Dua appeared to reference the breakup in an interview a few months later, saying, “I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt like the only kind of breakup you could have was if things turned out really badly.”
‘Things ending in a nice way was such a new thing.… I learned a lot from it.’
Dua subsequently met British actor Callum Turner, and the couple recently married.
Romain has also dated The Voice Australia judge Rita Ora.
The pair started dating in 2020 and enjoyed a whirlwind romance that saw them take exotic holidays to Ibiza and Corfu.
There were even engagement rumors going around when Rita was spotted with a huge rock on her finger.
However, it wasn’t meant to be and the couple split during the Covid lockdowns.
A spokesperson for Romain told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Rita and Romain separated months ago due to issues with their respective work commitments. They remain good friends.’
While a source close to Rita said: ‘Rita and Romain tried to make it work but they both agreed it wasn’t meant to be.
‘They remain close, but it was simply impossible to maintain a relationship in which they hardly saw each other.
“And given their busy schedules for 2021, the writing was on the wall at the end of last year.”
Rita is now married to New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi.

Despite his high-profile dating history, Romain has not spoken out about his exes, but he still hinted at past issues when he referred to love as “conflict.”
He was on the promotional tour for his film Athena, which follows three siblings whose lives are thrown into chaos after the tragic death of their youngest brother under unexplained circumstances.
When asked why he was drawn to the “spectacle of violence and conflict,” Romain told Flaunt, “All drama is conflict, you know?
Even if it is a love story, it is always about conflict. Right now I’m trying to analyze for myself why I’m drawn to these types of images, and I think it has to do with what I grew up with.
‘I was mainly fed with Greek tragedies and Greek myths, and they are extremely violent and full of strong iconography…
‘For me, every conflict has the same patterns, and whether it is current or from the past, it is essentially the same. It is always a movement towards chaos, because anger blinds everything; anger blinds reason.”
