Why did Ellie and Dougie split?

Ellie Goulding and her two-year boyfriend, Dougie Poynter, confirmed their breakup in December 2015. They’d only talked about babies and marriage a few months before.

Unfortunately, their demanding schedules, as well as Dougie Poynter’s desire to make it as an actor in America, led their love connection to dissolve.

The split announcement came only a few days before the singer was scheduled to perform at KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2015.

When Ellie and Dougie called it quits, she said that it had been “difficult” to come to grips with the breakup. The singer said that her hectic touring schedule had enabled her to forget about her ex-boyfriend, and she had nothing but nice things to say about him.

Dougie Lee Poynter is a singer, songwriter, fashion model, aspiring clothes designer, children’s author, and actor from the United Kingdom. He is the bassist for the McFly pop-rock band.

Elena Jane Goulding is a singer and songwriter from England. Her career started when she met record producers Starsmith and Frankmusik, and she was eventually discovered by Jamie Lillywhite, who later became her manager. In 2019, she married Casper Jopling. The pair has a son together.
