Singer Dua Lipa has reportedly split from her French filmmaker boyfriend, Romain Gavras, after an eight-month romance.
The 28-year-old chart-topper, who is rumoured to be in the running to be one of the headliners at Glastonbury Festival this year, confirmed her relationship just weeks before a PDA-packed appearance on the red carpet with Romain, 42, at this year's Cannes Film Festival in May.
They were first seen as a couple in March when they left together from Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show in New York, days after it was reported that they were dating. They have now gone their separate ways with sources claiming that Dua will be focusing on her music into the new year. A source told The Sun: "Dua and Romain have gone their separate ways after a summer of love."

The pair dates for eight months before splittingBack in August, it looked like it was full steam ahead with the romance with the relationship taking a big step forward as Dua introduced Romain to her parents. They jetted out to Ibiza to have some time away from the British weather and met her mum and dad for a meal.
The couple enjoyed a moonlight dinner at Juntos House restaurant in Ibiza, where they were joined by her mother Anesa and father Dukagjin. Dressed to impress, Dua wore a sleeveless white midi dress and completed her look with a pair of white heels.

Romain had previously dated singer Rita Ora two years previously but was newly single at the same time as Dua had split with Anwar Hadid in March of the same year. Romain had dated Rita for six months but due to the social distancing restrictions on the back of Covid, they called time on their relationship, as lockdown reportedly forced them apart.
Following their split, Rita flew to Australia for several months to film The Voice, which would have put even more strain on their relationship if they had stayed together. Romain and Dua looked loved up on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and after posting pics of themselves together, Anwar was not pleased with their show of affection.
Taking to his social media, he posted a number of cryptic messages soon after pictures of Dua and Romain surfaced. Sharing a selfie of himself, Anwar captioned the picture saying: "Trying to not to find and kill him." He added a smiley face under the cryptic message.
