Pop superstar Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid have reportedly called time on their relationship after two years together.

An insider has ‘confirmed’ the split to celebrity gossip Deux Moi and the pair haven’t posted a photo together for months, something fans have labelled ‘odd’ as Anwar appears frequently on her Instagram feed.

Anwar, who is the brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, last posted a picture of Dua on the 1st November.

The reported split may come as a shock to fans, as Anwar and Dua, who started dating in 2018, seemed to be even more in love as they spent lockdown together in 2020.

Dua even told British Vogue in January 2021 that she tries to balance 'being so excited and in love’.

Check out Dua Lipa's biggest collabs: From Calvin Harris to Sean Paul

‘No Lie’ Sean Paul

Back in 2016, Dua collaborated with none other than Sean Paul to bring us the catchy 'No Lie', which quickly hit the UK Top 10.

‘Scared to Be Lonely’ with Martin Garrix

In 2017 the singer paired up with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix on 'Scared to Be Lonely'. The song went on to become one of the DJ's most popular singles, alongside bops such as 'Animals' and 'In the Name of Love'.

‘Lost in Your Light’ with Miguel

The singer joined forces with American superstar in 2017 with 'Lost in Your Light'. Miguel has worked with some huge names in the last, including Mariah Carey and J. Cole.

‘My Love’ with Wale, Major Lazer, Wizkid

American hip-hop artist Wale gathered huge stars including Dua, Major Lazer and Wizkid in 2017 to grace us with the boppy tune 'My Love'.

‘One Kiss’ with Calvin Harris

A collection of Dua Lipa's best collabs would not be complete without the iconic 'One Kiss'. Collaborating with the one and only Calvin Harris, it's safe to say this banger was the sound of the summer 2018! The tune was nominated, and won, multiple awards.

‘If Only’ Andrea Bocelli

Teaming up with this classical music legend in 2018, we were graced with the beautiful 'If Only'. Andrea has teamed up with others stars in the past, including Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding.

‘Electricity’ with Silk City

This big collab saw Dua combine efforts with electronic duo Silk City in 2018 with 'Electricity'. The duo is comprised of music giants Mark Ronson and Diplo, so it's no surprise this song was a real hit.

‘Sugar’ with Brockhampton

Released in 2020, Dua paired up with alternative hip-hop crew Brockhampton. The band are known for their popular tunes such as 'Sweet' and 'Bleach'.

'Prisoner' with Miley Cyrus

Dua and Miley was the collaboration we never knew we needed, until the pair dropped 'Prisoner' in November 2020! They'd been linked to be working on a collab since November 2019, but the song was confirmed by Miley in September, appearing on her album 'Plastic Hearts'.

'Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)' with Elton John

In 2021, as part of Elton John's 'The Lockdown Sessions' album, Dua Lipa paired up with the music legend to create 'Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)' which was released in August ahead of the full album release in October. The song made it to the top of the charts in October, and as of September 2024 was certified 4x Platinum in the UK.

'Sweetest Pie' with Megan Thee Stallion

Dua and rapper Megan Thee Stallion teamed up on 'Sweetest Pie'. This is their first collab together and it dropped on 11th March along with an eye-opening music video, with the concept created by Meg.

'Potion' with Calvin Harris

Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris teamed up for the second time, to release 'Potion' in May 2022. The pair, along with Young Thug, released the song on 27th May and it was immediately a hit with fans.

'Talk Talk' remix with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan

Following the revolutionary release of Charli XCX's sixth album 'Brat', which sparked the iconic 'Brat Summer', the singer began to release remixed versions of various tracks on the record - one of which was 'Talk Talk', featuring 'Rush' star Troye Sivan and Dua Lipa. Dua can be heard speaking Spanish on the track, which was released on 12th September 2024.

Dua told the iconic fashion magazine that even though she does post cute tributes to Anwar online, she still likes to keep a lot of their relationship private.

“We have all these incredible memories and experiences, and if there’s something that we want to share together, then OK that’s fun.”

The singer added: “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.”

The 'Don't Start Now' singer concluded: “I want to be able to just be happy in this relationship without having other people’s opinions.”

Neither Dua or Anwar have confirmed the split.

Say it isn’t so! 💔
