Dua Lipa's Candid Revelations: Intimacy, Dating, and the Challenges of Modern Relationships
Dua Lipa, the chart-topping pop sensation, recently took to her podcast “At Your Service” to share some candid insights into her personal life, particularly focusing on the intricacies of intimate relationships. The "Levitating" singer emphasized the importance of open communication with partners, especially when it comes to intimacy. "Not talking about intimacy with the person you are intimate with is a weird anomaly for me," she remarked.
Currently in a relationship with music video director Romain Gavras, 42, Lipa stressed the significance of normalizing conversations around intimacy. She believes that by doing so, society can shed the guilt and shame often associated with such discussions. "I think it's important to normalize the conversation around intimacy and make it a topic that we can speak about more freely," she stated.
While the singer is now happily involved with Gavras, she took a moment to share her views on modern dating, particularly the rise of dating apps. Despite their popularity, Lipa confessed she's not a fan. She feels that the organic process of meeting through mutual friends or community gatherings is more genuine than the clinical approach of apps. "The erasing of uncertainty feels a little bit unsexy," she commented, highlighting the thrill of the unknown in traditional dating.
Lipa also touched upon the challenges of fidelity in today's world. She believes that maintaining faithfulness requires strength and maturity. In her view, modern relationships often place too much pressure on one partner to fulfill all emotional, romantic, and intimate needs. "Now people base all their happiness on one person. We want to find the one who fulfills everything — our romantic needs, our intimate needs, our need for a best friend," she observed.
The singer further delved into the concept of the 'roommate phase' in relationships. This phase, as she described, is when couples live together but lack romantic involvement. "So much of what I read about relationships these days is about the 'roommate phase' where you feel like you're living together but you're not romantically involved anymore," she noted.
Dua Lipa's candid revelations offer a refreshing perspective on modern relationships, emphasizing the importance of communication, the challenges of dating in the digital age, and the complexities of maintaining intimacy in long-term partnerships.
