Dua Lipa packs on PDA for red carpet debut with Rita Ora's ex Romain Gavras

Singer Dua Lipa put on a sultry display and PDA as she and new boyfriend Romain Gavras made their first red carpet appearance together.

Film mogul Romain, who previously dated Rita Ora for six months in 2021, and One Kiss singer Dua looked smitten as they posed at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday (19 May).

The pair have been previously spotted together with rumours speculating they may be an item but they only officially confirmed they are dating in March. The pair are believed to have met last year, and spent time together over Christmas and New Year.

The confirmation on their romance comes after the pair were spotted leaving a post-BAFTAs party together.

Standing together on the red carpet, the couple matched in black with Dua wearing a full length dress featuring flesh flashing cut outs and a daring thigh split. Boyfriend Romain wore a black and white tux as he kept his hand on Dua's back as they posed for pictures at the event.

Throughout the red carpet appearance the couple could barely keep their hands off each other with Dua placing her hands on Romain's chest in a flirty display of affection.

Dua had previously been single since 2021 after she split from model boyfriend Anwar Hadid, and Romain split from Rita in March 2021 and has had previous romances with other music stars including M.I.A.

Romain and Rita cited differing work schedules for the reason for their split, with Rita filming The Voice Australia. Rita wed partner and movie director Taika Waititi in a secret ceremony last year.

Earlier this year the pair were rumoured to be together as a source speaking to The Sun said: "Dua and Romain have been quietly getting to know each other for several months. They have been enjoying spending time together. The pair met each other’s close circles over the festive period and have lots in common.

"Dua knows how important it is to find someone who understands her industry. She feels Romain totally gets it. They’re both really creative people."

Rumours began swirling about the couple after the pair were pictured leaving a post-BAFTAs party at London's Chiltern Fire House in the early hours of Monday, before getting into the same chauffeur driven car together.
