Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid's Full Relationship Timeline

Pop singer Dua Lipa and model Anwar Hadid, younger brother to Bella and Gigi, sparked serious romance rumors over the Fourth of July weekend when they were seen packing on PDA at a U.K. music festival. Could these two young stars be the next celebrity couple to watch? Here's everything we know about their link-up so far.

May-June 2018: Hadid breaks up with Nicola Peltz—and makes out with Kendall Jenner.

The youngest Hadid had been dating actress Nicola Peltz for over a year, but they split amicably in May 2018, her rep confirmed to Page Six. The couple didn't address their breakup on social media, so when photos of Hadid's infamous makeout session with Kendall Jenner surfaced in June 2018, fans questioned whether he and Peltz were still together. After images of the hookup went viral, the actress reportedly unfollowed the whole Hadid family. Interestingly enough, Peltz went on to date singer Paul Jason Klein of LANY, one of Dua Lipa's exes, but she announced that they broke up in February 2019.

Early June 2019: Lipa splits from longtime boyfriend Isaac Carew.

The singer and model-turned-chef had dated on and off for about five years before parting ways early last month, according to ELLE. One of their last major public appearances was at the Met Gala on May 6. The Sun pointed out at the time that Carew unfollowed Lipa, essentially confirming their split, which was reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. The former couple also posted melancholy messages on their Instagrams, further hinting that they had broken up.

Early June 2019: Things heat up between Hadid and Lipa after they bond over music.

According to TMZ, 20-year-old Hadid also makes music and showed his work to 23-year-old Lipa, who's friends with his sister Gigi. The outlet reported that "things really started to snowball around early June" when the model found out the "New Rules" star had split from her beau and "reached out to her for a date." Sources told the site that the pair "went out, had a good time and liked each other enough to run it back."

Dating speculation amped up after the British pop star was seen in a video of the model's birthday celebrations. The Sun captured a video posted to Instagram showing Lipa, dressed in a skirt and tank top, laughing as Hadid held his birthday cake. Her cameo was short, but it was enough to further fuel romance rumors.

At the time, The Sun also reported that the two had already gone on a "string of dates," including a hangout in Malibu the week prior. A source told the outlet that Lipa had been spending time in Los Angeles since her split from Carew, and became close with Hadid, "who she really gets on with."

July 5, 2019: They snuggle up at an awards show.
