Before they dated, Dua Lipa’s fiancé thought she was ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’

And the other rule is that it’s never not worth it — that’s our slogan.”</p><p>”If you can go [to be with each other] for two days, just f****** go. And if you’re tired, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to have a nice time and have a nice memory.”</p><p>As for how being half of a famous couple has changed his life, Turner laughs, “I get more Dua Lipa fans asking me for selfies now that we’re together.
