Thank you for making my last year so special☆ I'm excited to make this the best one yet ☆!!!!!"

The Story of Their Romance
In a recent interview, Callum Turner opened up about his relationship with the singer, whom he described as "the most beautiful woman in the world." He detailed to The Times Style how they had several near misses before finally meeting at a mutual friend's birthday drinks.
A pivotal moment in their initial connection came when they discovered they were both reading the same novel, Hernan Diaz's Trust, having each only just finished the first chapter. "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," Callum recounted, noting that was the first significant spark between them. The actor also revealed the couple has a 'rule' to help maintain their relationship amidst busy schedules and long-distance commitments.
