What was meant to be a beautiful night for Dua Lipa and her fiancé, Callum Turner, quickly turned into a tense confrontation with paparazzi.
The “Levitating” hitmaker and the British actor sparked relationship rumors in January 2024, when they were seen getting cozy.
Though they have kept their relationship private, Lipa confirmed last year that they were a couple and were planning a wedding.
While the couple has been seen out together on occasion, their most recent outing in Paris took an unexpected turn, transforming into a chaotic ordeal.

The “New Rules” singer Turner’s romantic evening at Le Voltaire restaurant was cut short when photographers crowded the restaurant's exit, turning their departure into a frenzy.
A video of the encounter, later shared on X, showed the pair visibly distressed. The clip opened up with Turner visibly frustrated as he spoke to someone off-camera, repeatedly insisting, "It's not okay."
Moments later, Lipa steps out of the restaurant and begins walking away, holding Turner's hand with one hand and shielding her face with the other.
Dressed casually in a fur coat layered over a green cropped top and black trousers, the singer made it clear she has no interest in engaging with the photographers.
"No, no, we're not doing this," she says firmly while covering her face. However, her pleas were ignored. "Dua, just give us one minute and we'll leave you alone," one voice called out, while another demanded, "Show us your face."
The singer and her beau, frustrated over the hounding, then walked in the opposite direction, but that didn’t stop the paparazzi from chasing after them.
The couple kept on walking, and Lipa almost bumped into a pole. She then begs, “Can you please go away?” but another voice demands, “Give us some pictures.”
Fans Defend Dua Lipa And Callum Turner Against Paparazzi Confrontation

As expected, the clip went mainstream, and many of the singer’s fans rushed to her defense, labelling the photographers’ actions as harassment.
One X user wrote, “Never seen her this mad... they must've been following them around all freaking day.” Another suggested that the singer’s anger was valid, as they would be annoyed with flashlights going off in their face.
A third individual remarked, “This is actually exhausting to watch. They said no, multiple times, and still got swarmed and physically pushed.”
This fan wrote that celebrity pushback like this "needs to become the norm," while another agreed the couple was right to defend their privacy, calling the paparazzi's behavior over the line.

Lipa and Turner have largely been lowkey about their romance, sharing only small glimpses. In June last year, Lipa confirmed they were engaged and soon to walk down the aisle.
At that time, the 29-year-old gushed about the feeling, calling it “exciting,” and noting she did not exactly grasp its significance until she experienced it.
"This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling," the singer shared, per The Blast.

"I'd love to have kids one day," Dua Lipa admitted, per The Blast, adding that figuring out the right moment is what weighs on her mind, considering her career.
