Ellie Goulding has teased her brand new album featuring the ‘saddest words’ she’s ever written as she moves on from her ex with a new man.

The singer, 38, separated from her art dealer husband Caspar Jopling, 33, in February last year and the pair are now co-parenting their five-year-old son Arthur.

And taking to her Instagram on Thursday, Ellie hinted that her recent relationship woes may feature in her upcoming music, which she noted she’s been working on ‘for so long’.

In her post, the Burn hitmaker marked the five year anniversary of another album Brightest Blue, before teasing that her latest work would be fans’ ‘new favourite’.

Giving a hint of what’s to come, she wrote: ‘If you guys liked this album I fear the next might be your new favourite… been working on it for so long. 

‘Guitars, bass, strings, harmonies for days, saddest words I ever wrote, best writers and musicians in the world (I am so lucky) and refusing to sound like anything else out there lol… gona be interesting for sure . But pop pop pop because I can’t help myself.’

Her followers were quick to comment on the post with many sharing her excitement at her first album since 2023’s Higher Than Heaven.  

It comes after Ellie reportedly went public with her new love interest at a boxing match over the weekend.

The chart-topper is dating actor Beau Minniear, 28, according to The Sun and the pair attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois at Wembley together on Saturday night.

It comes after last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials.

The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man’s arm, with the caption: ‘Just a little something to take the edge off.’ The video is no longer on her TikTok account.

Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps. 

They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence – before attending the boxing match together.

A source told the publication: ‘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.’

A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

The Sun go on to report that Ellie is thought to have met Beau – who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US – earlier this year.

Late last year she then split from her boyfriend Armando Perez who she moved on with after Caspar.

The musician and the surf instructor – who was eight years her junior – struck up a romance when he gave her surfing lessons as she rang in the New Year in Costa Rica.

However friends of the pair told MailOnline late last year that their relationship had run its course.

The couple met at the turn of the year when Ellie had gone to the Central American beach resort for a yoga and surf retreat with two close friends – actresses Emily Wickersham and Alessandra Ford Balazs – where they rented a swanky hillside villa.

The holiday was a break for Ellie after she had in private separated from her art dealer husband Caspar.

When pictures emerged of Ellie and Armando in swimsuits kissing passionately in the sea, the mother-of-one then took the decision to make public that her five-year marriage to Caspar, 33, had previously come to an end. 

Confirming their split on Instagram, she wrote: ‘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.

‘We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son’s best interests at heart.’
