Dua Lipa slid into Anwar Hadid’s DMs before they started dating in 2019. The pair called it quits in 2021 after more than two years together

From “New Love” to old love.

After more than two years and several PDA-filled Instagram posts, Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid officially called it quits on their romance in 2021.

“Dua and Anwar are currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “They’re figuring things out right now.”

The Grammy winner previously revealed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she met Gigi and Bella Hadid’s younger brother at a barbecue. “But then it carried on onto DMs,” she shared.

Lipa — who reportedly split from her boyfriend Isaac Carew in June 2019 — and Hadid first sparked dating rumors that same summer. The pair were seen kissing at a London music festival in July 2019.

The Future Nostalgia singer previously told Rolling Stone that she was “very comfortable” in her relationship with Hadid. “More so than any others,” she added.

The couple learned a lot about each other while self-isolating together during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s been really great — easy and fun and chill,” she told PEOPLE. “We’ve been making the most of this because we got all this extra time that we weren’t expecting to just hang out. It’s been an absolute blast, and we’re learning so much more about each other.”

However, once the pair were able to return to their respective careers — Lipa headed to London to record new music while Hadid was based in New York City for his modeling — the distance reportedly put a strain on their relationship. The two were initially believed to be on a break, but as of 2022, it seems their romance has cooled off for good, with Lipa confirming she’s single in October 2022.

From their first public outing to their international travels, here’s a look back at Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid’s relationship.
