From “New Love” to old love.
After more than two years and several PDA-filled Instagram posts,Dua LipaandAnwar Hadidofficially called it quits on their romance in 2021.
“Dua and Anwar arecurrently taking a breakfrom their relationship and are spending time apart,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “They’re figuring things out right now.”
TheGrammy winnerpreviously revealed toAndy CohenonWatch What Happens Livethat shemet Gigi and Bella Hadid’s younger brotherat a barbecue. “But then it carried on onto DMs,” she shared.
Lipa — whoreportedly splitfrom her boyfriendIsaac Carewin June 2019 — and Hadid first sparked dating rumors that same summer. The pair were seen kissing at a London music festival in July 2019.
TheFuture Nostalgiasinger previously toldRolling Stonethat she was “very comfortable” in her relationship with Hadid. “More so than any others,” she added.
The couple learned a lot about each other while self-isolating together during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s been really great — easy and fun and chill,” she told PEOPLE. “We’ve beenmaking the most of thisbecause we got all this extra time that we weren’t expecting to just hang out. It’s been an absolute blast, and we’re learning so much more about each other.”
However, once the pair were able to return to their respective careers — Lipa headed to London to record new music while Hadid was based in New York City for his modeling — the distance reportedly put a strain on their relationship. The two were initially believed to be on a break, but as of 2022, it seems their romance has cooled off for good, with Lipa confirming she’s single in October 2022.
From their first public outing to their international travels, here’s a look back at Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid’s relationship.

I want to be able to just be happy in this relationship without having other people’s opinions.”

The “New Rules” singer also spoke about the time she had spent on Hadid’s family farm in Pennsylvania. “Wake up around 9:00, 9:30, shower, get dressed, have a bit of breakfast,” she described. “Take the dog out on a really nice long walk, maybe do some yoga, make some lunch, hang out, watch a movie, play with the animals.”
The pop star said she found it “sweet” that Hadid was a fan of photos of Lipa that she didn’t like. “I always like to ask ifhe likes a picturebefore I post it,” she toldVanity Fair. “But I also think sometimes it’s sweet that he really likes kind of ugly pictures of me. And I look at him, I’m like, ‘Really?’ And he’s like, ‘I love it.’ And then I let him post it, although I hate it.”

In aninterview withVogue, Lipa told the magazine that the “next chapter” of her life “is about truly being good with being alone.”
In Lipa’s newsletter,Service95, the music star wrote about taking herself out on a date. She recalled toVogue, “Some people on the internet were like, ‘Oh, Dua went out for dinner on her own, blah blah, I do this all the time.’ And I think that’s amazing if you do it all the time. You must be so confident. But it was a big step for me. I was nervous — like, what am I gonna do? I don’t want to be on my phone. … I want to know I can just be there for myself, you know?”
After the “Don’t Start Now” singer wasbriefly linkedtoTrevor Noahin October 2022, Lipa confirmed she’s single during an episode of her iHeartRadio podcast,Dua Lipa: At Your Service.
“For me, this is thefirst year I’ve not been in a relationshipfor a very long time,” she said. “It’s been really great to just be alone and only think about myself and kind of be quite selfish.”
Lipa also noted that she’s “never really had the opportunity” to focus on herself in recent years, adding, “But when you find someone that really softens you and calms you down — I think it’s [a] Leo thing — it makes a big difference.”
