Despite being eager to return, the couple had to quarantine in the Caribbean beforehand to isolate as Dua is not a registered US citizen. 

They had originally been holed up in ‘a random Airbnb’ in London, after the award-winning belter returned home from her Australian tour to find her flat flooded.  

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Dua, who has just released her second album, said things are going well as she enjoys some rare downtime with Anwar.

‘I’m still in the airbnb, it’s all good,’ she told the ITV show. ‘My boyfriend and I are used to it, we travel a lot so we can make anywhere home.

‘I got back from Australia and when the self-isolation thing started to happen, I quickly had to find a spot.’  

Meanwhile Dua has much to celebrate as she leads the British nominations at this year’s MTV VMA Awards, which were announced on Thursday.

The singer is hoping to secure her first awards at the event after being nominated in four categories, and she joins the likes of Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi to receive nods at the prestigious event.
