The younger brother of supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid sent the Internet into meltdown last year when photos of Anwar Hadid looking cosy with pop superstar Dua Lipa were published over the summer.

Predictably, the Internet rumour mill went into meltdown over photos of the hot couple before they pair went public with their romance in July ahead of going red carpet official at New York Fashion Week later on in the year.

They pair were pictured looking all loved-up at the MTV EMAs in Seville in November, and in true celebrity style have already reportedly been looking to move in together after only a few months of dating.

Here's the lowdown on the pair's relationship.

When did they start dating?

The pair started to become linked in June last year after Lipa split from her long-term boyfried Isaac Carew, who she dated from 2013-2017.

In late June, speculation hit fever pitch when The Sun published a video showing Lipa celebrating Hadid's birthday, with the newspaper reporting they had gone on a number of dates.

Hadid and Lipa then went public with their romance in July, when they were spotted getting cozy at the Nordoff Robbins 02 Silver Clef Awards and then at the BST music festival in Hyde Park.

They made a number of trips abroad together in August and September (including to Lipa's birthplace of Kosovo and to Hadid's grandmother's funeral in the Netherlands) before they made their first appearance at New York Fashion Week together in September, when they attended the Marc Jacobs catwalk show together.

According to The Sun, the pair then move in together into an apartment in New York. The musician is then thought to have been welcomed into Hadid's famous family, and in October was pictured attending a series of family events including Bella's 23rd birthday party.

And then the pair packed on the PDAs during November's MTV EMA's in Seville, where they were photographed kissing and cuddling while watching the rest of the show.

Their relationship appears to go from strength to strength later on in the month, after they make their red carpet debut as a couple at the American Music Awards - and they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Lipa and Hadid appear to have spent Christmas together, when the singer posted a series of photos on Instagram of her and her beau walking towards a private jet.

Who has Anwar Hadid dated in the past?

Lipa isn't his first brush with dating fame - thanks to his famous family connections, he's reportedly stepped out with Sofia Richie back in 2016 and kissed Kendall Jenner at a New York City after party.

His most recent long-term relationship was with Transformers star Nicola Petz, who he dated for a year and a half. Petz is now going out with Brooklyn Beckham.

Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past?

Lipa dated chef and model Isaac Crews from 2013-2017 before they decided to call time on their relationship.

The pair rekindled their romance in 2018 and attended the Met Gala together in May last year, before they split in June.

For around five months from 2017-2018 Lipa dated musician Paul Klein, and was spotted kissing Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in 2017.
