NEED TO KNOW
Things are heating up between Ellie Goulding and Beau Minniear.
The “Love Me Like You Do” singer, 38, and Minniear, 28, went public with their romance during an outing in London earlier this month. They’ve been spending time together since at least July — when he shared a racy photo of Goulding to Instagram.
In a July 29 post to the social media platform, Minniear included snaps of himself and some picturesque locations, as well as a shot of Goulding laying nude in bed with her arm, side and thigh visible but face mostly obstructed. She liked the post and commented a single red heart.

According to The Sun, Goulding also shared a since-deleted TikTok video in July of her holding a man’s arm, and fans spotted his watch was the same one Minniear frequently wears.
The relationship comes after Goulding and art dealer Caspar Jopling (who share son Arthur, 3) announced their separation after 4½ years of marriage in February 2024.

“In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago,” Goulding wrote on Instagram Stories at the time. “We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our sons best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we won’t be commenting further. Thank you.”
She also reshared a message from Jopling on Instagram Stories: “Hi people – hope you’re having a good day. I feel (sadly) that I need to say something on mine and Ellie’s current relationship, that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear. Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago.”
He continued: “Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time – otherwise we chose to do what we could to keep this private. Ellie and I remain the closest of friends and, most importantly, ‘co-parents’ to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur. This is the last I want to say on this – and please ask that you respect mine and Ellie’s privacy. Thanks a lot Caspar.”
Earlier this month, Jopling, 33, was photographed kissing Olivia Wilde in London outside of a restaurant after a dinner date.
