Dua Lipa steps out in London with boyfriend Anwar Hadid amid lockdown

She’s riding high on the success of her new album Future Nostalgia, which has just earned her very first UK Number One slot.

And Dua Lipa was celebrating the major event with her boyfriend Anwar Hadid, enjoying a socially distanced stroll around London on Saturday.

The singer, 24, ensured safety came first during the coronavirus pandemic by donning a pair of protective gloves as she made the most of her outing with her American boyfriend, 20.

Dua rocked a casual yet quirky look, teaming a pair of baggy flared jeans with a cropped printed shirt.

She added a pair of neon green socks for a trendy touch, completing her attire with chunky trains and a blue Prada bag.

Anwar – the brother of models Gigi and Bella Hadid – sported a stripy top and faded jeans.

Future Nostalgia, which surpassed 294 million streams in its first week, has now exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify across all of its tracks, establishing Dua Lipa as the most listened to British artist on Spotify globally and the most listened to female artist on the platform.

The record also holds the record for the most streamed album in a single day by any British female artist.

Continuing Future Nostalgia’s success, Dua will hold 3 singles in the top 10 this week which is the longest run of 3 tracks in the top 10 by a female artist since 1955.

Speaking about her first Number 1 album, Dua said: ‘Getting a number one in my home country is a dream come true.

‘I’m so grateful for all the love and the support especially during these difficult times.

‘Sending love to all of you and thank you for everything.’ 

Dua is holed up in ‘a random Airbnb’ in with Anwar after returning home from her Australia tour to find her flat flooded. 

Last week, Dua spoke of isolating with Anwar as she insisted that ‘we’re good at doing our own things and then coming together when we want to watch a movie or do a painting and we go on our one hour daily walk’.   

Dua proved the show must go on as she appeared on Jimmy Fallon via video link, where she chatted to the TV legend before performing her new song Break My Heart – with her beau behind the camera.

She spoke candidly about the early release of her new record before belting out the hit and admitting it’s ‘fun’ performing only to Anwar.

When Jimmy asked if Dua was finding it strange, she said: ‘It’s fun performing for no audience. Except I perform for my boyfriend with our own little studio.’
