Lewis Capaldi, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter, has reportedly ended his relationship with girlfriend Ellie McDowell after two years together. Sources close to the couple revealed that the decision to part ways was due to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship amidst their busy schedules.
According to The Sun, the couple had heartfelt discussions and mutually agreed that it was best to separate. Despite the breakup, they remain on good terms and continue to communicate. The geographical distance between Ellie, based in Edinburgh, and Lewis, who resides in London, posed difficulties in spending quality time together.
Lewis and Ellie confirmed their relationship publicly in February 2023, making their debut as a couple at an after-party for the BRIT Awards. Throughout their time together, they kept their relationship low-key and rarely appeared together in public.
The news of their split follows Lewis Capaldi’s candid revelation earlier this year about his struggles with Tourette’s syndrome, which affected his performance at Glastonbury in June 2023. He expressed apprehension about performing due to his symptoms but has since taken a break from the spotlight to prioritize his mental health.
In a New Year’s Eve social media post, Lewis shared his progress, noting improvements in both his physical and mental well-being since taking time off. He mentioned focusing on self-care, possibly working on new music, and reflecting on his remarkable journey in recent years.
Recently, reports indicate that Lewis Capaldi has returned to recording in his home studio, indicating a renewed creative phase after his hiatus.
The split with Ellie McDowell marks a new chapter for Lewis Capaldi personally and professionally, as he continues to navigate his career and personal life with resilience and introspection.
