LONDON: Pop star Dua Lipa and 'Fantastic Beasts' actor Callum Turner tied the knot in London on Sunday in a low-key civil ceremony, according to media reports. The Sun and Daily Mail tabloids published photos of the couple leaving Old Marylebone Town Hall after exchanging vows with only a handful of family and friends present.
Wedding Details
Dua Lipa, 30, wore a white hat and dress designed by the Schiaparelli studio for the occasion. Turner, 36, opted for a dark blue suit. The ceremony lasted approximately 30 to 40 minutes, with only eight close friends and family members in attendance. As the newlyweds exited the historic venue, they were showered with confetti and flower petals before departing in a black car.
Planned Celebrations
The Sun reported that the couple now plans a "sumptuous" three-day party in Sicily at the end of next week. According to The Sun and Daily Mail, the festivities are set to take place at the 17th-century Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, near Palermo. Multiple venues have been rented out, and the guest list is rumored to include Sir Elton John, Charli XCX, and Tove Lo. There are even whispers that Sir Elton, who collaborated with Dua on the 2021 hit 'Cold Heart', could perform.
Relationship Background
Representatives for the couple did not respond to AFP's request for comment. Dua Lipa, the daughter of Kosovo migrants who rose to fame with her 2016 single 'Be The One', announced in an interview with British Vogue last year that she and Turner planned to marry. Turner gained international recognition for his role in the 'Fantastic Beasts' films and is considered a potential candidate to play the next James Bond.
Personal Reflections
In her British Vogue interview, Dua shared her feelings about the marriage: "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 also expressed openness about starting a family, saying motherhood will happen "when it happens".
The choice of Old Marylebone Town Hall was not random; close friend Charli XCX held her own quick civil ceremony there last year before a larger celebration abroad.
