‘Back in my natural habitat’: Dua Lipa cuddles up with dog Dexter before heading to the recording studio after returning to London


She has spent much of lockdown in the US with boyfriend Anwar Hadid.

And Dua Lipa was back on British soil on Wednesday as she shared a series of Instagram snaps of herself including a snap of her cuddling up to her beloved pooch Dexter.

The New Rules hitmaker, 25, was also seen back in a recording studio as she documented her return to London, with Dua captioning her images: ‘+44 back in my natural habitat.’

Dua appeared thrilled to be back in her hometown as she posed for snaps in a colourful outfit.

The star slipped into pink, white and orange padded jacket worn over a pink T-shirt, which she paired with white jeans.

Dua added a bright yellow sports cap to her look and pair of cow print clogs as she posed up a storm and flashed her midriff.

So taken with her outfit, she even snapped her reflection in the window of a car as she stood outside.

The Don’t Start Now singer was clearly glad to be home as she cosied up to her rescue dog before seemingly preparing to make new music. 

Last month, the singer was revealed to have been nominated for three categories at the BRIT awards; Female Solo Artist, Mastercard Album, and British Single.

Dua will also take to the stage at the highly-anticipated music event which will be broadcast on May 11 from The O2 arena.  

The pop star has had lots to celebrate in recent months after her hit album Future Nostalgia won best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys.

Dua’s album Future Nostalgia was released in March 2020 after being brought forward by one week following leaks online.

Since its release, the hit record has been nominated for six Grammys – winning one – and produced songs including Levitating, Physical and Don’t Start Now.

Speaking about releasing an album amid the pandemic with Music Week, Dua admitted: ‘I was definitely scared, because there’s always that uncertainty.  

‘I put it out just as lockdown was happening in the UK and there was so much uncertainty and suffering, it was a very confusing time.

‘The thing that made me want to put it out at this time is that I made this record as a form of escapism, to get away from any pressures or words from other people.’ 

The pop singer was recently reported to be worth more than £20million through her two companies.

Filings shared online at Companies House have revealed her company Dua Lipa Limited has assets of £18,576,940 for the year end December 2019 — an impressive rise from £11,816,318 the previous year.

The higher total also included investments of £8,340,904, while accounts for Dua Lipa Live LLP, had a whopping almost £2million more on the books, reports The Sun.

MailOnline contacted Dua Lipa’s representatives for comment at the time.
