Callum Turner Teases Future Family Plans With Dua Lipa 2 Months After Wedding
Callum Turner is already nostalgic about his future as a dad.
The One Night Only star tied the knot with Dua Lipa in May after over two years of dating, and has since shared that starting a family with the pop star is a top priority.
"I’m 36," Turner told Esquire in an interview published Aug. 18 of what he hopes his future will hold in addition to booking more blockbusters. "I’d like to have a family and raise some kids."
As such, the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor noted a few traits that he's fine-tuned over his career as an actor and model, which could one day contribute to his success as a parent.
"I’m more determined than hard on myself," Callum continued. “I like structure, I like routine and I like rhythm.”
While Turner is ready to dive into the next chapter with parenthood, he’s also still reveling in the memories of his and Lipa’s show-stopping wedding in Italy—with a celebrity guest list including Donatella Versace, Charli XCX and Elton John.
“It was amazing, and it was the most beautiful day of my life," the London native gushed, adding that receiving congratulations from fans to this day feels "pretty surreal.”
And the wedding bells didn't stop ringing in Sicily. Turner shared that he and the "New Rules" singer kept the festivities going by taking "the most magical holiday" to South Africa, where they tapped into their wild side on safari. The couple also honeymooned in Rome and the Amalfi Coast after the nuptials, as seen in sweet shots that Lipa, 30, shared to Instagram Stories in June.
"We both have the same thing in our head that says, ‘Run, roam, see the world, explore and discover,’" Turner explained. "We love doing it together," joking that they're both "part of the same circus."

As such, the leading man—currently rumored to be in contention for snagging the coveted spot as the next James Bond—highlighted the real gift that comes with getting married.
As he put it, "It’s nice to find someone that you love and who loves you and you want to be around all the time."
Read on for Turner and Lipa's love story, from meet-cute to making it down the aisle.

In Her Bridal Era
"I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be," continued the musician (with Turner at his Rosebush Pruning premiere in Berlin Feb. 14, 2026). But with her Radical Optimism Tour wrapped in December 2025, "All of a sudden I’m like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'"
