She had shared a clip of her stroking a bloke's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.'
But internet sleuths saw his timepiece matched one Beau is regularly seen wearing in his Instagram photos.
And other eagle-eyed followers noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence.
The couple then went public with their relationship on Saturday night when they had ringside seats at Wembley Stadium for the world heavyweight boxing title clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
A source said: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art.
"They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.'
English chart-topper Ellie is believed to have met US actor Beau earlier this year.
He has had a string of small acting parts in films and on US TV.
Ellie announced she had separated from art dealer husband Caspar Jopling 18 months ago amid a short-lived fling with a Costa Rican surfing instructor.
She and Caspar, 33, had married in 2019 at York Minster in front of famous guests including Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
They had a son, Arthur, in 2021.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE was the Apple of dad Steve Jobs' eye, so when the tech billionaire's youngest daughter Eve marries her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend, there will be no expense spared. Insiders said her mother Laurene — wife of the iPhone pioneer, who passed away aged 56 in 2011 — has gone all out for the wedding, with Sir Elton John booked to perform. 9 Steve Jobs' youngest daughter Eve will marry her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend Credit: Getty 9 Eve started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022 Credit: Instagram 9 Steve Jobs with his children Eve, Reed, Erin, and wife Laurene Powell Kim and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly on the guestlist and an entire village in Oxfordshire will go on lockdown from tomorrow. A source said: 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale on steroids. 'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI.' read more on eve jobs JOBS A GOOD'UN Inside glam world of Apple genius Steve Jobs' model daughter Eve They added: 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' Eve, 27, and Harry, 26, who we revealed got engaged last September, are understood to be planning a decadent, four-day celebration starting tomorrow. They are set to be joined by equestrian Jessica Springsteen — daughter of megastar singer Bruce — Apple designer Jony Ive, and Sofia Abramovich, whose dad Roman used to own Chelsea Football Club. It is understood guests will fly in on their private jets to Oxford airport this week, with helicopters on standby to transport them directly onto the grounds of the house where the couple will marry. Steve Jobs introduces the original iPhone in 2007 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation,' our insider said. 'The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday. 'Kamala, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Bill Gates' daughters, Phoebe and Jennifer, are all on the VIP guest list. 'Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys has been invited, too. It's an eclectic mix of stars and will be like a 'who's who' of the rich and famous. 'There are a lot of important American political figures going to be there. No doubt they'll all be Googling each other.' Locals revealed that, over the weekend, enormous trucks had started to slowly chug through the sleepy villages surrounding the wedding's top-secret location, before being parked up close to the estate. As well as carrying supplies for the enormous wedding bash — claimed to carry a price tag close to £50million — equipment for star act Elton is understood to be on site. 'Elton is booked to perform for an hour,' our mole added. 'He will play a selection of his songs, including some of Eve and Harry's favourites. 9 Harry made his Team GB debut at Tokyo in 2020 and won the team jumping gold himself at the Paris Olympic games last year Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Steve was keen for his children to carve out their own paths and success Credit: Rex 'A concert from Elton doesn't come cheap. Apparently they've forked out over £1million to have him perform. " It's going to be incredibly special.' Eve and Laurene didn't plan the behemoth nuptials alone, with events planner to the stars Stanlee Gatti understood to have been drafted in. He was the brains behind American Ivy Getty's extravagant 2021 wedding to Tobias Engel — where Earth, Wind & Fire performed — and has helped Elton put together his famous Oscars' after-parties over the years. 'Every final detail of the big day has been signed off by Eve and Harry, but this is Stanlee's baby,' our source explained. 'It's the meeting of two soulmates from across the Atlantic and that will be reflected in the wedding, too. 'The vibe is upper class English luxury with a cool, modern American vibe. It's going to be like nothing anyone at the wedding has experienced before.' Eve, the youngest of Apple founder Steve's four children, started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022. After studying science, technology and society at Stanford University in California, Eve moved into fashion and made her modelling debut in 2021 at Paris Fashion Week, walking for fashion house Coperni alongside stars including Gigi Hadid. 