Anwar Hadid and Dua Lipa are reportedly “taking a break” after two years of being in a relationship. Sources close to the pair recently told US Weekly that they were “no longer dating” since November 2021.

Rumors about a possible separation between the two made the rounds online after an anonymous source told Instagram user Deux Moi that the couple “100% broke up.” Inside sources later confirmed the rumors to People:

“Dua and Anwar are currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart. They’re figuring things out right now.”

Meanwhile, The Sun reported that the pair faced a “crisis” due to their respective work schedules and decided to take some time off from the relationship. Another source backed the claim while speaking to the publication:

“The couple floated the idea about putting the brakes on their romance last month as traveling so much and being apart is proving tough. Their relationship is going through a crisis and appears to be on the rocks.”

Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid were first linked in 2019 and publicly confirmed their relationship that same year. Their last post together was on November 2021, prior to their mutual “break.”

The relationship between Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid, and the time they spend together

The pair reportedly moved in together just two months into their relationship. During a 2020 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Dua Lipa shared that before they started dating, she slid into Anwar Hadid’s DMs after they met at a barbeque:

“I definitely did that. We actually met at a barbecue, but it then carried on to DMs.”

The couple were also quarantined together during the first UK lockdown last year. In an interview with Vanity Fair that was published on June 29, 2021, the New Rules singer told Vanity Fair about the time she and Hadid had spent together during the lockdown:

“We got lucky. Lots of being out in the garden, reading a book, and just chilling and listening to music.”

She also told Jimmy Fallon that she often performed for her boyfriend in their own studio during quarantine.


The couple spent Valentine’s Day together in February 2021. During the same month, Dua Lipa opened up about their relationship while speaking to British Vogue:

“We have all these incredible memories and experiences, and if there’s something that we want to share together, then OK that’s fun. 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 following month, Anwar Hadid organized a butterfly-themed party for his girlfriend’s win at the 2021 Grammy Awards. In September 2021, the pair were spotted on a trip in New York and also spent Halloween together the following month.

Unfortunately, towards the end of November, the duo faced some trouble amid their respective busy work schedules and recently decided to take a break from their relationship.
