Ellie Goulding teases her brand new album with the 'saddest words I ever wrote' as she moves on from Caspar Jopling split with new boyfriend
The singer, 38, separated from her art dealer husband Caspar Jopling, 33, in February last year and the pair are now co-parenting their five-year-old son Arthur.
And taking to her Instagram on Thursday, Ellie hinted that her recent relationship woes may feature in her upcoming music, which she noted she's been working on 'for so long'.
In her post, the Burn hitmaker marked the five year anniversary of another album Brightest Blue, before teasing that her latest work would be fans' 'new favourite'.
Giving a hint of what's to come, she wrote: 'If you guys liked this album I fear the next might be your new favourite… been working on it for so long.
'Guitars, bass, strings, harmonies for days, saddest words I ever wrote, best writers and musicians in the world (I am so lucky) and refusing to sound like anything else out there lol… gona be interesting for sure . But pop pop pop because I can't help myself.'
Her followers were quick to comment on the post with many sharing her excitement at her first album since 2023's Higher Than Heaven.
It comes after Ellie reportedly went public with her new love interest at a boxing match over the weekend.
The chart-topper is dating actor Beau Minniear, 28, according to The Sun and the pair attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois at Wembley together on Saturday night.
It comes after last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials.
The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account.
Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps.
They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence - before attending the boxing match together.
A source told the publication: '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.'
A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
The Sun go on to report that Ellie is thought to have met Beau - who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year.
Late last year she then split from her boyfriend Armando Perez who she moved on with after Caspar.
The musician and the surf instructor - who was eight years her junior - struck up a romance when he gave her surfing lessons as she rang in the New Year in Costa Rica.
However friends of the pair told MailOnline late last year that their relationship had run its course.
The couple met at the turn of the year when Ellie had gone to the Central American beach resort for a yoga and surf retreat with two close friends - actresses Emily Wickersham and Alessandra Ford Balazs - where they rented a swanky hillside villa.
The holiday was a break for Ellie after she had in private separated from her art dealer husband Caspar.
When pictures emerged of Ellie and Armando in swimsuits kissing passionately in the sea, the mother-of-one then took the decision to make public that her five-year marriage to Caspar, 33, had previously come to an end.
Confirming their split on Instagram, she wrote: 'In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.
'We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son's best interests at heart.'

Oasis at Wembley: Timings, travel and tour dates, as band rock London for first time in 16 years
After more than 16 years, Oasis will return to the capital. Following a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the group, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The rock band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening. Here are the timings: 2pm - The East Village Fan Zone will open, serving food and drinks. Fans will need to present a valid stadium ticket to enter. The stadium's bag policy also applies to anyone visiting the fan zone. Alcohol will be served until 6.30pm and the zone closes at 7pm 5pm - Gates open: Wembley advises arriving as early as possible to get through security. 6pm - Support act, rock band Cast. 7pm - Support act, singer Richard Ashcroft. 8.15pm - Oasis will take the stage for a two-hour set. Getting there: All three rail/underground stations serving Wembley Stadium are open. Wembley Park Station (London Underground Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) Wembley Stadium Station (Chiltern Railways) Wembley Central Station (London Underground Bakerloo line, London Overground, London Midland and Southern lines If you're an Oasis fan from overseas, you'll be able to get to Wembley Stadium from any of these international airports by train - Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Stansted Airport, London City Airport, Luton Airport or London St Pancras Station for Eurostar. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. They are playing Wembley for five nights this summer - 25, 26, 30 July, 2, 3 August. If you missed them this time around , they'll be back on the 27 and 28 September. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.

Jay-Z teams up with Caesars and SL Green to bid for huge Times Square Casino project
MEGASTAR JAY-Z joined forces with some of the biggest names in the casino business, looking to pitch a Caesars Palace Times Square casino project in New York. The rapper - real name Shawn Carter - was among several attendees to sit in front of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and bid for one of three $500 million downstate licenses. 1 The Roc Nation co-founder was representing a partnership alongside Caesars Palace and SL Green Properties and pledged $250million in benefits to the community as part of their pitch to convert an existing office on Broadway. They face stiff competition though with EIGHT applications in total having been submitted to the New York State Gaming Commission. Jay-Z, who grew up in Brooklyn, says the location was "perfect" for the partnership group and says the introduction of a casino resort would only "fulfil and enhance" the area, which he likened to huge landmarks around the world. The 150,000-square-foot gambling hall would boast 1000 casino rooms, a Caesars Sportsbook, four restaurants associated with high-profile chefs and a spa. Concerns over the venue becoming the main attraction to Broadway have been rebuffed by the entrepreneur, who insists they would only act as an 'additive' to a tourist spot which entices over 50 million tourists per year. During the presentation, Jay-Z said: "It's our chance to change the narrative and create something all around the world. "If we treat Times Square with the love and the attention that it requires, it can fulfill its promise. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I believe, to support something that's homegrown. 'As we hear a lot of talk about community, we are the community. We're from this community. 'We're not coming to compete with Broadway. We're coming to be additive. "Anything that we've done in the past, we've always included the community. We've never excluded the community.' The group's proposition also indicated a forecasted $7 billion in direct tax revenue and $26.7 billion in local economic activity in the first 10 years. Roc Nation also stated they'd supported more than five million people with social impacts worth more than $78 million. More than 3,000 construction jobs would be created as a result if they were awarded a license, and the 3,800 permanent jobs it would create would be 'mostly filled by New Yorkers'.
