Everyone loves hearing how a couple got together, especially when the story feels like it could be the plot of a romantic film. For Callum Turner and Dua Lipa, their love story began not with glitz and glamour, but with a book, a clever line, and a spark that was impossible to ignore. It’s the kind of beginning you’d expect to see on the big screen, only this one happened in real life.
The English actor recently opened up about his relationship with his fiancée during an interview with The Sunday Times, revealing how their first meeting was nothing short of cinematic. From a mutual friend’s birthday to an unexpected connection over “Trust” by Hernán Díaz, the pair’s story proves that fate sometimes has a flair for the dramatic.
The “Fantastic Beasts” star recalled how they bonded over their shared reading choice, sparking an instant connection. “I had just finished the first chapter, and I told her, and she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too,’” he said. The actor then delivered what might be one of the smoothest and cheesiest lines in celebrity dating history: “So we’re on the same page.”
Even Callum admitted the moment felt like something straight out of a film. “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,” he said with a laugh. Since then, the couple’s connection has only deepened. After a year of dating, the pair announced their engagement in June. Dua and Callum’s chemistry has become one of the entertainment world’s favourite love stories.
Speaking about their upcoming wedding, the actor revealed that the couple has been planning their big day despite their hectic schedules and long-distance stretches. “FaceTime is a wonderful thing. And the other rule is that it’s never not worth it, that’s our slogan. If you can go for two days, just go. And if you’re tired, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to have a nice time and have a nice memory,” he shared.
While no date has been confirmed yet, the star hinted that the ceremony could take place sometime next year. And given how their story began, fans can’t help but expect their wedding day to be just as picture-perfect as their movie-worthy first meeting.
