Dua Lipa didn’t meet Callum Turner by chance. First, she had to go through Anwar Hadid, Bella and Gigi’s brother, and then the French director Romain Gavras. Each relationship taught her something different, and in November 2022 she decided to sit down and write about it.
That’s how “Training Season” was born: a song about dates set up by friends, long relationships that went nowhere, and the feeling of training for something that still hadn’t arrived. “I was going to write what I want”, she said. “When you know your worth, you know what you want and what you don’t want” 🎤✨
Months after that reflection, British actor Callum Turner appeared. They became a public couple in May 2024, made their joint debut at the 2025 Met Gala, and in June she confirmed what had previously only been verses: they were engaged and are now married.
