There were also rumoured relationships with Ed Sheeran and even Prince Harry.

‘A couple years later, I’m like, “Why did I waste their time and mine by thinking it was something more than it was?”.

Sadly she later revealed that she hasn’t seen her mother, Tracey, since her wedding and claimed the relationship was ‘not fixable.’
She spoke to The Independent about her early childhood and her difficult relationship with her mother.
Ellie had claimed in an interview with The Independent that she wanted to talk about her difficult relationship with her mother but, ‘she became quite threatening when I did talk about her in the press. Discussing her was a disaster.’
Secret: Back in February, Ellie gave an interview to Capital FM via Zoom in which she recalled the awkward moment she told an ex she was in love with him but he DIDN’T say it back – but she kept quiet about her happy news
Tracey, who works for the NHS, later said: ‘I really, really don’t know what she is referring to and where the word threatening has come from.
‘I don’t know what she is talking about. I don’t think Ellie has ever spoken about me in the press so I don’t know what I could become threatening about. I think it must have been twisted or taken out of context because I have not got a threatening bone in my body.’
Meanwhile, back in March, Ellie revealed that rather than bringing ‘closure’ on her single years, getting married has given her a sense of new ‘independence’.

Ellie discussed feelings happiness and freedom in her relationship, as well as dealing with ‘curiosity’ and feeling like a ‘total mess’ while starting out in twenties.
She divulged: ‘I found so much more happiness in myself without relying on another person. I’m married now, so you would think that would be the cue for me to be dependent on the other person, but actually I couldn’t feel more independent than I do right now.’

The Love Me Like You Do singer continued by revealing she thinks it’s ‘epic’ that Caspar wants to spend his life with her and she feels a sense of ‘freedom’ from his acceptance and support.
Ellie also added that their marriage has given her a feeling of confidence, saying: ‘It’s a strange paradox, because marriage seems as though it should give you some kind of closure for something. But I feel the opposite – it feels like a kind of freedom.’
As well as discussing her contentment with married life, Ellie also referenced more trying times as she discussed feeling like a ‘total mess’ in her twenties as she tried to start out in the music business.
She admitted: ‘Oh wow… you know, back then I was extremely curious. What’s the word for a total mess? I guess I was such a curious person, but I was very confused.’
