Dua Lipa and her new boyfriend Callum Turner marked a huge milestone in their relationship on Tuesday, as the pop star met his mother.

The singer, 28, beamed as she embraced Rosemary Turner, who sported bright red hair that matched Dua’s own fiery locks.

Callum, 34, looked in high spirits as he introduced his new girlfriend to his mum as they stood beside Dua’s parked car.

Dua cut a typically stylish figure in a red button-up shirt and blue jeans, with a pair of chunky black boots.

She bundled up from the cold in a grey coat and black woollen scarf, while hiding her face under a black baseball cap.

Callum looked casual in a black zip-up jumper as he happily greeted Rosemary, giving her a warm hug.

The Masters of the Air actor gave his mother a kiss on the cheek, as the trio caught up and laughed together.

Rosemary donned a shearling gilet and black sunglasses, while smiling in approval of her son’s new girlfriend.

The group soon put their things inside Dua’s luxury vehicle, before climbing in with the Houdini hitmaker getting into the driver’s seat to speed off.

Tuesday marked Callum’s 34th birthday, with both his new love and his mum on hand to help him celebrate.

Callum previously revealed that it was his mother that gave him his love of film and inspired him to become an actor.

He told The Times how he inherited his natural talent from his working-class, ‘brilliant’ single parent, who was the ‘strictest mum on their London council estate’.

Speaking of his mother in 2016, who he then lived with in Chelsea, he said: ‘She instilled this belief in me that if I wanted to do something, anything, I should go for it.

‘Although she was also always saying, “Get a trade. Become a plumber.” And I’m like, “No. I don’t want to be a plumber. I want to be a footballer.” I didn’t want the safe option. It’s nice to take risks.’

Speaking to The Independent in 2020, Callum said his contact with his Australian-based father growing up was ‘loose’ and that his father figures were ‘a lot of different gay guys, basically.’

Rosemary dreamt of being an actress but instead worked as a nightclub promoter, for venues including Ministry of Sound, which meant an eclectic mix of characters from the Eighties club scene were constantly visiting their home.

Callum explained: ‘My mum allowed a community of people around me and wasn’t protective of her love for me. It was almost like a tribe.’

He recalled to the Evening Standard in 2019 how Steve Strange, a singer with the British band Visage, ‘lived on and off with us’.

‘Living with Steve was brilliant, him screaming at my mum, “Don’t wear that out! Everyone’s going to see you and they’ll take the p*** out of me!”’ recalled the star.

Callum and Dua only confirmed their romance last month, during a very public display of affection in Hollywood. 

The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other following a romantic dinner date only a few weeks after first being romantically linked.

News of their romance broke when the two stars were spotted getting cozy at a Beverly Hills party for his show Masters of the Air.

In footage obtained by TMZ, the pop star slow-danced with The Boys in the Boat star at the star-studded soiree.

An insider told Page Six: ‘It’s new, but they’re mad about each other’ adding: ‘She was at the premiere to support him.’

The pair were seen with their faces close together, though it was unclear whether they locked lips during their romantic interlude. 

As he left the party, Callum was asked whether he and Dua were an item – and rather than issuing a denial, he poured fuel on the fire by remaining coyly silent.

Prior to Callum’s acting career, at age 17 his chiselled good looks caught the attention of a model scout, however it wasn’t the big break he needed.

By his early 20s, he was back on the estate with his mum, working in a basement shop and smoking cannabis to relieve the boredom.

‘I was like a real addict,’ he later admitted. ‘I definitely missed four years of my life.’

Fast-forward a decade and Callum Turner, now 33, has seriously cleaned up his act.

Despite no formal drama training on his CV, he’s finally hit the big time and has bagged himself one of the UK’s biggest pop stars.

Meanwhile Dua was born in London in 1995 to Kosovan-Albanian parents who fled conflict and political instability in the Balkans.

She has often proudly referenced her Albanian origins on Instagram and in interviews with press.

The star also enjoys family trips to the nation – and takes part in traditions such as balancing a glass on her head while dancing.

Dua was granted citizenship in Albania back in November 2022 ahead of Albania’s 110th anniversary of independence from the Ottoman Empire.

President Bajram Begaj said at the time he considered it an honour to do so because the singer has made Albanians famous throughout the world.

Born in London, Dua attended a small state primary school and had her first taste of performing while taking Saturday classes at the world-renowned Sylvia Young Theatre School.

After spending a few years in Pristina after her father’s job as a marketing manager took them back to his native Kosovo, Dua bravely decided to return to the UK alone at the age of 14 in pursuit of her dreams of pop stardom.

In 2014, after achieving 4 A-Levels at a Camden all-girls sixth form college, the talented teenager had signed with Warner Bros. Records.

Now, she has toured the world with a No.1 album, picked up three Grammy awards, and six Brit awards.

Dua’s latest romance comes on the heels of her breakup from French boyfriend Romain Gavras.

Romain is the ‘nepo baby’ of Costa-Gavras, the renowned Greco-French director of classic leftist films like Z and State of Siege.

Reports began circulating in December that Dua and Romain had ended their months-long relationship.

‘Dua and Romain have gone their separate ways after a summer of love,’ an insider informed The Sun.

‘She has blinkers on when it comes to her career and the pair ended the relationship before things turned sour.’

Meanwhile, Callum was briefly linked last year to English model Mathilda Lowther, granddaughter of the 7th Earl of Lonsdale.

Before that, he was in a four-year relationship with Oscar-nominated actress Vanessa Kirby, first becoming involved in 2015, before their split in 2020.
