It's not even half way through the year, but we’re calling it: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are officially the hottest couple of 2024. Not only are they both ridiculously good-looking, but between the two of them, they’re a triple threat.
Since going public in January, the newest couple on the celebrity circuit have been making a splash at any and every opportunity. The couple recently attended the TIME 100 gala together in New York, where they were pictured hand in hand. A source told Us Weekly that the stars have been dating ‘for a little while’ and they have an ‘amazing connection'. They do say pictures speak a thousand words, after all.
And with all eyes on Dua ahead of the release of her new album Radical Optimism – and her stint hosting Saturday Night Live and upcoming headline set at Glastonbury – fans are intrigued by her relationship with Callum too. Speaking ahead of the album's release on Apple Music, Dua opened up about the impact her past relationships had had on her, and how she now looked for people who were 'loyal and open and honest'.
'I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well,' she said. 'It goes back to that exchange of vulnerability. I think I’ve had relationships which have been really hurtful, especially earlier on, where I feel like I’ve been made to feel like not good enough or have made me lose my confidence. I’ve had to find that again.'
While she didn't mention Callum by name, it's clear the actor is ticking major boxes for Dua. Got an itch you need scratched when it comes to Callum? We've got you. From Callum Turner's height to his relationships past and present, here's everything to know about the actor.
Who is Callum Turner?
Callum Turner is a British actor and former model who hails from Hammersmith, London, but was raised in Chelsea. Born on 15 February 1990, the star recently celebrated his 34th birthday.
Thanks to his very prolific acting career, he is reportedly worth around £3million. Unfortunately, you can’t keep tabs on his exciting life on Instagram, but there are a scarily large number of fan pages for him on the social media platform.
Does Callum Turner have any siblings?
Look, we get it. Essentially you’re trying to work out if Callum Turner has a brother that you can date, now that he’s off the market.
Sadly, it doesn’t look like Callum has any siblings, although the actor is notoriously private. All we really know about his childhood is that he was born in London and grew up on a Chelsea estate.

Inside Callum Turner and Dua Lipa’s relationship
Callum Turner and Dua Lipa were first linked in early January, when Dua supported Callum at the premiere afterparty of his new series Masters of the Air. Not long after, the pair were spotted kissing in LA after going on a date night to eat sushi.
Whilst it’s not known how the lovebirds met, it appears to be getting pretty serious already. After being papped together on multiple occasions (including on a cosy walk in LA), Callum took things to the next level by introducing the One Kiss hitmaker to his mum on the lead-up to his 34th birthday. In images obtained by MailOnline, Dua was photographed embracing her beau’s mum, before the couple headed on a date night later in the week to watch The Motive and the Cue at the West End.
An insider has also told US Weekly that Callum ‘makes Dua happy and she’s excited to see where things go’, adding, ‘It’s too soon to see if there’s any long-term potential between Dua and Callum, [but] they’re definitely into each other.’
The couple are yet to break their silence on the new relationship. Callum has remained coy when quizzed about the pop sensation, replying, ‘I don’t know about that’ when asked whether he ‘danced the night away with a certain Grammy Award winner’. Nicely played.
How tall is Callum Turner?
After he and Dua made their romance public, the world couldn't help but swoon over the star - with more than one fan noting his towering height. Recently appearing alongside Barry Keoghan and Austin Butler, Callum appeared to tower over his fellow actors.
Given Barry's a not-so-shabby 5'8, with Austin a swoon-worthy 6'0, it's no surprise fans began speculating just how long Mr Turner actually is. As the world swooned, one fan tweeted, 'Growing on you?? I've been obsessed with that tall British man since 2017.'
Answering the question on everyone's mind, it turns out that Callum is actually an impressive 6'2. That’s probably why his career started as a Burberry model. That and his good looks obviously.
For a visualisation, that means Callum Turner's height leaves him taller than six Subway foot longs (and both Barry and Austin, of course).
Callum Turner’s dating history
Callum Turner and Vanessa Kirby dated for four years after meeting on the set of Queen and Country in 2014. The pair kept things private at first, but revealed that they were dating after Vanessa was linked to her Mission Impossible co-star Tom Cruise in 2017.
The pair eventually split in early 2020 after gradually growing apart due to their hectic schedules.
In 2020, pictures emerged of Callum and his co-star Shailene Woodley looking cosy at the wrap party for their film The Last Letter from Your Lover. The pair never confirmed or denied anything however, and at the time Shailene was dating Australian rugby star Ben Volavola.
Meanwhile, Dua has previously dated model-turned-chef Isaac Carew, Lany frontman Paul Klein, actor and younger brother of Bella and Gigi Hadid, Anwar, and French film director Romain Gavras.
