Callum Turner, a British actor and former model, has officially married Grammy-winning singer and actor Dua Lipa in London in May 2026, with the couple seen leaving a town hall while friends and family celebrated with confetti. Their relationship became public over time after romance rumors first surfaced in January 2024, when they were reportedly seen together at an afterparty following the premiere of Turner’s series Masters of the Air. Lipa later made the relationship Instagram official in July 2024 after her Glastonbury appearance, and the pair made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala in May 2025. Engagement speculation began in December 2024 after Lipa appeared with a diamond ring in Christmas Eve Instagram photos. She confirmed the engagement in a British Vogue interview in July 2025, saying the decision to build a life together felt deeply special. According to the interview, Turner proposed with a custom-designed ring created with help from Lipa’s sister and close friends.
Turner began his career in fashion before moving into acting. Born in Chelsea, London, he started modeling in 2010, working with brands such as Reebok and Next. He later became the face of a Burberry campaign in 2011, appearing alongside notable British stars including Eddie Redmayne and Emma Watson. During a modeling stint in Japan, he followed a strict diet that earned him the nickname “Maguro man,” a reference to the tuna he reportedly ate almost every day. Turner said the experience was demanding but necessary because he needed to lose a significant amount of weight for the work.
He has since built a strong acting career across film and television. His film credits include Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022), Emma (2020), and The Boys in the Boat (2023). On television, he appeared in the BBC adaptation of War & Peace in 2016 and more recently starred in Masters of the Air. Turner has also been candid about personal challenges, including a past struggle with marijuana use. In a 2020 interview, he described himself as a heavy user who self-medicated to cope with depression and frustration, and said it took years to move past that period of his life. He credited self-compassion and determination for helping him stop.
Before acting success, Turner dated actress Vanessa Kirby for several years. He has also spoken about leaving school at 16 to pursue football, joining a semi-professional team and initially believing he might become a professional athlete. Although he was deeply committed, he later accepted that football would not become his career.
