Today marks a major milestone for the London-born actor, who was born on February 15, 1990. While most stars might opt for a quiet retreat, Turner spent the eve of his 36th birthday in the spotlight. On Saturday night, February 14, he attended the world premiere of his new film, Rosebush Pruning, at the 2026 Berlinale International Film Festival.

The premiere was a family-style “Valentine’s Day spectacle,” as Dua Lipa made a surprise appearance to support her partner. Clad in a daring black lace Chanel gown, the “Levitating” singer was seen sharing intimate whispers and cheek-kisses with Turner, who looked every bit the leading man in a relaxed tan suit. The couple’s easy chemistry effectively stole the show, turning a high-brow film premiere into a public celebration of their romance.
“My Always and Forever”: The Engagement Update
Taking to social media this morning, Dua Lipa shared a series of never-before-seen intimate snaps to mark Turner’s big day, captioning the post: “Happy birthday to my always and forever.” The “forever” isn’t just a sweet sentiment—it’s official. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in early 2024, confirmed their engagement in June 2025. In her recent British Vogue interview, Lipa gushed about the decision to “grow old together” and be “best friends forever.” While the pair has remained relatively tight-lipped about a specific wedding date, sources close to the couple suggest they are enjoying a “long engagement” while balancing their increasingly hectic global schedules.

The Leading Man’s Rising Empire
Callum Turner’s 36th year is shaping up to be his most prolific yet. Beyond his recent success in Masters of the Air, his birthday coincides with a massive surge in his professional stock:
- Rosebush Pruning: His latest project, a bold social satire directed by Karim Aïnouz, features an A-list ensemble including Pamela Anderson, Jamie Bell, and Lukas Gage. The film received glowing reviews in Berlin for its “unflinching and kinky” commentary on wealth and isolation.
- One Night Only: Fans are already looking forward to August 7, 2026, when Turner will star opposite Monica Barbaro in the Will Gluck-directed romantic comedy. The film, which recently wrapped production in New York, is expected to be the summer’s biggest rom-com hit.
- The Fortune: According to new 2026 reports, the combined net worth of the “Lipa-Turner” powerhouse is estimated at over $40 million, proving they are just as formidable in the boardroom as they are on the red carpet.
The Verdict: A Career-Defining Moment
For Callum Turner, 2026 is the year he has fully transitioned from “the guy in Fantastic Beasts” to a premier actor-director powerhouse. He is no longer just a rising star; he is the anchor of a historic awards season and one-half of the most stylish couple in the industry.
