Callum Turner and Dua Lipa are officially navigating a new chapter in their lives together, and Turner is spilling all the tea on what’s to come.
After sparking romance rumors in early 2024 and confirming their engagement the following autumn, the couple recently made headlines with an intimate civil ceremony at London’s Marylebone Town Hall.
The duo opted for a small ceremony surrounded by their loved ones, while also planning for a larger celebration in Italy.
In a recent interview, Turner reflected on the whirlwind of public attention surrounding his wedding to Lipa and expressed his joy.
“It was amazing, and it was… it was the most beautiful day of my life,” Turner shared. “We went to the park yesterday, and everyone who walked past said, ‘Congratulations.’ It was pretty surreal.”
Addressing the unusual nature of having a deeply personal milestone played out across international headlines, Turner noted that while it feels “weird,” he has learned over time to tune out public noise.
Looking ahead to what he wants from the next decade, the 36-year-old actor revealed his desire to expand his family. When asked if building a family was his “priority,” he told Esquire Magazine, “Obviously, yeah, I’m 36. I’d like to have a family and raise some kids.”
As the couple enjoys their newlyweds era, Turner is keeping busy professionally as well. Next up, he is working on a remake of “Possession,” while simultaneously tackling the personal goal of learning French.
What Dua Lipa Said About Her Views On Motherhood
Building on Turner’s candid reflections about family priorities, his partner has similarly shared her perspective on the future.
Long before tying the knot, the “New Rules” singer confirmed her desire for children, stating, “I’d love to have kids one day.”
However, the global pop star didn’t shy away from discussing the many sacrifices required to balance motherhood with a demanding international music career.
Despite those professional concerns, the Grammy winner maintained a hopeful outlook, trusting that family milestones would align naturally over time. “It will happen when it happens,” she noted, per The Blast.
Her practical approach to the realities of balancing a high-profile career with future parenthood earned widespread praise from fans and commentators alike.
Dua Lipa & Callum Turner Tied The Knot In A Lowkey London Ceremony
Almost a year after sharing her thoughts on motherhood, Lipa walked down the aisle and made her commitment to Turner official in a low-key setting in London.
The couple officially tied the knot surrounded by close family, which served as the precursor to a star-studded wedding celebration that later took place in Sicily.
According to The Blast, the singer opted for modern bridal elegance, wearing a custom Schiaparelli, a Bulgari necklace, and a dramatic hat, while her new husband rocked a tailored navy suit.
The intimate ceremony lasted approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Following the service, the newlyweds celebrated in relaxed, classic London style, hopping into an iconic black London cab as family members cheered them off.
The Couple Specifically Wanted An Intimate London Ceremony
The quiet London ceremony gave the newlyweds “exactly what they wanted”: a private, deeply personal moment to mark their commitment before stepping back into the international spotlight.
Following their nuptials at Old Marylebone Town Hall, a source close to the pair revealed that Lipa “couldn’t be happier.”
The informant noted that an intimate civil service was paramount for the couple before hosting their larger, multi-day festivities because they wanted the event to be meaningful, according to The Blast.
The source also revealed that they wanted to enjoy the intimacy of a small wedding and the bigger celebration in Sicily. After exchanging vows, Lipa and Turner enjoyed a small post-ceremony gathering with close friends and family, with insiders noting they were “so excited for what’s still to come.”
Dua Lipa & Callum Turner’s Sicily Wedding Resulted In Backlash From Locals
Although Lipa and Turner eventually had their big celebration in Sicily, it did not go without a hitch. The extensive street closures and heavy security surrounding the private event sparked notable pushback from Palermo residents.
Discontented locals voiced their frustration over the disruption of public spaces by hanging protest signs from balconies and tagging slogans across neighborhood walls. According to The Blast, community members also argued that public areas should remain accessible to everyone rather than being privatized for high-profile events.
One slogan read, “Palermo is not for rent. Public spaces belong to everyone,” and another stressed that Palermo was not exclusive to “rich” people alone.
