Dua Lipa’s Romance With Paul Klein Fizzled Out Quick (& She Got Back With Her Ex)

Even though Dua Lipa and LANY frontman, Paul Klein, only dated for less than half a year, they seemed to fall hard and fast for each other and were all over each other’s Instagrams. They started dating in the summer of 2017, according to Elite Daily, reportedly meeting at the British Summertime Festival. At one point, Klein called Lipa the “light of my life” in a caption. They spent Thanksgiving together right before the news of their breakup came out later in January 2018.

A source told The U.K. Sun in January 2018 that the two singers broke up, saying they “had a really good time together” but, as with a lot of relationships, “things just didn’t work out.” Klein did loosely comment on the relationship in July 2018 when he came back to Instagram after deleting it on January 4, 2018 (probably right after the breakup) and having his friends post on his behalf. His reason? “… My heart got ripped right out of my f***ing chest and the internet was the last thing i needed.” The post was an announcement for his new song “Thru These Tears,” which is reportedly about the breakup with Lipa. The song talks about how it “hurts like hell” but he knows it’s “gonna get better.” Despite the heartbreak, he said it made him “not just a better writer and a better artist,” but also a “better person.”