'FUNNY FIRECRACKER' She was later named by society bible Tatler as one of their 'new generation of It Girls' after signing to DNA Model Management. Eve has also appeared as a model in Vogue and Vanity Fair, and worked with big brands including Louis Vuitton. Harry, the son of London 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, was raised in Hampshire and followed his father into a career in equestrian sport. He made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and also won the team jumping gold at the Paris Games last year — with Eve spotted cheering him on in the stands at the Chateau de Versailles. The pair went public with their romance that day, with Harry later popping the question. Insiders said the pair bonded over their love of horses, with Eve an accomplished rider in her own right. She has competed internationally at Grand Prix level and won a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru while a student at university. That same year, she was ranked fifth out of the world's best 1,000 riders under the age of 25 by Horse Sports. Eve and Harry have rarely spoken about one another publicly, but after picking up his gold in Paris last year, Harry told Tatler he was keen to spend time with the heiress to take in his achievements. When quizzed on what his plans involved, he revealed: 'Go over to the States. Spend some time with my girlfriend, Eve. 'We're just going to sit and enjoy and reflect on it.' 9 Kim and Khloe Kardashian are expected to attend the nuptials Credit: Splash 9 Eve and her mother Laurene at the 2023 TIME100 Gala Credit: Getty Last month, Eve flew out to Capri in Italy for a lavish hen party alongside pals including Phoebe Gates and Olympian Eileen Gu. She shared photographs from the getaway with Harry's sister Scarlett, as well as Harry's mum Tara. The group stayed in a luxury villa during their break as well as sailing on a yacht. Harry's stag party has been far more under the radar, with the showjumper hard at work in the run-up to the wedding after he competed at the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Monaco earlier this month. Eve's siblings — her brother Reed, sister Erin and half-sister Lisa — are also understood to be attending, along with Harry's close and extended family. Throughout last night, the preparations for the big day continued, with guests expected to start touching down from tomorrow. Laurene, who founded The Emerson Collective, which invests in entrepreneurs, is believed to be overseeing events for their youngest daughter. The pair previously discussed not passing his enormous wealth down to the children, with Steve keen for them to carve out their own paths and success. Laurene told The Times in 2020: 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth buildings, and my children know that. "Steve wasn't interested in that. This might be the UK's most expensive society wedding, but there will be some incredible personal touches Wedding insider 'If I live long enough, it ends with me.' Prior to his passing, Steve spoke of his hopes for Eve in his authorised biography, calling her 'funny firecracker.' Our insider added: 'Toasts will be raised and those who are no longer with Eve and Harry will be celebrated. 'This might be the UK's most expensive society wedding, but there will be some incredible personal touches. 'The family's dedication to philanthropy will also come into play. 'It's the biggest day of Harry and Eve's lives — and they are going to make sure all of their guests go home with some amazing memories.' 9 Elton John has reportedly been paid over £1million to perform Credit: Getty 9 Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys is also on the guest list Credit: Getty Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Molly Mae hits out at viral AI video that falsely sees her endorse a perfume as she becomes latest celebrity to fall victim to Artificial Intelligence scam
To the naked eye, the video is nothing more than one of the UK's biggest influencers promoting another beauty product. But despite looking and sounding exactly like Molly Mae, a new viral TikTok video of the star has been exposed by the influencer for actually being Artificial Intelligence. Molly Mae, 26, who has 8.5m followers on Instagram, issued a warning to her fans not to buy a perfume after a fake AI video went viral giving her endorsement. The TikTok video, which has used technology to manipulate real footage of her, shows her claiming to like the Arabiyat Prestige Nyla perfume. The original footage has been overlaid with a deepfake impersonation of Molly Mae's voice. The brand is understood to have cashed in on Molly Mae's influence and selling power – encouraging young women to make the purchase. In her most recent YouTube vlog, Molly Mae said: 'When I was in London these girls came up to me and told me they had bought my favourite perfume. 'I asked them which one and she said 'oh the Nyla one from TikTok'. 'I was gobsmacked and didn't have the heart to tell her that it's AI. 'There's this clip going round on TikTok, which they do with loads of celebrities, where it's me, saying 'oh I love this perfume' in my voice, but it's AI. 