Ellie Goulding has a new man in her life, and she’s finally gone public with him after weeks of cryptic social media posts sent fans into a frenzy.
The chart-topping singer, 37, has been quietly dating American actor and fitness enthusiast Beau Minniear, and the pair enjoyed a romantic getaway to Italy last week before stepping out together in London.
Ellie had teased her followers on TikTok days earlier with a cheeky clip showing her stroking a man’s arm, captioned: “Just a little something to take the edge off.” The mystery man’s designer watch quickly set internet detectives into overdrive, with eagle-eyed fans matching it to one Beau has often worn in his Instagram posts.
Followers also spotted that both Ellie and Beau had posted snaps from the same luxury hotel in Florence, Italy, around the same time, practically confirming that the pair were holidaying together.
But on Saturday night the couple left little doubt, making their first public appearance at a high-profile event. Ellie and Beau were pictured looking happy and relaxed as they sat ringside at Wembley Stadium to watch Oleksandr Usyk defend his world heavyweight boxing title against Daniel Dubois.
A source close to the star said: “Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. They’ve been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.”
Beau Minniear is a model, actor, and personal trainer based in Los Angeles, known for his healthy lifestyle and love of the arts, qualities that seem to have caught Ellie’s attention.
Ellie split from art dealer husband Caspar Jopling last year after four years of marriage. The pair share a two-year-old son, Arthur. At the time of their separation, she released a heartfelt statement saying that she and Caspar remained “great friends and committed to co-parenting.”
Since then, Ellie has focused on her music and her health, but fans have been speculating for months about a new love in her life, thanks to cryptic captions and subtle hints across her social media.
Saturday night’s public outing appears to confirm what fans already suspected: that Ellie is ready to move on and is enjoying her blossoming relationship with Beau.
Onlookers at the boxing event said the pair looked close and comfortable, chatting and laughing throughout the evening, with Ellie resting her hand on his knee as they watched the fight.
The new couple are expected to spend the summer together, with insiders hinting they have more trips and appearances planned over the coming weeks.
Fans of the Love Me Like You Do singer have flooded her social media with supportive comments, with one writing: “You deserve to be happy, Ellie!” while another said: “You two look so good together.”
