Pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner plan to marry in Palermo between September 5 and 7, according to reports from Italian media outlets including Il Giornale di Sicilia.
The couple visited Palermo last July, an experience that prompted Lipa to post "Palermo in my heart" on Instagram during their time in the Sicilian capital. The visit, documented on social media, led them to select the city as the location for their wedding celebration.
The wedding is being organized as a three-day event, with the couple reportedly having already booked an entire floor of suites at Villa Igiea to accommodate international guests. Details about the ceremony and reception remain confidential, though wedding planner Alessandra Grillo, who has worked on other high-profile ceremonies, is reportedly coordinating the arrangements and has made multiple trips to Palermo to finalize plans.
The couple's connection to Palermo developed during their summer visit, when they were spotted walking through the historic center of the city. That experience of the location's authentic atmosphere, history, and discretion reportedly influenced their decision to hold their wedding there rather than at another exclusive destination.
The engagement was announced on March 29, according to reports. The wedding is expected to be among the most anticipated celebrity events of 2026, drawing international attention to Palermo as a wedding destination for high-profile figures.
