Dua Lipa Says She Is Single amid Trevor Noah Romance Rumors: It's 'Great to Just Be Alone'

Dua Lipa is enjoying her single life.

On the latest episode iHeartRadio podcast, Dua Lipa: At Your Service, the "Don't Start Now" singer, 27, opened up about her dating life while in conversation with fellow musical artist Charli XCX.

"For me, this is the first year I've not been in a relationship for a very long time," Lipa said. "It's been really great to just be alone and only think about myself and kind of be quite selfish."

Noting how she has "never really had the opportunity" to focus on herself in recent years, the singer continued, "But when you find someone that really softens you and calms you down — I think it's [a] Leo thing — it makes a big difference."

Lipa's revelation about her dating life comes about after the star was photographed having dinner with The Daily Show host Trevor Noah last month in New York City.

After fans started buzzing on social media about a possible romantic pairing, however, a source told PEOPLE that Lipa and Noah, 38, were "just friends."

Noah was previously linked to Euphoria actress Minka Kelly, but in May, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Kelly, 42, was "single."
