Dua Lipa revealed she is isolating with her boyfriend Anwar Hadid in London.
The 24-year-old singer had an interview with Good Morning Britain on Wednesday where she talked about her love life and other things.
She said: “Both my boyfriend and I are quite used to making anywhere a home. We travel a lot, so this is fine. It’s been really, really good. We’re good at doing our things, then coming together when we want to watch a movie, or play a game, or do some painting, or go on our one daily walk.”
She told that she had to find a place to stay when this self-isolation and lockdown started. “When the self-isolation thing started to happen, then I kind of quickly had to find a spot,” she explained.
Dua also opened up about her new album which was released on March 27 saying that she hopes she would be able to distract people with all the unfortunate things happening in the world through her song.
“This is probably a weird time to put music out, so I hope it takes your mind off whatever is going on in the background and outside and gives you a moment of joy,” she said.
Dua has also released her new single “Break My Heart,” as she announced the news to her fans on Instagram. “Basically, I had my family and friends and we all organized [to] get on Zoom at 9:30 in the evening, had a drink and just catch-up and chat, which actually worked really, really well,” she said.
Just like everyone else, Dua also gets emotionally exhausted during this quarantine period. She revealed how she keeps staying in touch with her loved ones via FaceTime, Zoom and phone calls as she said it, “always gives you a bit of clarity and calm.”
“Some days are just a little bit harder than the others,” said Dua, whose family left Kosovo during the Balkan War to start a new life in London. “Some days go by quickly and some days you’re like, ‘When is this going to end?’”
“You have to allow yourself to feel all these things, all these feelings are completely valid. Just talking to your friends a little bit and whoever you with at home, sharing your experience to make it a lot easier.”
Dua said she is now making time to call those family members whom she hadn’t talked from a long time due to her busy schedule and travelling.
“I think, ‘Now is the time to make all those calls that you’ve been putting on the backburner.’ There are family members all over the world that I haven’t had a chance to call and talk to because I’ve been so busy promoting the record and traveling, whereas now I have so much time I’ve just been making all those phone calls and catching up with everyone, so that’s been really lovely,’’ she added.
She talked about the changes in the environment which are clearly visible after the lockdown has started as many people are in their homes and there are no signs of air pollution or noises on the streets.
“We’re all maybe learning to take a little step back,” she said. “For my job, for example, it’s always like, Where am I going? What am I doing next? Where am I flying to? I think this kind of shows that things don’t need to be so urgent. It’s shown a lot of people that a lot of those meetings can just be an email.”
She added: “For our planet too, I think we’re seeing the importance of taking things a little slower and protecting our planet because we’re indoors but we’re seeing blue skies and the blossoms have come early. We are seeing changes all around the world and maybe this is just a wake-up call to really start protecting our planet a little bit.”
