Ellie Goulding has finally opened up about rumours that she once dated Niall Horan and cheated on pal Ed Sheeran with the One Direction star.
Rumours emerged last year that claimed the singer had a romance with Niall Horan while she was in a relationship with Ed.
Now Ellie has attempted to put the reports to bed once and for all.
She’s revealed that although she DID have a fling with Niall, she never dated Ed, who was rumoured to have written his smash hit Don’t about the love triangle.
“I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed [Sheeran],” she told the latest issue of Elle, which is on sale June 4.
“I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.”
She went on to share her frustration over the media ‘defining’ female singers by the men they are spotted with.
“I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they have or haven’t dated.
“It’s something I’ve talked about with Taylor Swift a lot. She definitely feels that. She gets bothered by it.
“It’s like, you can be a great artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone is going to talk about is some relationship they think you have had or not had.
“It’s definitely something we both think happens to female artists over male artists.”
Thankfully, all the rumours are behind her now she’s dating gorgeous McBusted drummer Dougie Poynter.
She recently shared a cheeky half-naked snap of the boyband star on Instagram, which you NEED to see.

That is actually interesting… I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with a friend who decides to date my ex, and is super close to my other “non-boyfriend”.
