ELLIE Goulding looked all loved up as she stripped to a black swimsuit for a fun beach day with her new man.
The Sun was first to reveal the popstar’s recent antics in Costa Rica which saw her embracing her surf instructor Armando Perez in the sea.

Last month Burn songstress Ellie, 37, was without her wedding ring while frolicking with the hunk as the full extent of the breakdown of her marriage to Caspar Jopling, 32, came to light.
Now she has been seen getting close to tanned Armando – who also teaches surfing skills to Shakira, 47 – for another day on the sands.
He was seen carrying a white board under his arm as Ellie chatted away.
She tied her wet hair – presumably from a morning spent in the sea – into a low ponytail and went make-up free to show off her natural glow.
Later in the day, when her sporting session had wrapped, the Brit chart-topper switched to a black bikini.
She pulled a pair of sunglasses to accessorise and added a silver chain necklace.
She had a smile on her face as she walked close by her man, before the pair paused for a break.
Deep in discussion, they took a perch on the sands and propped up on a beach log.
Ellie, who had added a cream sarong to her outfit, looked blissfully happy as they continued their conversation.
End of the road
The Sun first reported last summer that Ellie’s marriage to art dealer Caspar, 32, had run into trouble.
The pair got hitched in August 2019 and have a young son.
They were last seen together in London earlier this year.
A source has now confirmed that Ellie and husband Caspar were in the process of splitting after the marriage difficulties in 2023.
An insider then told us of her blossoming new relationship and 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.
“When Armando wasn’t teaching Ellie, he couldn’t keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss.
“Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.”
Recently, the Starry Eyed songstress admitted she was in an “anxiety free zone” after her new man was revealed.
