Pop sensation Ellie Goulding has been spotted strolling through the streets of London with her new beau, actor Beau Minniear, in a cozy and intimate moment that is sure to leave fans swooning. The 38-year-old songstress, who was recently criticized for her comments on protesting Brits, appears to have found love again.

According to sources, Ellie met Beau earlier this year, and the two have been inseparable ever since. A source close to the singer revealed that she is "into" Beau and they share a lot of common interests, including exercise and art. The insider also dished out details about their budding romance, stating, "They've been having fun together, and they certainly make for an attractive couple."

Ellie's latest romantic escapade comes after her high-profile split from husband Caspar Jopling in 2023. The two were married for five years and have a four-year-old son, Arthur. Since their separation, Ellie has been linked to several men, including hunky surf instructor Armando Perez.

But it seems like the singer has finally found someone special with Beau. The two were spotted enjoying a leisurely walk around London on Thursday, and photos of the romantic stroll are making waves online. Ellie cut a low-key figure in a grey hoodie and black leggings, while Beau opted for an all-black ensemble that showcased his dashing good looks.

The singer's latest romance has sparked a lot of attention from fans and media outlets alike. But it seems like Ellie is unfazed by the scrutiny, as she continues to enjoy her time with Beau. A representative for Ellie was contacted by The Scholarly Note.com for comment but did not respond.

ELLIE'S PREVIOUS ROMANCES: FROM CASPAR TO ARMANDO

Ellie's romantic life has been the subject of much speculation over the years. After her split from Caspar, she briefly dated Armando Perez in late 2023 while on a vacation in Costa Rica. The two were spotted getting cozy at a beach resort, and it seemed like they had hit it off.

But Ellie's latest romance with Beau Minniear appears to be more serious than her previous flings. Sources close to the singer claim that she is "smitten" with Beau and values their connection above all else. "Ellie is really into Beau," an insider revealed. "She loves his sense of humor, and they have a great time together."

As Ellie continues to enjoy her romance with Beau, fans are eagerly waiting to see if the two will make their relationship official. But for now, it seems like the singer is just taking things one day at a time.

ELLIE'S CONTROVERSY OVER PROTESTS AGAINST MIGRANTS

Meanwhile, Ellie has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons after she took to social media to express her disdain for protesting Brits who are opposing migrants. The singer, 38, sparked outrage among anti-migrant activists when she shared a photo of an anti-migrant demonstration on Instagram, writing, "Embarrassed to be a Brit right now."

Styling her long blonde tresses loose, Ellie kept warm under a brown and yellow winter hat, while Beau, who is ten years her junior, also cut a casual figure in an all black ensemble

Ellie's comments were met with fierce backlash from fans and critics alike, with many accusing her of being out of touch. "This absurd pedestal of moral superiority that so many celebrities place themselves on, as they look down and judge the so-called 'plebs' beneath them, is nothing more than hypocrisy and posturing," one angry fan wrote.

But Ellie has always been vocal about her support for refugees and asylum seekers. In 2023, she visited a refugee camp in Jordan to raise awareness about the plight of displaced individuals. "To be a refugee is often to experience trauma, a removal of identity and the erasure of culture," she said at the time. "It's an existence that leaves little room for dreams."

LILY ALLEN WEIGHS IN ON PROTESTS AGAINST MIGRANTS

Fellow singer Lily Allen has also joined in on the controversy surrounding protests against migrants. In a recent episode of her Miss Me? podcast, she claimed that flying English flags is only acceptable during football tournaments.

"I mean, I think the only acceptable time for St. George's Cross is if England have made it into the finals of the Euros or the World Cup," Lily said. "That is, for me, the only time that we need to see those flags." The singer also discussed the ancestry of St George, pointing out that he would likely be denied access to the UK as a migrant.

Lily's comments have sparked a heated debate among fans and pundits alike, with many accusing her of being elitist. But it seems like Ellie Goulding is taking a different approach to addressing the controversy surrounding protests against migrants. By focusing on her romance with Beau Minniear, she appears to be putting the spotlight back on her personal life.

Ellie is thought to have met actor Beau- who has had a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year

As for what's next for Ellie and Beau, only time will tell. But one thing is certain: their romance has captured the hearts of fans everywhere, and we can't wait to see what happens next!

But her comments were subject to backlash online from anti-migrant activists, with one angry X user accusing her of taking a stance of an 'absurd pedestal of moral superiority'

Ellie has been outspoken in her support for refugees in recent years, and visited a refugee camp in Jordan in 2023, speaking out in support of those displaced by war in Syria

But angry social media users disagreed with the songstress, accusing her of being out of touch
