And now it looks like Ellie is taking a break from social media, as her Instagram account (@elliegoulding) is no longer available to view.
Ellie had 14 million followers on the photo-sharing platform and had 664 posts as she enjoyed keeping her fans updated on her life.
Ellie’s representatives have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

It comes after removal vans were spotted outside the London home Ellie shared with Caspar.
A work crew arrived at the home, where they removed several items from the home and loaded them into a van.
Among the items taken out was what appeared to be a child’s toy chest. Ellie, 37, and Caspar, 31, welcomed their son Arthur together in April 2021.
Ellie and Caspar reportedly lived separate lives for at least six months, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son.
In the update, the musician wrote, “In light of the recent stories, I feel like I have no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately parted ways some time ago.
“We remain the best of friends and have successfully co-parented with our sons’ best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family’s privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes. We will make no further comment. Thank you.’
Friends of the couple told MailOnline that ‘divorce is the only outcome’ following their split after two years of fighting to save their relationship.
Sources close to Ellie have said that this isn’t the ideal ending for her, but it is the “only” one after all options with Caspar have been exhausted.
A friend said: ‘Ellie and Caspar have been together for a while but there was a whole argument where they pretended to be together.
‘The fact is, it’s over. Ellie moved away a while ago, but she didn’t want anyone to know.’

Announcing their separation, Ellie wrote: “In light of recent stories, I feel I have no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.”
Caspar added: Ellie and I remain closet friends and especially ‘co-parents’ to the best boy in the world, Arthur’
They continued: ‘But now she enjoys the company of other men and there is simply no turning back.
‘It’s so sad, especially because they have little Arthur, but they can’t make it work and now, very sadly, it’s going to end in divorce. There is no way the marriage can be saved; the only way it can end now is through divorce.
“It wasn’t necessarily the outcome they always wanted, but that’s where they are now. Ellie is ready to date other men, if he isn’t already. Caspar will certainly be back on the market soon.’
The exes were last seen together on a family day out in October, after the musician ended her friendship with Tory peer Zac Goldsmith to ‘focus on her marriage’.
Ellie and Caspar tied the knot at York Minster in August 2019 with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.
Their split was first rumored in June 2023, when sources claimed they were “living apart.”
After weeks of discussions about how to reveal their split, the pop star’s team finally revealed they had spent time apart, blaming their “hectic schedules” for the demise of their marriage.
That same month, Ellie was seen without her wedding and engagement ring as she attended the Serpentine Summer Party with Caspar. The pair looked somber.
Meanwhile, Ellie first hinted at her romance with new man Armando weeks ago with a telling clue.
Still, the pair subtly revealed their romance last month when they shared photos on social media in the same location.
Ellie first posted a photo of her in Costa Rica in January, with Armando sharing a photo that same day with the same background but leaving Ellie out of the picture.
The Burn hitmaker was quick to rave about the image, which Armando captioned with two love hearts.

Ellie is having a blast in Costa Rica, enjoying a winter getaway with her friends and not shying away from embracing a holiday romance.
While at the beach this week, Ellie revealed her marriage was over as she enjoyed a surf session with Armando.
Armando and his brother Gero are certified instructors and run La Puente Surfhouse on Playa Hermosa beach, offering accommodation and lessons.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Ellie and Armando seemed very interested in each other.
‘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 laughed and joked with him as they messed around in the sea.’
