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.

Dr Chris Brown confirms relationship rumours with glamorous TV publicist - and shares details about new romance
Dr has confirmed his relationship with former Channel 10 publicist Lorraine Monforte. Reports emerged of their romance earlier this year, with the pair keeping their dating life so private it was considered an 'open secret' in the industry. But the celebrity vet, 46, confirmed their relationship on Friday when he appeared on Nova FM 's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie. 'You have a girlfriend Dr Chris Brown... Is her name Lorraine?' host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked. 'Yes, her name is Lorraine,' the Channel Seven star responded. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Wippa continued to push for details about their relationship, but Dr Chris made sure he shared very little about his 41-year-old love. 'How long has it been?' Wippa asked, to which Dr Chris vaguely responded: 'You know, time is irrelevant in love. It just drifts.' 'Are you happy?' co-host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald asked. 'I'm very happy. Thank you,' Dr Chris said. Wippa then joked: 'I don't want to go into details, but where was the first kiss? On the lips? In a park?' 'Wherever it was, I try to look half as good as you do right now,' Dr Chris hit back, sending the studio into fits of laughter. While the media personality kept mum on some of the more intimate details about his romance with Lorraine, he did reveal she has met his family. He also said Lorraine, who he met on the set of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! when he worked for Channel Ten, has the 'thumbs up' from his father Graham. Daily Mail understands the couple divide their time between Brisbane and Bondi, where Chris lives and made a name for himself as a vet. 'They are very happy together,' a source previously said. Lorraine, who was recently let go by Channel Ten amid a wave of redundancies, revealed this week she would soon be making a trip to Sydney. It's unclear when Dr Chris and Lorraine became a couple, but the veterinarian has always kept his romantic life under wraps, wary that publicity might jinx things. What we do know is that Lorraine is a mother to a 10-year-old son and at least one other child, though she keeps her family out of the public eye. She once used the double-barrelled Monforte-Guy, which suggests she was married at one point but has since divorced. There are whispers Dr Chris and Lorraine will walk the red carpet together at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday.

Brian Cox: Trump talking 'b*******s' on Scottish independence
Why you can trust Sky News Hollywood actor Brian Cox has told Sky News that Donald Trump is talking "bollocks" after suggesting there should be 50 or 75 years between Scottish independence referendums. The US president said a country "can't go through that too much" when questioned by reporters during his visit to Scotland this week. The Emmy-winning star, who is an independence supporter, has hit back, branding him "that idiot in America". The 79-year-old told Sky News: "He's talking bollocks. I'm sorry, but he does. It's rubbish. Let's get on with it and let's get it [independence] done. We can do it. "It's been tough as there's a great deal of undermining that has gone on." 2:13 SNP fraud probe causing 'harm' Mr Cox said the police fraud investigation examining the SNP's finances has done "enormous harm" to the party and wider independence movement. Nicola Sturgeon was arrested as part of the long-running police probe but cleared of any wrongdoing earlier this year. The former first minister's estranged husband Peter Murrell, who was SNP chief executive for two decades, appeared in court in April to face a charge of alleged embezzlement. He has entered no plea. Brian Cox is preparing to return to the Scottish stage for the first time in a decade in a play about the Royal Bank of Scotland's role in the 2008 financial crash. Ahead of the Edinburgh festival performances, the veteran actor told Sky News: "I think it's a masterpiece. It's certainly one of the best pieces of work I've been involved in. 'My friend Spacey should be forgiven' The Succession star was also asked about his "old friend" Kevin Spacey. The former House of Cards actor, 65, was exiled from the showbiz world in 2017 after allegations of sexual misconduct. Spacey has admitted to "being too handsy" in the past and "touching someone sexually" when he didn't know they "didn't want him to". Spacey stood trial in the UK for multiple sexual offences against four men in July 2023 but was acquitted on all counts. Mr Cox told Sky News: "I am so against cancel culture. Kevin has made a lot of mistakes, but there is a sort of viciousness about it which is unwarranted. "Everybody is stupid as everybody else. Everybody is capable of the same mistakes and the same sins as everybody else." Asked if he could see a return to showbiz for Spacey, Cox replied: "I would think so eventually, but it's very tough for him. "He was tricky, but he has learnt a big lesson. He should be allowed to go on because he is a very fine actor. I just think we should be forgiving."

Lindsay Lohan comes full circle with 'Freakier Friday'
LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for "Freakier Friday", the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie "Freaky Friday". Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. "It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mom and I was able to bring being a mom into the character," Lohan said at the film's London premiere on Thursday. "It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen." "Freaky Friday", with a reported budget of $26 million, was a surprise hit, making over $160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get "freakier" this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. "It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mom. There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that'," she said. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a "lovefest", said Murray. "It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home." "Freakier Friday" marks Lohan's big screen return. "It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great and you want people to love what you do," she said. "As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do." "Freakier Friday" begins its global cinematic rollout on August 6.