'How scary. And then people are actually buying it thinking I like but I have never even smelt it.' In the TikTok video, which has been circulating online for some months, Molly Mae, can be seen admitting that some of her friends question why she shares her favourite scents. The clip, taken from a genuine vlog of hers, is then dubbed over with AI as she reveals her 'favourite one is the Arabiyat Prestige Nyla'. Molly Mae described the scent, which costs £31.99, as being 'unbelievable,' and gushed 'I cannot believe I didn't find this sooner'. The clip, taken from a genuine vlog of hers, is then dubbed over with AI as she reveals her 'favourite one is the Arabiyat Prestige Nyla'. However, in the original clip, (pictured) which was part of a YouTube vlog she posted four years ago, she actually talks about the perfume Vanitas Profumum Roma which costs £275 In the video she said that it smelt like 'heaven' and praised the 'packaging and the bottle' saying it was 'gorgeous'. However, in the original clip, which was part of a YouTube vlog she posted four years ago, she actually talks about the perfume Vanitas Profumum Roma which costs £275. The viral fake video then encourages users to purchase the perfume through a link which takes them to a check out page. The same perfume brand has also pushed out a similar video of singer Rihanna, 37, saying the same perfume is her favourite. Many social media users have hit back at the videos claiming they have bought it and never received the item in the post. Whilst many others have recognised the faults in the video calling it out for the use of AI. One commented: 'I ordered this and they took money out of my bank they said it takes 6 days to get it it. It has been almost two weeks and I haven't got it.' Another said: 'This video is AI, nobody buy it!'. 'This should be illegal, AI is out of control,' another person said. Multiple celebrities in recent years have fallen victim to Artificial Intelligence. Cardi B was targeted last year when someone made A.I. generated audio and photos of her husband, Offset, allegedly 'cheating' on her. Whilst Taylor Swift was the victim of deepfake pornography so much so that the White House issued a statement. Last year Ccelebrities including Piers Morgan, Nigella Lawson and Oprah Winfrey criticised the use of AI deepfake online adverts that gave the false impression they had endorsed a US influencer's controversial self-help course. The adverts promoted the so-called 'Genie Script', the centrepiece of a 'manifestation' course sold for $37 (£29) a time by Wesley 'Billion Dollar' Virgin. One advert used footage of Lawson chatting about her recipes and work as a TV chef. Another advert showed what looked like an excerpt from the Piers Morgan Uncensored TV show and employed similar techniques. The real Piers Morgan told the BBC at the time the advert was 'another example of a very worrying trend of public figures being misused by deepfake AI manipulators for financial gain'. 'The real victims will be members of the public who unwittingly buy these products believing the celebrity endorsements are genuine,' he said.

X Factor's Sam Callahan unveils unusual new career that's a far cry from his music days
Former X Factor contestant Sam Callahan has drastically reinvented himself and his career since his 2013 appearance on the hit ITV talent show Former ITV star Sam Callahan has taken an unexpected turn since his days on The X Factor as he has swapped the stage and spotlight for rifles and rural land. The former pop hopeful, 31, who competed on the 2013 series of the hit ITV talent show which made stars like Little Mix and One Direction global stars, has built a varied and surprising career path, with his latest role placing him firmly in the British countryside and away from the stage. The Essex native has made a huge change in his career path, moving from singing live on national TV to running his own pest control and wildlife management business. In a recent Instagram post, Sam revealed he now works as a marksman, offering professional pest solutions across rural Essex. He recently posed in full camouflage, holding a 12ft/lbs air rifle, captioning the shot: 'Putting the @jack_pyke gear to the test, with some great shooting out on the farm today. Good quality 'get up' breeds good performance if you ask me.' Sam has said that his company focuses on ethical and precise pest control, targeting small game using rifles on farmland and estates. As part of the venture, Sam has also partnered with a local butcher to reduce waste and is transforming pests like pigeons, rabbits, and partridges into food. 'Proud to be turning pest control into a real food resource and reducing waste whilst helping landowners manage their properties,' he shared in a recent post on Facebook. While this marks a huge shift from his early career in music, Sam hasn't completely stepped away from the microphone. Last week, he performed a live set at Bournemouth Pride, belting out fan favourite covers including Prince's Purple Rain and Robbie Williams' Rock DJ. However, that's not his only talent or accolade as over the past decade since appearing on the X Factor, Sam has explored many different careers. The former ITV star has worked as a personal trainer, raced cars in the GT4 Supercup series, and he also runs a mobile car tuning business around Essex. Every festive season, Sam also takes on roles in local pantomimes as he hopes to keep his performance skills sharp and maintain a connection to his showbiz roots. Despite no longer being a household name, Sam still maintains a loyal fan base thanks to his stint on The X Factor. He regularly releases topless calendars for fans and continues to interact with his large audience online. During his time on The X Factor, Sam was mentored by Irish music mogul Louis Walsh and became known for his charm and good looks, despite the fact he was eliminated after performing Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. The former singer recently got engaged to his long-term girlfriend and veterinary nurse Charlie and it seems that Sam has settled into his new and much quieter lifestyle.
