Dua Lipa has opened up on feeling "vulnerable" when she is in love.
The Levitating singer shared how "intensely" she had fallen for her fiancé Callum Turner, telling Harper's Bazaar US she felt "lucky" to have found a love as great as theirs while admitting it was also "scary".
"I love love," Dua, 29, told the outlet. "It is a beautiful thing. It's a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible. That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it."
Dua added she had worked to shed her anxieties about opening up to feel safe in a relationship.
"I've spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart," she reflected.
"And so I'm letting go of that feeling and just being like, 'Okay, if I'm supposed to get hurt, then this is what's going to happen.' I have to just allow love."
She said her romance with Masters of the Air actor Callum, 35, was so powerful she felt she had to tell the world.
"I'm happier than ever, so it feels like I'm doing a disservice by not talking about it," Dua gushed.
"When you're a public person, anything that's very personal is very vulnerable. It's not like I don't want to share it."
