Ellie Goulding is reportedly getting close to personal trainer Bobby Rich, who has trained the likes of Guy Ritchie and David Beckham. However, sources are claiming she is still single, but the chances of them starting a relationship look “very promising.”

An insider shared with the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “[Ellie and Bobby] are getting on very well. Ellie is still single. They’re very close and both very keen on personal fitness and get on well with each other’s friends too, so it looks very promising.”

But Bobby will have to really prove himself if he hopes to win over the Still Falling For You hitmaker. Her former beau, Dougie Poynter, insists they still “love each other very much” despite breaking up earlier this year.

He said at the time: “We love each other very much. We are the best of friends. We hung out at Coachella, like all day, with her friends and my friends. It was really, really cool. Everything is totally fine. It’s just both being all over the place. Like I said, we still get on really well. She’s one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. But just right now, it’s hard. I’m single now.”

Likewise, Ellie had previously admitted she felt their relationship is still “unfinished” and she is subtly hoping their romance would continue in the future.

She explained: “We have something I know is special and I think other people see it – my friends see it; my family see it … But I think some things are just kind of unfinished, an unfinished story. I hope so – he’s a real gem and he’s doing so well and he’s keeping busy, as am I. I hope so, he’s a great guy.”
