Ellie Goulding Addresses Rumors She Cheated On Ed Sheeran With Niall Horan

Oooh, “Burning.”

Ellie Goulding has denied long-held rumors that she cheated on Ed Sheeran with One Direction band member Niall Horan many years ago.

Goulding addressed the baseless rumors when a netizen commented on her TikTok video from last week of her dancing to Prep’s cover of Harry Styles’ song “As It Was.”

“Quick boob check then we celebrate birthday 🤣🖤,” she captioned the video posted on Saturday.

A TikToker decided to get personal with Goulding and accuse her of infidelity.

“I can’t believe you cheated on Ed with Niall, but kill [for real,]’ the commenter wrote under Goulding’s video.

But the “Lights” singer quickly shut down the allegation, writing back: “Wrong!!!!! But also kill.”

Goulding, 36, and Sheeran, 31, first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted holding hands while sitting in the audience together at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

While Goulding denied they were a couple, Sheeran reportedly hinted that they were dating in an interview earlier that year, before admitting things ended as quickly as they started.

“I mean, normal people don’t hold hands if they’re just friends,” Sheeran told Washington radio station Click 98.9 (via Us Weekly) at the time, before adding, “It went on. And now it is no more.”

But long-standing speculation that Goulding cheated on the “Shape of You” singer spun around when he released his 2014 hit “Don’t.” His lyrics seemed to imply that he had been scammed, and many fans concluded that Goulding was the cheater in question.

“And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard) / Until you went off with him to have sex. Of course / It’s not like we’re both on tour / We lived on the same damn hotel floor / And I wasn’t looking for a promise or a commitment / But it was never just for fun and I thought you were different, “, sings Sheeran in his song.

An English publication claimed that the lyrics were about Goulding cheating on Sheeran with Horan.

“I never missed it [who the song was about]’ Sheeran told Entertainment Weekly in May 2015. “What happened was one of the newspapers in England just printed that it was confirmed when it never was.”
