Ellie Goulding’s new romance deepens as Beau Minniear posts racy image

Ellie Goulding’s romance with Beau Minniear has moved from public sightings to explicit social posts, after Minniear, 28, shared a racy snap that appears to show Goulding nude in bed.

The singer, 38, and the actor were seen together in London earlier this month, marking at least the first public outing for the couple since rumors began circulating over the summer. Minniear’s resurfaced July post suggests the pair have been spending time together for some months, adding another layer of evidence to a developing relationship.

The Sun reports Goulding met Minniear, who has small TV and film roles in the United States, earlier this year. A July TikTok clip Goulding allegedly posted—now removed—appeared to show a man’s arm being stroked, with captions hinting at a new romance. Viewers noted the watch on the man matched items Minniear often wears in Instagram posts, and that both posted photos from the same Florence hotel before attending a boxing match together, fueling speculation they are dating.

A source described Goulding and Minniear as sharing interests in exercise and art and said they have been enjoying each other’s company. They noted the couple appear to be an attractive pairing, while a representative for Goulding did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Goulding previously confirmed her split from ex-husband Caspar Jopling, amid reports they had been living separate lives for several months before announcing their separation in February 2024. The couple had wed in 2019 and share a son. The pop star has since been linked to other relationships, including a brief romance with Armando Perez in late 2023.

The timeline underscores how Goulding’s personal life has continued to evolve in the years since her high-profile split, with new relationships drawing attention from fans and media alike. As the public tour of her romance with Minniear unfolds, Goulding’s representatives have chosen to keep further details private, consistent with standard industry practice in sensitive relationship coverage.
