Pop star Dua Lipa and 'Fantastic Beasts' actor Callum Turner married in London on Sunday, according to media reports, which said the low-key nuptials may be followed by a three-day party in Sicily.
The Sun and Daily Mail tabloids showed photos of the couple leaving Old Marylebone Town Hall following a civil ceremony with just a handful of family and friends. Dua Lipa, 30, wore a white hat and dress designed by the Schiaparelli studio for the wedding, reports said. Turner, 36, donned a dark blue suit.
The Sun said that they now plan a "sumptuous" three-day party in Sicily at the end of next week. Representatives of the couple, who have been together since January 2024, did not answer AFP's request to comment.
Dua Lipa, the daughter of Kosovo migrants who has become one of Britain's top singers since her 'Be The One' single in 2016, announced in an interview with British Vogue last year that she and Turner planned to marry. Turner made an international name for himself appearing in the 'Fantastic Beasts' films. He is considered a possible candidate to become the next James Bond.
The choice of Old Marylebone Town Hall wasn't random - close friend Charli XCX held her own quick civil ceremony there last year before a bigger celebration abroad. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by just eight close friends and family, the newlyweds made it legal in a 30-40 minute ceremony.
As they exited the historic venue, the couple was showered with confetti and flower petals by their loved ones before slipping into a black car. The London ceremony was just the legal start. According to The Sun and Daily Mail, the couple is planning a lavish three-day "fairytale" celebration in Palermo, Sicily, next week.
Festivities are set for the 17th-century Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, with multiple venues rented out and a guest list rumoured to include Sir Elton John, Charli XCX, and Tove Lo. There are even whispers that Sir Elton - who collaborated with Dua on 2021's 'Cold Heart' - could perform.
For Dua, the wedding marks a shift she never expected. "This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling," she told British Vogue. She's also been candid about wanting kids one day, though she says motherhood will happen "when it happens". AGENCIES
