Pop superstar Dua Lipa and her actor fiancé, Callum Turner, were spotted sharing an intimate and relaxed beach day in Mexico this week, following the conclusion of her extensive world tour. The couple, who became engaged earlier this year, appeared deeply in love as they soaked up the sun ahead of the Christmas holidays.
A Loved-Up Display on the Sands
The singer, 30, showcased her toned physique in a revealing leopard-print bikini, featuring a white and brown design with a thong back. Turner, 35, demonstrated his devotion by tenderly applying sun cream to his partner's back and bottom during their seaside retreat. He complemented her look by going shirtless, displaying his own athletic build in a pair of dark swimming shorts.
Lipa opted for a natural aesthetic, pinning her dark hair up and forgoing makeup to highlight her fresh-faced beauty. The pair strolled hand-in-hand to the water's edge to cool off, sharing adoring glances that underscored their strong connection. This romantic excursion comes just days after the singer posted smiling photos from a cosy date night with her partner.
From Near Misses to Lasting Love
The couple's romance, which began in January 2024, quickly progressed to an engagement confirmed in June this year. In a recent candid interview, Turner opened up about their instant connection, calling Lipa "the most beautiful woman in the world." He revealed to The Times Style that their paths had nearly crossed on multiple occasions prior to finally meeting.
"There were maybe two, three, four, five near misses over our time where we didn't meet," Turner explained. Their fateful first encounter happened at a mutual friend's birthday drinks, where they discovered they were both reading the same novel, Hernan Diaz's Trust, and were each only one chapter in. The actor described the moment as a clear sign, cementing their immediate bond.
To maintain their relationship amidst hectic, often long-distance schedules—Lipa's touring and Turner's filming commitments—the pair have established a crucial "rule" to prioritise their time together, though the specifics remain private.
Celebrating a Monumental Tour Finale
This Mexican getaway served as a perfect post-tour respite for Lipa. Her Radical Optimism global tour, named after her latest studio album, concluded in Mexico City after a staggering 92 shows. The tour kicked off in Singapore in November 2024 and spanned Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Oceania.
Marking the end of an era, Lipa penned an emotional thank you note to fans. "What a life. What a joy," she wrote. "Thank you Radical Optimism for the most fulfilling year and a half. 92 shows since last May ~ around the world with the very very best!!!!"
The tour has been a monumental commercial success. According to industry figures, the first 44 shows alone grossed an impressive $112.3 million and sold nearly 960,000 tickets, underscoring Lipa's status as a global music powerhouse.
Now, with the tour behind her, the singer is clearly relishing quality time with her future husband, signalling a joyful personal chapter ahead as she digests her professional achievements.
