Dua Lipa is one of the biggest names in the world, with her Barbie cameo and soundtrack collab, plus her 2024 album Radical Optimism bring the star even more fame. After such a busy creative period, it’s clear the pop singer has been having the time of her life – proving that she’s really out here doing it all herself. And Dua Lipa’s boyfriend history is even more proof of that.
While the fascination around her on and off-duty tour wardrobe has been a major talking point, her love life is arguably a bigger one. Lipa, who has been romantically linked to a few men since we’ve come to know her name (including Bella Hadid’s brother), has made a career from singing about love and heartbreak. It makes sense then, that she’s had her fair share of inspiration and muses to take her career to the next level.
So, in honour of the breakup anthem singer herself, we’ve taken a look back at each of her ex-boyfriends to date.
Dua Lipa Boyfriend And Dating History 2015-2024
Callum Turner
Dua Lipa and boyfriend Callum Turner have been linked together since January 2024 when she was seen attending his Masters of Air premiere. Sources confirmed the two were “mad about” each other, and they swiftly started making their dates public. This includes outings at Glastonbury, where Dua Lipa and Callum Turner were spotted holding hands, looking very happy together.

Romain Gavras
Dua Lipa and boyfriend Romain Gavras split towards the end of 2023, after enjoying what a source called a “summer of love”. The pair debuted as a couple at Cannes Film Festival in 2023, and were very loved up for a few months. However, a source told The Sun that filmmaker Romain perceived Dua as a “workaholic” — and the pair decided to end their relationship “before things turned sour”.
Jack Harlow
After meeting in person at an event in November 2022, Dua Lipa and Jack Harlow reportedly hit it off and began dating. That’s according to several sources who spoke to Page Six, who claimed that Dua was “smitten” with Jack while the rapper was “very interested” and is “strongly pursuing” the romance.
The news came after Jack dropped his song, Dua Lipa dedicated to the British singer. In it he raps, “Dua Lipa, I’m tryna do more with her than do a feature”—he reportedly ran the song by Dua before he dropped it via a FaceTime call. One song really is all it takes (for a while at least).
Trevor Noah
In September 2022, Dua and Daily Show host Trevor Noah sparked dating rumours when they were spotted kissing and hugging outside of a Jamaican restaurant in the East Village, New York.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, an onlooker said: “They were quietly sat away from everyone else at restaurant. It was clear they were into each other and sat close together throughout the meal. They left together and walked, stopping for long embraces and on the second kiss with hugs.”
A month later in October 2022, the comedian appeared on Dua’s podcast, Dua Lipa: At Your Service where they gushed over one another and their friendship.
“You’ve always been really wonderful and gracious,” he told Dua. “You’ve always been a really wonderful light, just in the spaces that everybody’s in.”
But whether or not Trevor Noah was ever Dua Lipa’s boyfriend isn’t exactly clear. That same month, Dua had singer Charli XCX on her podcast, where she cleared up dating rumours and insisted she was focusing on herself.
“For me, this is the first year I’ve not been in a relationship for a very long time,” she said. “It’s been really great to just be alone and only think about myself and kind of be quite selfish.”
Anwar Hadid
Dua Lipa and (ex) boyfriend Anwar Hadid (little brother to Gigi and Bella Hadid) first met back in early 2019 and immediately bonded over their shared love of music.
In an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Dua revealed they initially met at a barbecue, but that she later slid into his DMs.
“I have a confession to make…mine was my boyfriend, so my current boyfriend,” she said, when asked if she’s ever DM slide someone. “I definitely did that.”
Anwar, who was an aspiring artist at the time, showed his music to Dua around early June, at which point “”things really started to snowball,” per TMZ.
Three months into their relationship, the pair rented an apartment in New York to be closer to Gigi and in August 2020 during the pandemic, made the decision to get a dog together named Dexter.
“I’m very comfortable in the relationship, more so than any others,” she told Rolling Stone in January 2021. “[We] wake up around 9:00, 9:30, shower, get dressed, have a bit of breakfast, take the dog out on a really nice long walk, maybe do some yoga, make some lunch, hang out, watch a movie, play with the animals.”
By December 2021, things were less easy breezy, with the US Sun reporting that the couple – who were known to “break up/get back together/break up/get back together” by their inner circle – were in “crisis talks” about their relationship.
“The couple floated the idea about putting the brakes on their romance last month as traveling so much and being apart is proving tough,” the insider told the outlet. “Their relationship is going through a crisis and appears to be on the rocks.”
Isaac Carew (again)
Dua Lipa’s boyfriend from 2015, Isaac Carew, was said to remain close to her after they first broke up. As it turned out, they remained such good friends that they apparently rekindled things around May 2018.
Just a few weeks later, their relationship was rocked when The Sun released a video of Isaac grinding with a mystery woman in a nightclub while Dua’s song One Kiss played in the background – not exactly boyfriend behaviour. To make matters worse, Dua Lipa was on tour at the time.
Addressing his actions, he wrote on Instagram at the time: “I wouldn’t want you to think that Dua is in a relationship with someone who doesn’t love and respect her. She wouldn’t stand for it…There was no kissing and I’m disappointed at myself for even dancing for a brief moment given the way it was portrayed…We [Dua] are very happy being back together. We spent 3 and half years happily together with loyalty and love and we never broke up in the first place because we had problems like that.
In the aftermath, Dua tweeted: “You should keep your friends and loved ones close, trust your gut and go with your instinct.”
It seemed like that could’ve been the end of things, but it wasn’t quite yet. They appeared together at the Met Gala in 2019 and Isaac accompanied Dua to the Grammys where she took home two awards.
Ultimately, things weren’t to last, with the pair splitting for good in June 2019.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Dua and Isaac have really struggled to see each other since getting back together. They wanted to make things work and things were great between them for a while but she is just getting busier and busier.”
“She is gearing up to release new music and has basically been performing across the world non-stop for the past three years so it’s been tough….It’s been a difficult decision but ultimately they haven’t been able to make things work.”
Paul Jason Klein
Dua met Paul (member of American band LANY) while at the British Summertime Gig in London’s Hyde Park. Sparks flew and they started dating not long after, spending Christmas 2017 with each other.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be Dua’s shortest public relationship, lasting just five months.
“Leave behind anything or anyone who stresses your heart out,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “Note to self: sometimes caring about everyone and everything can cause you and your heart stress. But never change the way you love and care about people even if it means you get stuck in the shit for it.”
It was following her split with Paul that media first reported Dua Lipa previous boyfriend Isaac Carew got back in contact, with a source telling The Sun: “Dua and Paul had a really good time together but things just didn’t work out. The break-up has brought back memories of Isaac, who she split with this time last year.”
Isaac Carew
Dua was first linked to celebrity chef and model Isaac Carew back in 2015, with things going steady for the next two years. They broke up February 2017 and were said to have remained friends.
