Ed memorably wrote Don’t about an ex who cheated on him with a boyfriend — reportedly it was Niall and Ellie.

Ellie and Ed were linked after they were spotted holding hands at the MTV VMA Awards in August 2013.

But Ellie immediately took to Twitter to deny anything was going on between the two, claiming they were just good friends.

In a tweet written that night, which she later deleted, she wrote, “I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item.”

Ellie added: “In that case, I’m in a lot of relationships. lover not hater. #whatthef**k.’

But Ed offered a slightly different version of events when he opened up about his friendship with the Starry Eyed hitmaker on US radio show Clock 98.9 later in the year.

When asked about the rumors, he revealed that the two were more than just good friends at the time, explaining, “I mean, normal people don’t hold hands when they’re just friends.”

Meanwhile, in 2015, Ellie admitted to an affair with Niall Horan but insisted she had never dated Elle in an interview with Ed.

She said: “I’ve had a few dates with Niall but I’ve never been in a relationship with Ed [Sheeran]. I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was made such a big deal.

“I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly being defined by the men they date and don’t date. I talked a lot about that with Taylor (Swift). She definitely feels it.

“That bothers her. It’s that you can be a great artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone will be talking about is a relationship that they think you may or may not have had. It’s definitely something we both think happens to female artists over male artists.

Ed, meanwhile, explained in an interview that the song Don’t helped him “get over the anger” at the woman who cheated on him.

Ellie found love with Caspar Jopling and the couple welcomed their first child with son Arthur in 2021, while Ed married his childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn in 2019 and is the proud father of two.
