Finally, Ellie Goulding clarified the situation – addressing the speculations about her infidelity towards Ed Sheeran with Niall Horan almost ten years later, Ouch!
In 2013, a supporter alleged that the English vocalist had been unfaithful to Sheeran, who was 31 years old at the time, by engaging in a romantic relationship with the ex-member of One Direction, aged 29. This accusation arose subsequent to Goulding, aged 36, sharing a TikTok video on Friday, December 30, wherein she showcased her dancing skills to the tune “As It Was” by Harry Styles.
“Kill it, for real,” the fan exclaimed, “but also kill it.” Goulding promptly dismissed the allegations, stating, “Not true!!!!” “I can’t believe you cheated on Ed with Niall.”
The MTV Music Video Awards in 2013 witnessed the artist “Perfect” and the songstress “Goodness The” seated together in the audience, holding hands. This sighting sparked the first speculation of them dating.
After she tweeted, rumors of a romance started. In the tweet, she mentioned that holding hands with my friends means more than just being good pals. However, following the Goulding event, the twosome denied that they were anything more than good friends. It’s unbelievable how many haters there are in the case of Lover relationships. #Whatthef*ck.
One month later, though, Sheeran asserted that the couple were briefly involved.
During an interview with Washington radio station Click 98.9, the “Run” vocalist expressed, “And currently, it isn’t.” “If they are merely acquaintances,” regular individuals don’t grasp hands, I imply. “It was happening.”
In England, at the V Festival, they were spotted engaging in public displays of affection when The Mirror stated that Goulding and Horan sparked speculation about their relationship that August, meanwhile.
Horan and Goulding, who themselves are often mentioned in the lyrics, sing about being cheated on by a fellow singer in the track “Don’t,” which was later released by Sheeran in the following year.
“I never thought you were different and it was never fun / I wasn’t looking for commitment or promise and we were staying on the same hotel floor / We were both on tour, but it didn’t feel like it / I never saw him as a threat until you disappeared with him to have sex, as stated in the lyrics.”
The “Everything Has Changed” songstress, Goulding previously pondered on the speculated connections with Horan and Sheeran in 2015, affirming that she was never formally in a romantic relationship.
Goulding informed Elle U.K. During that period, “I did have a couple of outings with Niall, but I was never romantically involved with Ed.” “I am completely clueless about the origin of that rumor and the reason it was blown out of proportion.”
She frequently finds herself being the center of attention in her relationships, which she considers bothersome. Goulding further mentioned that she is open to discussing her past experiences with dating.
Male artists over male artists, we definitely think something happens when both of them are not or have not had a relationship. Everyone is talking about this thing, but you can definitely be a great artist who can write great songs. It bothers her. She definitely feels bothered by it. She said she talked about Taylor Swift, who is also friends with Sheeran, “a lot.” I haven’t or have they dated. It’s frustrating to find that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they are associated with, so I find it frustrating.
