Dua Lipa is reportedly dating Romain Gavras, the Rita Ora filmmaker’s ex-boyfriend.
The 27-year-old singer was spotted with Romain, 41, last week as they left Netflix’s annual BAFTA afterparty at the Chiltern Firehouse in London.
He was seen keeping some distance behind her with his black top hooded up as they exited the venue.
They were seen getting into a chauffeured car together before driving off after the party.
A source told The Sun: “Dua and Romain have been quietly getting to know each other for several months.

“They enjoyed spending time together. The couple met in narrow circles during the festive period and have a lot in common.
“Dua knows how important it is to find someone who understands their industry.
“She feels Romain totally gets it. They are both really creative people.”
Web has reached out to Dua and Romain representatives for comment.
Dua last dated model Anwar Hadid, 23, in 2021 before they went their separate ways towards the end of the year.
The former couple hadn’t been pictured together for six months as Dua recorded music in London and Los Angeles while Anwar was in New York City with her dog Dexter.
“They hadn’t been pictured together in six months, according to the outlet, as Dua was recording music in London and Los Angeles while Anwar was in New York City with her dog Dexter,” The Sun reported at the time.
“Their relationship is in crisis and seems to be on the rocks,” the insider added.

Romain dated pop star Rita, 32, for six months before their split was confirmed in March 2021.
After weeks of rumors at the time, it was confirmed that the couple were officially no longer together – and split before Christmas 2020.
A spokeswoman for Romain confirmed to Web: “Rita and Romain split months ago due to difficulties with their respective work commitments. They remain close friends.’
Rita and Romain went their separate ways weeks after celebrating their 30th birthday at a Notting Hill restaurant in November 2020.
The French director, who has directed music videos for US rappers Kanye West and Jay Z, began dating Rita following her split from songwriter boyfriend Andrew Watt in 2019.
The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance during their brief relationship, which included exotic vacations to Ibiza and Corfu.

And last October, the pair sparked engagement rumors when Rita was spotted wearing a giant stone on her engagement finger.
But a source close to Rita told Web: “Rita and Romain tried to make it work but they both agreed it wasn’t supposed to be. “They remain close, but it was just impossible to maintain a relationship where they barely saw each other.
“And given their busy schedules for 2021, writing was very on the wall towards the end of last year.”
Rita is now married to filmmaker and director Taika Waititi, 47, and the couple tied the knot in London last year.
