Late in 2022, Lewis released new song 'Pointless' which is about being with someone who 'brings him inner peace', reports the Daily Record.
When he first leaked the tune, Lewis said: "When everything’s pointless, there’s one person that makes it all worthwhile."
And now we have the answer everyone has been asking - who is Lewis Capaldi's new girlfriend? Read on below to find out more about the Edinburgh-born model and actress that has Mr Capaldi head over heels.
Who is Lewis Capaldi's girlfriend?
Ellie MacDowall is a 23-year-old actress and model from Edinburgh. Ellie is also a dancer, and graduated from the city's MGA Academy of performing arts back in 2020.
On her social media, Ellie has shared some impressive videos of her spinning around, and also has a YouTube channel where she shows off her skills. It's also been reported that the actress has landed the role of Cary Grant’s daughter Jennifer in new ITV biopic, Archie.
The drama will share secrets about the Hollywood stars life, and is set to air on ITVX later on in 2023. While a grid post hasn't been shared on Instagram yet, Ellie recently created a highlight reel named '23' on the site, where she has posted snippets of the pair's relationship.
Recent Instagram stories show her supporting Lewis at his gigs in Glasgow and Belfast, a boating date, and also watching a rugby match together.
When did the rumours first begin?
The pair first hinted that they were a couple back in November, after Lewis and Ellie were spotted at a hotel in London. These rumours also seemed to be true when Lewis posted about a romantic hike on New Year's Eve.
Lewis shared a series of snaps and videos on his Instagram story of him and Ellie wrapped up warm and taking in the stunning views of Ben Hogh in Coll.
Lewis spoke to the camera after this walk, as it was in aid for charity. He said: "Hello there, It's Lewis Capaldi here, I've just climbed up this big f*** off hill at Ben Hogh in Isle of Coll in support of Doddie Aid. You can also join me, I'll be logging my big walk on the app."
After their loved-up show at the Brit Awards, it has been made pretty clear that the pair are together. A source told The Sun: "They sat on the sofa kissing and talking for awhile before Lewis headed off to the dance floor.
"He was throwing some serious shapes to Hot Chocolate’s You Sexy Thing at one point while Ellie just looked on smiling. They make a lovely couple."
