrations wrapped, Lipa and Turner extended their stay in Italy with a road trip honeymoon. Photos and reports placed them in Rome, visiting the Colosseum, along with stops in Positano, Basilicata, and the Amalfi Coast near Salerno.
The couple reportedly chose Italy deliberately, with a source telling People it was their “favorite place” and held “so many happy memories” for them already. Lipa shared a 20-photo Instagram carousel on June 26 captioned “Roadtripping,” showing the pair eating pasta and gelato, reading by the pool, and relaxing on a yacht.
Why This Wedding Made Headlines
Beyond the celebrity guest list, the wedding stood out for its scale and cultural impact local Sicilian media compared the celebrations to the fictional wedding in “The Godfather.” It also wasn’t without controversy: some Palermo residents protested the event, with signs reading “Palermo is not for the rich,” echoing similar demonstrations against other recent celebrity weddings in Italy.
