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.

Shia LaBeouf and FKA Twigs release joint statement as sexual battery lawsuit settled
FKA Twigs has settled her lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, actor Shia LaBeouf, out of court, almost two years after she first accused him of sexual battery, assault and emotional distress British singer FKA Twigs and American actor Shia LaBeouf have reached a private settlement out of court after she accused him of assault and "relentless abuse". The case between the former couple, who dated from 2018 until the end of 2019, had been scheduled to go to trial last year, but was postponed multiple times. A statement from each star's respective lawyers reads: "Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court. While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future." According to legal documents initially obtained by Us Weekly, the British musician, birth name Tahliah Barnett, has filed to dismiss her lawsuit against her former boyfriend with prejudice, which means she cannot refile the claims in the future. The 37-year-old singer sued LaBeouf in 2020 for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress, alleging a pattern of "relentless" abuse. In the suit and in an interview with the New York Times, Barnett claimed that LaBeouf, whom she dated from 2018 to 2019 after meeting on the set of his semi-autobiographical film Honeyboy, knowingly exposed her to a sexually transmitted infection, attempted to strangle her and slammed her against a car. LaBeouf has always denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The Transformers actor issued a statement when Barnett first went public with her allegations, telling the New York Times in an email: "I'm not in any position to tell anyone how my behaviour made them feel. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalisations. "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say." LaBeouf, who became a father in March 2022 with wife Mia Goth, opened up about the abuse allegations against him on Jon Bernthal's podcast Real Ones. 'I hurt that woman,' LaBeouf said, without naming any woman in particular. "And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman. I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centred, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being." The 39-year-old actor went on to add: "When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now… I need to be useful. And when I look at this #MeToo environment, there's not a whole lot of dudes that are taking accountability. I f**ked up bad. Like crash and burn type shit. [I] hurt a lot of people, and I'm fully aware of that. And I'm going to owe for the rest of my life." Speaking to Louis Theroux in 2021, Barnett said she felt "scared and intimidated and controlled" during her time with LaBeouf. "I was left with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] from that, which again is just something that I don't think we really talk about as a society just in terms of the healing when leaving, and how much work that has to be done to recover, to get back to the person that you were before," she shared on the BBC Radio 4 Grounded podcast. LaBeouf made his stage debut in the premiere production of David Mamet's play Henry Johnson in 2023 and played a lead role in Francis Ford Coppola's drama Megalopolis the following year. He is currently connected to the production of God of the Rodeo, a film set in 1967 and centring around the story of an inmate rodeo at Angola Prison. Barnett released her third studio album Eusexua in January, which peaked at number three on the UK albums chart. The Cheltenham-born singer had been set to perform at Coachella festival in April but was forced to withdraw from the line-up due to visa issues.

Fans queue to sign book of condolence for ‘proud Brummie' Ozzy Osbourne
Fans have queued to sign a book of condolence for the late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne following his death at the age of 76. The book has been opened at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which is currently holding an exhibition about the late singer titled "Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero". Mourners can also leave a voice note in any language they choose, by speaking into a red phone. Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died at the age of 76 on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family. The news came a few weeks after he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on July 5 to play a farewell gig at Villa Park – a stone's throw from where the band was formed in 1968. Tributes were led by his Black Sabbath bandmates, including Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, along with celebrity friends including Kiss star Gene Simmons and Queen guitarist Sir Brian May. Earlier on Thursday, Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi spoke on ITV's Good Morning Britain and described Osbourne as 'wild'. He said: 'He was a great young guy. And then obviously, American success got to him, I think. And it gets to a lot of us. You get carried away with all that stuff that one shouldn't. I did and I'm over it.' "He loved the city" Osbourne was also described by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, as a 'proud Brummie' who helped put the city 'on the world map'. Mr Iqbal met the founding members of the heavy metal band, formed in the city in 1968, when they were presented with the freedom of Birmingham in June. He told the PA news agency: 'He (Osbourne) was very important and he was a proud Brummie. He loved the city. He will be much missed, I think, and he was loved by so many people in the city.' Other stars have also honoured the 'Prince of Darkness' by paying tribute to him during live concert performances, including Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Alice Cooper. In a statement shared on Instagram, Cooper said: 'He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend. Rock n Roll is a family and a fraternity. When we lose one of our own it bleeds. I wish I would have gotten to know my brother Ozzy better.' Singer Drake, who was performing in the city, posted a video on social media paying tribute to Ozzy, including a picture of him visiting the Black Sabbath bridge.

Love Island star 'threatens to quit show' after reaching 'breaking point'
Love Island's Shakira Khan has reportedly threatened to leave the dating show after being caught in a love triangle with her ex Harry Cooksley and his new belle Helena Ford Love Island star Shakira Khan has reportedly threatened to quit the ITV2 dating show in scenes yet to air on TV. The 22-year-old hasn't had the easiest time in the villa so far, with the reality star struggling with ex Harry Cooksley being in the villa. Earlier this week, fans were left "concerned" for Shakira after she appeared "drained", having confessed to friend Toni Laites that there were unresolved feelings with Harry despite the fact that she was coupled up with Conor Phillips. She later ended her romance with Conor, telling him that she can't give him "what he needs". Now, there are reports that Shakira threatened to quit the show over the situation with Harry. A source told The Sun: "Shakira has been through the wringer and was already at breaking point over her heartbreak by Harry. "When Harry made it exclusive with Helena, everything unravelled and she realised she wasn't ready to be with Conor properly. She did the brave thing by ending that, but then the floodgates opened and she just didn't want to be in the villa anymore." They added that Shakira went to the Beach Hut and asked to leave the villa, with the duty of care team helping her "through her emotions". Afterwards, she decided to stay. The Mirror has reached out to ITV for comment. Despite Shakira's tough journey in the villa so far, many fans have taken to social media to comment on how "mature" she's been throughout her love triangle drama. "Shakira is the most respect, self aware, mature person in love island history, never mind the fact that she's only 22 #loveisland #loveislanduk," one fan wrote. Another tweeted: "Shakira is so real that she's willing to leave the villa without a man or winning instead of faking it with Conor till the end, if anything we can be proud of her for staying true herself but damn Harry?!? #LoveIslanduk #LoveIsland." Earlier this week, Harry decided to take his relationship with Helena to the next level, becoming exclusive with the fellow Islander. This was despite Harry offering a shoulder for Shakira to cry on over her ending things with Conor. Tonight's episode will see Shakira open up to Harry about her feelings, with Harry telling her: "I can read between the lines a little bit, but I don't really know exactly what you're thinking." Shakira then tells him that she still felt "very strongly" towards him and didn't know how to deal with the situation. "I just don't think that I really dealt with the situation how I should have dealt with it and maybe haven't processed things properly, and you and Helena being exclusive may have resurfaced things," she said. Harry goes onto tell Shakira that while it looks like he's moved on, it wasn't "one sided". He adds: "You'll probably disagree, but I felt it and like I say I haven't processed it and have tried to just get on with things." He then chats to Helena about his conversation with Shakira, with Helena asking: "Does that change anything for you?" ITV has a number of duty of care protocols in place, with Islanders receiving training before entering the villa with regards to language, behaviour and understanding mutual respect in relationships.
