Dua Lipa's Wedding Drama: Ex's Podcast Resurfaces
25 Jun
Summary
- Victoria Villarroel's past podcast comments about an ex resurfaced post-wedding.
- She claimed her ex said he'd never date a famous person or get paparrazi'd.
- Fans defend Callum Turner, calling Villarroel bitter and jealous.

Recent nuptials between pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner have brought attention to past comments made by Turner's ex-girlfriend, Victoria Villarroel. In a podcast episode that resurfaced shortly after the weddings, Villarroel and her co-host, Stassie Karanikolaou, discussed an unnamed ex-boyfriend.
Villarroel recounted that this ex had stated he would never date a famous person or someone who frequently attracted paparazzi, deeming such aspects "corny." She questioned if he had been dishonest about his desires, especially as Turner's current relationship with Lipa is highly public, with frequent paparazzi sightings and joint appearances, including the Met Gala.
Further fueling the speculation, Villarroel mentioned her ex met his current partner, who is now engaged to him, at a restaurant in London where she and her ex were dining. This aligns with Lipa's account of meeting Turner at The River Cafe in London. Villarroel also shared that her ex made her insecure by forbidding photos on social media, a stark contrast to Lipa's public sharing of their relationship.
Social media reactions show fans defending Turner, with many labeling Villarroel as bitter and jealous. Online commentary suggests that Turner's changed behavior likely stems from finding a more suitable match in Lipa, while others point out that Villarroel's feelings of insecurity are understandable given the circumstances, though venting privately might have been more appropriate.
