Ellie Goulding's new toy boy lover 10 years younger - her chaotic love life in full
Ellie Goulding has gone public with her younger boyfriend as she gets back in the dating saddle. The singer, 38, is said to be dating actor Beau Minniear with the duo spotted at the weekend's epic boxing bout between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk.
Beau, who is 10 years younger than the Love Me Like You Do singer, appeared to make their romance official at the Wembley Stadium event. And the public showing came just days after she had seemingly hinted their was romance in the air on social media.
She uploaded an image of her stroking a man's arm while on holiday and had captioned it: "Just a little something to take the edge off.' It's now thought Ellie and Beau were together on an Italian getaway before returning to London for Saturday's fight.
A source told The Sun: "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."
It's thought the pair first met earlier this year. It comes after her chaotic love life to date - including her short-lived marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling.
The duo tied the knot in 2019 at York Minster. They were joined by many famous faces for the ceremony, including Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Despite having a child together - son Arthur - in 2021, there wasn't to be a happy ever after for the pair.
She was then thought to have been enjoying a fling with a surf instructor while holidaying in Costa Rica. But before that, she had enjoyed a number of high profile relationships.
In 2010, the star dating BBC Radio One DJ Greg James for 18 months from 2010. They pair had met at one of her live shows and after growing close they kept their relationship on the down low.
However, in true showbiz fashion, conflicting career schedules were cited for their break up. Now, Greg is married to author Bella Mackie.
In 2012, she dated American musician, Skrillex. The artist, whose real name is Sonny John Moore, enjoyed a seven-month long distance relationship with Ellie back following a collaboration on the song Bittersweet for the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two soundtrack.
Other links over the years include to War Horse star Jeremy Irvine. Their dalliance lasted little under a year in 2013, but Ellie later told how her jealousy had ruined relationships in her 20s, describing her younger self as a: "jealous, chaotic, frenzied person".
Ed Sheeran was also linked to the star after they were spotted holding hands. However, Ellie was quick to try to play down the pair. After the moment at the 20213 MTV VMA Awards, she took to Twitter /X to say: "I love that holding hands with my friends means we're an item."
She later deleted the post. But later that year the Shape Of You singer, 33, told a US radio station: "Normal people don't hold hands if they're just friends".
Niall Horan of One Direction and McFly's Dougie Poynter were also linked with the star. Ellie went as far as to invite her ex of two years Dougie to her wedding to Caspar Jopling. However, he declined her invitation.
Before her wedding she was linked publicly with Prince Harry. Again, there was no confirmation of any link-up after they had allegedly been "all over each other" at a polo event. It's then believed the pair had a kiss under a blanket, but neither party has revealed the actual goings-on.

'I tried McDonald's in Italy and the differences blew my mind'
An American tourist decided to try McDonald's in Italy and was blown away by the differences, especially one 'crazy' addition to the menu, and some 'really good' food items McDonald's is one of the biggest fast food chains in the world, attracting millions of customers a day across more than 40,000 locations. Known for iconic items such as hamburgers, Big Macs, McMuffins and their crispy fries, many people come back to the chain time and time again. And while many of the items will be the same, or similar, wherever you go in the world, there are some differences. When McDonald's fans are travelling, many like to try out a local Maccies to see if there are any different items, or if it tastes any different. For example, McDonald's in the US will be very different to the ones in India, where they have their own version of the Big Mac. And recently a Maccies fan from the US visited a McDonald's restaurant in Italy, and was blown away by the differences. Fashion and beauty content creator Ashley LaMarca recently visited Italy and showed off the menu at McDonald's, and even did a TikTok taste test of the different items. Ashley noted how "different" the restaurant itself looked as it was "so aesthetic", as well as the items they offered. First of all, she was impressed by the look of the McChicken Il Provolone, which she said was the "most Italian thing" she'd ever seen. She was also excited that they had same burger, but with pepperoni. And she liked the look of the McWrap Il Peperone, which is a "pepperoni wrap". They also have "loaded fries", or Le Ricche Fries Cheese&Bacon and Le Ricche Fries Cheddar, as well as "actual chicken wings". "The US could never," she added. On the menu, they also had croissants, which is how she "knows she's in Europe", as well as McPops cream-filled, which she said looked "unreal". She was also excited to see things she recognised on the menu, such as the Big Tasty, Cheeseburgers and Spicy Chicken McNuggets. However, she was very surprised to see beer on the menu, which she said was "crazy". In a follow-up video Ashley tried a peach iced tea which she said was "good". Meanwhile, she said the McChicken Il Provolone was "so good", because the chicken tasted "real and fresh". She rated both a 10 out of 10, saying it was her favourite things she'd tried. She tried the fries to see if they were the same as back home, and said they were "good" but tasted "more salty," rating it a whopping 10 out of 10. She also tried the spicy chicken McNuggets which she said were really spicy, and also gave them a 10 out of 10. But she wasn't impressed by the Cheesburger, specially as the "bun to patty ratio was way off". "It's not the best, she added, rating it a five out of 10. Ashley also tried one of the McPops, which she described as "like a donut hole", and rated it an impressive nine out of 10.

