But both the 21-year-old male model and the 25-year-old “New Rules” singer experienced their shares of romantic ups and downs before finding one another. With Lipa likely to have a very big night at the 2021 Grammys this Sunday, March 14—she’s up for a whopping six awards, including Album of the Year for her second studio LP, Future Nostalgia—let’s take a look back at what brought these two together, and who else appears on their romantic resumés.
How did Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid meet?
In the summer of 2019, they were photographed together in the crowd at a UK music festival, snuggling up to one another and (as the Brits would say) snogging. TMZ reported in early July of that year, “Things really started to snowball around early June when Anwar caught wind that Dua had broken up with her BF, and reached out to her for a date…Anwar [then] invited Dua to his 20th birthday party around mid-June–where eyewitnesses tell us it was obvious to everyone that something was going on between them, as they looked very much so like a romantic pair.” TMZ also noted that one of Hadid’s two older sisters, model Gigi Hadid, was friends with Lipa at the time and may have served as matchmaker.
What has Dua Lipa said about Anwar Hadid?
In January 2021, she told Rolling Stone about their romance, “I’m very comfortable in the relationship, more so than any others.” She also revealed that she gifted him two Pygmy goats, named Bam-Bam and Funky, for Christmas 2020.
Do Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid live together?
The pandemic apparently brought them closer together, emotionally and physically. Back at the start of the pandemic in April 2020, Hadid told Good Morning Britain that she and her beau were quarantining together at a “random Airbnb” in London, adding, “It’s been really, really good." Sometime since then, they relocated to the Pennsylvania farm owned by Hadid’s mom, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid. (Anwar’s sister Gigi has also been spending time at the farm since becoming a new mom with boyfriend Zayn Malik.) As Lipa told Rolling Stone, their relaxed daily rituals at the rural locale include long walks, yoga, watching movies and playing with the barnyard animals.
Who did Dua Lipa date before Anwar Hadid?
For about five years, Lipa was in an on-again-off-again relationship with Isaac Carew, a model-turned-chef who authored the cookbook The Dirty Dishes: 100 Fast & Delicious Recipes. Lipa and Carew, who’s about nine years older than her, were last photographed together at the 2019 Met Gala and seemingly broke up only about a month before Lipa and Hadid started dating. During one of her splits from Carew, Lipa was also linked to fellow musician Paul Klein, a member of the American alt-rock band LANY. While that relationship was short-lived, Klein later admitted to Harper’s Bazaar in 2018, “I think that was the first time I’ve ever been in love, and I never felt anything like that in my life…I never felt a pain like that.” Wow, she certainly knows how to break a heart!
