From the summer of 2019 singer Dua Lipa and model Anwar Hadid became one of our favourite celebrity couples.

The younger brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid and one the UK's best selling female singers of all time first triggered the Internet rumour mill into motion when a video was published of them enjoying Anwar's birthday together in July 2019.

In the months that followed, the pair were spotted jetting off to the likes of London, Kosovo and the Netherlands together for some quality one-one-one time, and have supported each other during family heartaches and career triumphs, no more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, several publications have now reported that the pair may have split after two years.

After going 'Instagram official' in August 2019 and being spotted sitting FROW and London Fashion Week over the years, we take a look back at the couple's most adorable relationship moments:

January 25, 2021: Dua Lipa seemingly addresses split from Anwar Hadid

In an interview with WSJ. Magazine, Lipa opened up about keeping her relationship details private, while appearing to address conversations around her split from Hadid.

She told the publication: 'Something that I've realised over time is how little people actually know.

'I’ve made peace with the fact that people can think what they want to think, but no one really, truly knows what’s happening behind closed doors.

She continued: 'My circle’s really tight, my family and my friends keep me so grounded, and it gives me some kind of comfort that not everything is out there that would take away from your life and privacy.'

December 20, 2021: Anwar Hadid and Dua Lipa reportedly split

After weeks of rumours about the status of the pair's relationship on the celebrity gossip Instagram account Deux Moi, The Sun has reported that the couple haven't been seen together in eight weeks due to their work schedules and may be taking time apart.

A source told the publication: 'The couple floated the idea about putting the brakes on their romance last month as travelling so much and being apart is proving tough. Their relationship is going through a crisis and appears to be on the rocks.'

The last time Hadid shared a picture of the two of them together was in November.

Of course, just because you don't share pictures of your other half regularly on social media doesn't necessarily signal a split, but rumours the pair have called time on their relationship have been circling for quite some time.

During an interview on Jessie Ware's podcast Table Manners earlier this week, the singer revealed that she and Hadid share a flat together in New York City.

'Me and my boyfriend have a flat there but because I was meant to go on tour at the end of April, we were meant to not carry on our lease,' she told the podcast hosts.

'We were meant to go back to New York but that got obviously canceled because of the travel ban so we still have a flat there but I haven't been in a little while.'

During a discussion on the Lorraine show on Tuesday, the singer explained that she’s currently staying in 'a random Airbnb' in London with boyfriend after returning home from her Australia tour to find her flat flooded and adhering to the government’s ‘stay home’ advice.

'I’m still in the airbnb, it’s all good,' she told the ITV programme. 'My boyfriend and I are used to it, we travel a lot so we can make anywhere home. I got back from Australia and when the self-isolation thing started to happen, I quickly had to find a spot.'
