Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid first ignited dating rumours over summer '19 when they were spotted kissing and looking all kinds of cosy at the BST festival in Hyde Park. Just a few months later, in true celebrity why-hang-about style, it was reported they had moved in together.

They made their first official red carpet debut as an item at the American Music Awards on 24 November. While some couples might be coy about their first carpet experience in front of so many eyes, these two happily shared a passionate kiss for the cameras.

In between all the PDA-ing, they've been doing lots of other cute couple stuff too - check out the complete rundown of their relationship so far right here.


Early June 2019: Dua splits from long-time boyfriend, model Isaac Crew. The pair first started dating in 2013 and were together until early 2017 when they parted ways for the first time before getting back together in January 2018. Anwar's last relationship was with actress Nicola Peltz. It's thought the pair broke up right around the time Anwar was pictured kissing Kendall Jenner in summer 2018.

Late June 2019: According to TMZ, Gigi and Bella Hadid's little brother was the one to reach out to Dua, who is friends with Gigi, after he discovered she'd split from Isaac.

Dua Lipa later revealed in May 2020 that it was her that initiated the romance with Anwar Hadid, after she slid into his DMs. When asked on What Happens Live With Andy Cohen if Dua had ever privately messaged a celebrity on Instagram, she replied, "I have a confession to make. Mine was my boyfriend; my current boyfriend. I definitely did that."

When asked if that was how it all started, Dua continued, "No, we met at a BBQ. But then it carried on into the DMs."

1 September 2019: According to The Sun, the model and singer decide to move in together into an apartment in New York. "Dua and Anwar are spending all of their time together so it just made sense for them to rent this place," a source told the publication. "She’s always at his when she’s in LA and he stays with her in London so this felt like the natural step."

December 31 2019: Dua and Anwar flew to Miami to ring in their first New Year's Eve together as a couple. The singer uploaded a series of snaps from the night, including a sweet photo of them cuddling up for the camera and another of them sharing a kiss. The pair rented out a huge luxury villa with a big group of friends before partying the night away.

January 26, 2020: Dua Lipa took boyfriend Anwar Hadid to the Grammy Awards 2020 as her plus one and the pair looked super cute as they posed for pictures on the red carpet together.

The duo also shared a very sweet moment while watching the show together. Rather than paying attention to what was happening on stage (we don't blame them, the Grammy Awards are outrageously long), the 'One Kiss' singer filmed herself planting a kiss on his cheek instead.

Check out the moment right here:

January 4th, 2021: Dua Lipa opens up about the internal battle between wanting to share her relationship with Anwar Hadid online, while being a fairly private couple. "We have all these incredible memories and experiences, and if there’s something that we want to share together, then OK that’s fun," Dua told British Vogue.

"But at the same time, we’re quite private - we’ll only show you as much as we want you to see. It’s a little bit of give and take, trying to find the right balance of being so excited and being in love, and wanting to share that with the people around me, but at the same time not wanting to put too much out there."

She added, "I want to be able to just be happy in this relationship without having other people’s opinions."

March 16, 2021: While Anwar didn't accompany Dua to the 63rd Grammy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on the 15th, he did throw his girlfriend a low-key party following her win. The singer, who was nominated for six awards on the night, ended up taking home the gong for Best Vocal Album thanks to her epic 'Future Nostalgia' record.

Celebrating her award, Anwar decked out their home with inflatable balloons and a pink butterfly piñata. Alongside the collection of photos that Dua posted to her Instagram grid showing off the cute surprise, she wrote: "All the 🦋🦋🦋 in da world waiting 4 me my angel boy @anwarspc."

Continuing to show his support days later, he also reposted a story showing a picture of Dua holding her award at the Grammys ceremony. "Girl wonder brought one home. Let's goooo!!!

Massive congratulations on your win, Dua!
