Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid soon discovered that even their relationship was not immune to the challenges that have affected numerous Hollywood romances. Apparently, their blissful bubble burst as the demands of their respective careers pulled them into different directions, ultimately leading to their parting of ways.
In December 2021, a source close to the couple shared with The U.S. Sun that the two had been mulling over taking a step back from their relationship due to the strains of distance. “The couple floated the idea about putting the brakes on their romance last month as traveling so much and being apart is proving tough,” they said. “Their relationship is going through a crisis and appears to be on the rocks.” True enough, just a few weeks later, another insider confirmed to People that they had indeed decided to pause their relationship, seemingly implying that the attempts to navigate through their issues were unsuccessful. “Dua and Anwar are currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart,” the source confirmed. “They’re figuring things out right now.”
Sadly, their time apart didn’t lead to a reunion. What was supposed to be a brief break turned into a definitive split. Just a few months later, though, Lipa said that she’s relishing her newfound singlehood. “The next chapter of my life is about truly being good with being alone,” she told Vogue. “I want to know I can just be there for myself, you know?”
