British pop sensation Dua Lipa, known for chart-toppers like "New Rules" and "Levitating," has stepped into the limelight with a new romantic interest.
The unveiling of her relationship took place at the Cannes Festival, a prestigious film festival currently gracing the shores of France. Dua Lipa, donned in Cannes glam, strolled hand in hand along the Croisette with French director Romain Gavras. While she radiated happiness, her fans had a few words to say about her newfound love.
After months of speculation and swirling rumors, Dua Lipa, at the age of 27, has decided to make her relationship with 41-year-old French director Romain Gavras official. Following her previous romance with Anwar Hadid, the younger brother of supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid, which spanned from 2019 to 2021, Dua Lipa was linked to various figures in the entertainment world, including Spanish actor Aron Piper, comedian Trevor Noah, and most recently, musician Jack Harlow.
Rumors about her relationship with the French director had been circulating for a while, but no confirmation was forthcoming. The couple had been spotted together at social events and attended the Yves Saint Laurent show during Paris Fashion Week in the French capital. The Cannes Festival marked their official debut as a couple, complete with hand-holding, affectionate gestures, and a visibly content Dua Lipa. However, her fans had their reservations.
Comments on social media platforms expressed a mix of emotions: "Dua Lipa's new boyfriend seems very ugly to me, but they look like a super power couple"; "Dua Lipa's thing with her new boyfriend hurt me, sorry"; "How ugly Dua Lipa's new boyfriend is, if he could do it, so could I"; "With Dua Lipa's new boyfriend, I confirm that we have the same tastes in men." These were just a few of the reactions circulating on Twitter.
Romain Gavras, the son of the acclaimed Franco-Greek filmmaker Costa-Gavras, has a renowned career as a French film director. His portfolio includes works such as "Notre Jour Viendra" (2010) and "Athena" (2022). However, he is perhaps best known for directing music videos for artists like Jay-Z, Kanye West, M.I.A., Jamie XX, Justice, The Last Shadow Puppets, Simian Mobile Disco, and more.
As love takes center stage in Dua Lipa's life, her fans' opinions remain divided. While some might not completely approve of her choice, it's evident that the couple is making a mark in both the entertainment and fashion scenes. As the duo continues to navigate the complexities of fame and romance, their journey will undoubtedly remain in the public eye.
