Glastonbury was both a romantic and professional outing for Dua Lipa, who both headlined the festival and enjoyed the event with boyfriend Callum Turner by her side.
And now that the weekend is over, the 28-year-old pop star shared a carousel of photos from her time on the grounds — featuring a couple sweet snaps with the Fantastic Beasts actor that mark the couple’s Instagram debut.

In one of the pictures, Turner appears to kiss Lipa’s head, one arm around her shoulder. In another, the pair lays together on the grass, engrossed in conversation with big smiles on their faces.

“dancing until you see the sunrise at stone circle is the glasto ritual,” she captioned the post, which also featured photos of the singer with friends as well as a video snippet of her headlining set.

In addition to Lipa, Coldplay and SZA also led the 2024 festival June 26-30. Plus, Camila Cabello, Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper and dozens of other artists took the Glastonbury stage.

The “Levitating” singer and Turner have been rumored to be dating for months. In February, they attended a British Vogue party in London together followed by a BRIT Awards afterparty in March. By the time several fan cameras captured them holding hands at Glastonbury over the weekend, it had been pretty well established that the two stars are a couple.

Lipa’s headlining set at the festival comes about a month after her latest album Radical Optimism debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her highest peak to date. The musician has several tour dates slated across Europe throughout the summer, as well as a string of performances in Asia for November and December.

The “Houdini” artist also recently opened up about her political opinions, especially concerning her recent support for Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. “It’s always going to be met with a backlash and other people’s opinions, so it’s a big decision,” she told Radio Times last month. “I balance it out, because ultimately I feel it’s for the greater good, so I’m willing to [take that hit].”

At this point, Charli XCX should just officiate Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel’s wedding. The “Von Dutch” singer is permanently tied to the 1975 frontman and model’s love story following Wednesday’s (June 12) news that the couple are engaged — starting with the fact that Charli mentions Gabbriette in the first few seconds of her new album Brat.
On the LP’s opening track, “360,” Charli uses Gabbriette as an example of an effortlessly cool tastemaker, singing, “I went my own way and I made it/ I’m your favorite reference, baby/ Call me Gabbriette, you’re so inspired.”

Bechtel also stars in the “360” music video alongside several other internet “it girls,” such as Julia Fox, Rachel Sennott and Emma Chamberlain. In the eclectic visual, she repeatedly hits a vape, poses next to a man lying in a gurney and tells Charli to “fulfill the prophecy of finding a new hot Internet girl.”

The “Fancy” singer is also connected to Bechtel through their respective romances. Charli got engaged to The 1975’s George Daniel in November, which means both women are marrying into the band family.

Everything came full-circle, though, when Bechtel announced her engagement to Healy by posting a photo of her ring taken at Charli’s Brat release party in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. The influencer wrote in her caption, “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT.”

Healy’s mother, Loose Women host Denise Welch, later confirmed the news on her talk show Wednesday morning, according to People. “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she said. “Black diamond [ring], he had it made for her. I couldn’t be more thrilled. We couldn’t be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”

Charli and Bechtel were friends long before the latter started dating Healy in September, however. In 2019, the “Boom Clap” artist cast Bechtel as the lead singer of Nasty Cherry, a now-inactive girl group assembled in the Netflix documentary I’m With the Band.

Maintaining a long-lasting and loving relationship in the music industry is not an easy task. Just recently, Christian Nodal and Cazzu — one of Latin music’s most beloved couples — called it quits recently after a nearly two-year relationship, and after having their first child in 2023.  The unexpected split was confirmed on their social media […]

Travis Kelce doesn’t need to attend any of the several Taylor Swift-centered college classes being taught at universities across the world — he gets to learn from the master herself.
While promoting his spring music festival Kelce Jam, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed about what he’s learned about music and live shows from his superstar girlfriend, whose global Eras Tour he’s attended several times in the past year. “It’s definitely been fun to experience her taste in music, for sure,” he told Entertainment Tonight Tuesday (April 2).

“She’s so amazing at what she does, and to find that creativity to see where she likes to pull things from, and just really how she listens to music, it’s very eye-opening to me,” he added.

Kelce also confirmed that he plans on attending some of Swift’s upcoming shows in Europe — “You know I gotta go support!” — and said that the “Anti-Hero” singer’s music is featured in his “everyday playlist.”