Games Inbox: Why has the Nintendo Switch 2 been so successful?
The Thursday letters page tries to predict what might be in the next Nintendo Direct, as one reader thinks EA should've made a new franchise instead of Battlefield 6. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Beyond the games Really is incredible how well the Switch 2 has done, smashing all records for sales in the US and Japan. And all with what I would call quite a weak line-up of games. Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza have reviewed well but they've not blown the doors off, and I doubt either are going to be getting any serious game of the year nominations. That's fine, some consoles don't get games of that quality in their whole lifetime, but that means there's got to be other reasons for it selling so well, beyond the games. I think it's a mixture of the idea of the Switch – the hybrid console – being just such a great concept, as proven by the Switch 1, and that Nintendo has earned such trust from the last console and its games. I do feel their lack of announcements so far is already playing a bit loose with that trust but so far there doesn't seem to be any sign of them being punished for it. People are buying the Switch 2 not just for what it can do now but for what they believe it'll do in the future, based on the Switch 1. And I think as long as Nintendo don't start resting on their laurels that's fine. Looking forward to the next Nintendo Direct. Onibee Home made Thanks very much for the Amiga top 20. I can think of a few games I would've added but not many I would've taken out, which is probably a good sign. Although I admit I've never heard of or played Warhead, Exile, or Starglider 2 before. The thing that stuck out to me was how almost all of the games were British, which I didn't really think of at the time. But now I realise that most of the games I was playing in my youth were either British or British companies porting over Japanese-made arcade games. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. I actually must've played relatively few American games in those days, which is wild when you think of the industry today, where almost everything is American and there are basically no British games at all. We can't turn the clocks back but clearly something has been lost and I agree that it's a nice treat nowadays to play something that hasn't been made in either the US or Japan. I don't know if we're going to get a flood of French games now, because of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but I'd much prefer that than another game where I have to save New York City. Columbo The penultimate ninja I recently invested into System 3's Last Ninja collection Kickstarter. I have hoped for an updated/new Last Ninja game for decades. While this collection is a way to keep the purchaser as a custodian of the game of sorts, I do think the inclusion of The Last Ninja 4 demo is proof that the game could be given a new lease of life. As Mark Cale has said, it takes a lot of time, effort, and not least money to make a game these days, so perhaps some rich individual/company might give the game a chance to be played by today's younger gamers and see what a fantastic experience it is. GHH69 GC: Oh, they've also got IK+ in there too. Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Slowly does it I have a feeling we're all going to be disappointed by the next Nintendo Direct. They have got far too much stuff that nobody cares about to talk about at the moment, that I don't think they're going to have time for anything else. We might get some new Mario Kart World content, but we know nothing about Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Rider at the moment, or Metroid Prime 4. Even if they split that off and give it its own Direct, I think next year's games are just not what they're bothered about at the moment. Maybe we'll get a mic drop teaser at the end, maybe, but I think that's much more likely in the autumn or at The Game Awards. From Nintendo's perspective everything has worked out perfectly with the Switch 2, I don't think they're in any hurry to move things forward. Grant Boomer extrusion I've got to say, that Fallout 1 remake you mentioned looks really amazing. I'm not familiar with the Doom engine it's made with, but it seems to have the perfect balance between old school and modern, and I'm very keen to see more games made with it. So-called boomer shooters have become quite popular in recent years, but they always seem kind of forced to me. But I really like this approach, of remaking an isometric game in the style of an old school first person game. It makes me want to see other games like Planescape: Torment and maybe even the original Diablo games? It would be cool, I think. Beniz Rainbow 12 I've bought and been playing recently Ready or Not, a cracking game that's just come out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It's a mission-based game where you have to storm a building/office/home and take out the bad guys. It can