Ellie Goulding has dated women in between "toxic, fleeting and passionate" relationships with men

While chatting with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader on her reality show Love Thy Nader, Brooks joked about dating women following her split from Dancing with the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko.

She quipped: "Maybe I'll go the other way."

Ellie responded: "That's what I do. It works every time. I think the most exciting love comes for a reason, and it's toxic and fleeting and passionate and it's amazing and you're just like, no one else has ever experienced love like this.

"It's all great song material, to be honest. Annoyingly, I do it for the plot so that I can write a song about it.

"We should just appreciate it as the moment that it is, and then when it goes away, be appreciative that it's happened and that we got to experience it.

"It's all about being the amazing woman that you are and then guys are just an accessory every now and again."

In early 2024, Ellie took to social media to announce her split from Caspar, revealing that they actually "separated some time ago".

The Lights hitmaker said on Instagram at the time: "Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.

"We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our sons best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes - we won't be commenting further. Thank you."

Meanwhile, Casper insisted that they will remain on good terms following their break-up.

Caspar explained that he intended to remain "the closest of friends" with his ex-wife and that co-parenting was their priority.

He wrote on Instagram: "Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago.

"Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time - otherwise we chose to do what we could to keep this private.

"Ellie and I remain the closest of friends, most importantly 'co-parents' to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur. (sic)"
