Callum Turner's father, Laurence Coles, reportedly did not attend the actor's wedding to singer Dua Lipa. Instead, Coles is said to have been a guest at a different wedding approximately 2,000 miles away in North London on the same day as Turner and Lipa's ceremony in Sicily.
The actor's father was reportedly present at a wedding for Jamie Rae Keeble, the daughter of Spandau Ballet drummer John Keeble. This development comes amid indications that Turner and his father had been growing closer in recent years following a decades-long estrangement.
A source told The Sun that while Coles kept a low profile, his attendance at another wedding on the same day his son married was noted. Turner and Lipa exchanged vows at the 18th-century Villa Valguarnera in Sicily, with an estimated 200 guests, including notable figures like Elton John and Charli XCX.
Despite Coles' absence, Turner's half-siblings, Louis and Clemmie, were in attendance at the Sicilian celebration.
Turner, known for his role in "Fantastic Beasts," previously described his relationship with his father as "loose." The pair spent much of his childhood living on opposite sides of the world. Turner's parents, Laurence and Rosemary Turner, were unmarried and lived separately when he was born in February 1990. He was raised by his mother in a London council flat.
Rosemary Turner worked as a promoter in London's nightclub scene while raising Callum as a single mother. His father had moved to Australia to start a new life. Turner has spoken about having a variety of father figures during his childhood, including the clubland figure Steve Strange, who lived with his mother and him for a period.
Meanwhile, Laurence Coles established a new life in Sydney, Australia, where he qualified as a psychotherapist. He later began a new family with business owner Petrina Angus. Reports suggest that the father and son had grown closer since Coles returned to the UK, despite their previously fractured relationship.