get played single-player with bots or online with friends or randoms. I guess it's a mixture of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six games and Rainbow Six Siege. It's a very tense game, knowing one wrong move can lead to death and a mission restart. The AI is impressive, especially the enemies who move around the maps very effectively and cause some unpleasant surprises. At £45 I thought this was money well spent – replay is high, as each time the enemies start in different places. All in all, highly recommend. Keep up the good work. Manic miner 100 (gamertag) GC: Thanks. Secret ending Surely there's going to be a Metroid Prime 4 Nintendo Switch 2 hardware bundle by Christmas as well? Which is going to make at least four different official ones. I would warn everyone though that the cheap Mario Kart World one is not going to be around forever. Nintendo hasn't said when it will stop but they have said it won't last past this year. I pointed this out to a friend who was weighing up whether to get one or not and I said to him it's not a good idea to wait until autumn because that deal could just disappear overnight. Lumpy Giving up If Battlefield 6 is as big a hit as EA wants I will be shocked. They've got four separate developers making this?! For a franchise that's always been an also-ran and where the last one sunk without trace within a matter of days? Are we sure this isn't a tax write-off or something? The big problem with the lack of new IP today is that companies would much rather flog a dead horse than just come up with something relatively similar, that has more freedom to try new things. We all know what a Battlefield game is and I'm sure that after the failure of the last one they'll try and paint the new one as being back to its roots or some such tagline. But why not just make something new that doesn't have all that baggage? What are the main elements of Battlefield? 64+ player battles, lots of vehicles, and destruction. There's really nothing beyond that, with no consistent setting, no unique game modes, and definitely no ongoing storyline. Surely it'd be far better to make something new in the same area then spend half your time defending yourself from rabid fans and the other half telling non-Battlefield fans that they shouldn't be scared because it's called Battlefield 6 and yet is actually the 13th sequel. Maybe I'm being naïve, but I think there comes a time where a name becomes more of a hinderance than a help, especially with a franchise that never quite made it to the big time. Lostem Inbox also-ransWhat I don't get with these next gen portable rumours is how much is it all going to cost? If you've got a PlayStation 6 home console and the portable, isn't that going to be the best part of £1,000. And then they turn round in a couple of years and try and push the PS6 Pro? No thank. Grondite I loved the Amiga. I would say Superfrog was my favourite game but then I played it again recently and it was awful. Nostalgia can be a hell of a kick to the head sometimes.

Pity the censor: Moderation, by Elaine Castillo, reviewed
After her America is Not the Heart was published in 2018, Elaine Castillo was named by the Financial Times one of 'the planet's 30 most exciting young people', alongside Billie Eilish and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That debut novel told the story of three generations of women torn between the Philippines and the United States. In Moderation, thirtysomething Filipina-American Girlie Delmundo (not her real name) works as a content moderator, removing the most hideous material to be found on the internet. The author doesn't pull her punches. In an early scene, Girlie has to moderate a video of child sexual abuse as part of her final assessment to get the job. (Another candidate passes his assessment, even though he throws up during it because, crucially, he doesn't pause the video.) She is asked to explain how she knows it is a young girl in the footage and not a consenting adult. The details are hard to stomach. Castillo has said that her two main characters (one of whom is Girlie) don't realise they are in a 'Jane Austen-style Regency romance'. In fairness, I'm not sure I clocked this either, at least in the first half, when a love story is barely mentioned and the pages are so muddy it is genuinely hard to persevere. In the second half, however, when Girlie starts to fall for an English co-worker, a sort of fluency develops. Good at her job, Girlie is offered a large pay raise by her company to moderate virtual reality theme parks. The frequency of rape in these environments becomes horribly numbing, at least for the reader. We are led to understand that Girlie has long been desensitised. The reasons for this are hinted at when we learn that she 'had known since she was seven what it looked like when she turned a man on'. Castillo has important things to say about the internet, trauma and true connection, but it's a shame that this novel wasn't polished to make it clearer or more enjoyable to read.
