And it seems Ellie and Armando’s blossoming relationship started weeks ago, with them both dropping hints on social media.
Love Me Like You Do hitmaker Ellie posted a snap of her in Costa Rica in January.
And Armando shared a photo showing the same backdrop – minus Ellie – on the same day.
Tellingly, Ellie also liked Armando’s snap after he posted it on Instagram.
A source said: “Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other.
“They share a lot of interests including their love of nature and the ocean.
“Armando runs a surf school on the beach with his brother and he has been giving Ellie lessons.”
The Sun previously told how Ellie and her art dealer husband Casper were taking time apart.
They began dating in 2017 and married two years later after a 12-month engagement, welcoming their son Arthur in 2021.
A source at the time said: “There have been ups and downs for a while, but they have always strongly felt they wanted to stay together so they could both be with their son.
“In the end they’ve tried to find a compromise where they continue to share lots of time together for their son Arthur, but outside of that sometimes live separate lives for now.”
In September, we revealed how Caspar had asked Ellie to cool off her close friendship with Tory MP Zac Goldsmith in a bid to focus on their four-year marriage.
Pals said Ellie and Zac had bonded over their views on climate change and were first introduced at COP26 in November 2021.
But after Ellie and Caspar decided to give their relationship another chance, she distanced herself from Zac and even unfollowed him on Instagram.
