Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's Romantic Parisian Getaway Captured in Playful Snaps
The singer Dua Lipa, aged 29, looked utterly enamoured as she shared a series of flirty photo booth images with her fiancé, actor Callum Turner, 35, from their picturesque break in Paris over the weekend. The Houdini hitmaker was seen laughing joyfully, wrapping her arms around Callum, with the couple pulling playful faces, stealing kisses, and showcasing their undeniable chemistry in the candid shots.
Instagram Tribute and Personal Insights on Long-Distance Struggles
Dua simply captioned her Instagram carousel as 'love letter', adding another picture where Callum, known for his role in Eternity, snapped her with an analog camera. This romantic display comes after Dua opened up about the difficulties of maintaining long-distance relationships, offering advice to a fan who had moved away for work.
On her lifestyle site Service 95, where she took on a new role as an agony aunt, the Levitating singer was asked for tips on 'staying connected with loved ones from the other side of the world'. Dua was well-suited to answer, having recently completed her year-long Radical Optimism tour, which saw her travel globally while separated from her London-based fiancé and family.
She responded: 'This is something I've had to get pretty good at over the years, especially during touring seasons! I'll start by saying this: it does get easier with time, but it never stops being hard. Being far away from your family is tough. It's not just the big occasions you miss; it's the build-up of small moments that can leave you feeling out of sync with each other.'
Optimistic Outlook and Advice on Break-Ups
Despite acknowledging the hardships, Dua ended on a hopeful note, musing: 'Yes, relationships do change with distance, but love doesn't. If anything, it can feel even stronger when you don't get to see each other all the time.'
The chart-topper also shared insights on past break-ups after receiving a letter from a fan whose sister had lost confidence following a split. Dua, who previously dated model Anwar Hadid and chef Isaac Carew before finding love with Callum, replied: 'Break-ups are never easy, I know that firsthand, and it's horrible watching someone you love get knocked by one. When someone's confidence takes a hit, your instinct is usually to rush in with the big affirmations: You're amazing! F*** them! But I'd say that's not always what they want or need to hear right away.'
She added: 'Sometimes the best thing you can do is just be there and be reliable. Let her say, "This makes me feel like s**t," without trying to fix it or put a positive spin on it. Break-ups are disorienting and having the space to feel the weight of that can actually be really healing.'
More Parisian Moments and Career Glimpses
Elsewhere in the stunning carousel, Dua posed for a sultry selfie, looking effortlessly cool bundled up in a trim-fur coat while strutting the streets of Paris. She once again displayed her impeccable sense of glamour, rocking a lavish animal-print fur for a night out.
Yet the songstress seemed to have found time for career duties, sharing a few polaroids of herself in the music studio. The British-Albanian star posed inside the studio, blinking for the camera and teasing she might be stirring the pot for some new music. In other shots, Dua opted for a stylish trench jacket and denim, and was seen holding a cigarette and a drink while pouting alongside a pal.
She appeared to have the time of her life in Paris, joined by plenty of close friends and showcasing memories of an unforgettable time in the French capital alongside loved ones and her fiancé.
Reflections on Her New Advisory Role
Writing on her website, Dua said of her new advisory role: 'I've been told before that I give good advice, so this definitely puts that claim to the test! Either way, I absolutely loved reading every submission, so thank you so much to everyone who took part. It was genuinely a lot of fun, and I hope my advice helps you in some way.'