“We’re both very career driven,” he continued. “We both love what we do. Any chance that I can show my support to her, and knowing that she’s shown me all the support in the world throughout the season — it’s just been an amazing experience getting to know Tay.”

The Ohio native spent Tuesday speaking with a number of publications about Kelce Jam, which will feature a lineup led by Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz at Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kan., on May 18. He told Billboard during his press day that both artists have been two of his favorites since high school, adding, “I think this is going to be the last hoo-rah for me this year, celebrating the [2024] Super Bowl with the city of Kansas City because of how much I appreciate and love them.”

While chatting with The Hollywood Reporter, he touched on how witnessing Swift’s Eras Tour has inspired his Kelce Jam planning. “She’s on a whole other stratosphere,” he said. “She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she does. And that’s the beauty of it.”

“I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up,” he continued. “I think that’s one thing I could probably take away: She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of, and so I’ll take that.”

The status of Megan Fox’s relationship with onetime fiancé Machine Gun Kelly isn’t clear, and she plans on keeping it that way. She did, however, confirm during her Wednesday (March 20) appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that their engagement was called off at some point last year, although the rapper will always be her “twin soul.” 
“I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” she told Cooper. “I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what.” 

Trending on Billboard

“I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,” the Jennifer’s Body star added. “Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain.” 

After Cooper observed that the actress and MGK “got engaged, then I think it was called off,” Fox confirmed, “All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred.”  

“I could see them being confusing, or interesting to people, and them being like, ‘What’s up?’” she conceded. 

Fox and the musician, born Colson Baker, first announced their engagement in January 2022. In February the next year, the couple sparked breakup rumors when the Pretty Boys Are Poisonous author deleted all their photos together on Instagram and shared a cryptic post quoting Beyoncé’s Lemonade track, “Pray You Catch Me.” 

“You can taste the dishonesty/ It’s all over your breath,” she wrote at the time, captioning photos of herself and a video of a burning envelope. 

Since then, it appears that the two stars have patched things up – although, as Fox made clear, their official status remains private. One of their most recent outings was at a Super Bowl afterparty in February, where they snapped a photo with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. 

Fox also confirmed that she was at one of Baker’s recent tattoo appointments, from which he emerged with shocking blackout tats covering much of his shoulders, chest and arms. “For spiritual purposes only,” he wrote when sharing the body-art transformation for the first time on Instagram in February. 

“He has a really special story behind why he did that, which obviously, I’ll leave for him to tell,” the Till Death star told Cooper of Baker’s new look, noting he covered up his old ink because some of it made him feel “conflicted emotionally.” “Whatever they represented — and I don’t actually know — but he didn’t like to revisit those memories of some of the tattoos that he had and he wanted to get rid of them.” 

“I think it’s really elegant and it’s kind of ahead of its time,” she continued of the blackouts. “I think in 10 years it’ll be a trend … He did it fully awake with no pain killers. I don’t actually know how he endured that level of pain.”

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have officially made their public debut as a couple, stepping out together at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty Sunday night (March 10).
Though the “Feather” singer and Saltburn star didn’t pose side-by-side on the red carpet, they did walk it at the same time, occasionally sneaking looks at each other. Videos captured Carpenter, wearing a see-through black gown, exchanging smiles with Keoghan before the two stepped in front of cameras. After they finished going down the line, the Eras Tour opener walked briskly over to the actor and took his hand.

At one point during the party — which went down just after the 2024 awards ceremony wrapped up at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — the pair snapped a photo together off the carpet, covering the bottoms of their faces with their hands. With Carpenter’s arm around his shoulders, Keoghan flashed his “Sabrina” friendship bracelet.

Keoghan and the Girl Meets World alum first sparked dating rumors at the beginning of this year. At a recent Taylor Swift concert in Singapore, fans spotted Carpenter running into the Dublin native’s arms after finishing her opening set, wrapping him in a tight hug before walking with him into the wings.

This year, Vanity Fair’s annual afterparty was attended by Justin Timberlake, Usher, Camila Cabello, Ellie Goulding, Kylie Jenner, Ice Spice, Jennifer Lawrence, Sydney Sweeney and more stars. Ahead of the shindig, Jimmy Kimmel helmed the Oscars ceremony, which featured performances from Billie Eilish, Ryan Gosling, Becky G, Jon Batiste and Scott George and the Osage Singers, as well as presentations from Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Bad Bunny and more.
