Stars, they’re just like us! They shoot their shot in the DMs and sometimes, they really score!
Dua Lipa revealed that’s more or less what happened between her and boyfriend Anwar Hadid after they first met in 2019. As fans know, the cute couple has been dating for almost a year now, so, that was clearly a risk worth taking. LOLz.

The topic came up during Monday night’s virtual episode of Watch What Happens Live when host Andy Cohen asked his guests, including the 24-year-old singer and actress Lena Dunham, if they had ever successfully slid into another celebrity’s direct messages for some “light flirting.” After a bit of hesitation, the Don’t Start Now crooner admitted:
“I have a confession to make. Mine was my boyfriend’s. So I definitely did that.”
Although the pair had previously met in person before that point, she said getting to know each other digitally helped moved their relationship along:
“No, we actually met at a barbecue. But then it carried on onto DMs.”
Aww sweet! It’s also nice to hear of an instance where a woman essentially made the first move and it was received well. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going after what you want, gender-imposed norms be damned!
As we mentioned, these two have been going strong for some time now. Dua sparked romance rumors with Bella and Gigi Hadid‘s brother late last year when they were spotted on a cozy Malibu date night together. They went on to make their official red carpet debut months later at the 2019 American Music Awards. Prior to that point, Dua had been with her longtime boyfriend Isaac Carew, while the model had been briefly linked to Kendall Jenner.
Looks like everything ended up working out!
The New Rules songstress hasn’t only been opening up about her relationship, but Gigi and Zayn Malik‘s, too! Talking about Anwar’s sister’s pregnancy news during a phone interview with The Edge NZ, she gushed:
“Yeah! It’s very exciting news! We’re very, very excited.”
We couldn’t agree more! And hey, maybe if things keep going well, these two might get to that step someday. For now, we continue to wish these lovebirds the very best.
