Pop singer Dua Lipa and model Anwar Hadid (Bella and Gigi’s younger brother) make quite a lovely couple. They first sparked romance rumors in July when they were seen packing on PDA at a music festival and have since been inseparable as they’ve been spotted holding hands while out and about in LA and in NYC and have made numerous appearances together from fashion week in September to the MTV EMAs and the 47th American Music Awards last month.

Last July, Princess Haya bint al-Hussein, the estranged wife of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai, had asked an English court for a forced marriage protection order for their children and a non-molestation order and sought refuge in London (in the royal family’s mansion across Kensington Palace, no less). Their breakup comes in the wake of an attempt by Princess Haya’s stepdaughter Princess Latifa to escape Dubai last year. In the midst of their story’s twists and turns, theirs definitely tops the list of high-profile breakups in 2019!

We had high hopes for this one, but sadly, last January, singer Zayn Malik and model Gigi Hadid ended their rekindled two-year romance for good. Although, the pair was seen hanging out together last month so…fingers crossed!
