She only confirmed her latest romance little more than a month ago, but Ellie Goulding has wasted no time in enlisting her new boyfriend as the star of her steamiest music video to date.
The singer is back with new single Destiny, and the release has already ignited excitement among fans by heralding what promises to be one of her most powerful and transformative eras yet.Â
But the track’s accompanying video, directed by Floria Sigismondi, has generated almost as much interest courtesy of its stunning visuals, ethereal backdrops and the presence of Goulding’s mostly shirtless boyfriend, Beau Minniear.
The singer, who confirmed their relationship in September, is seen straddling the hunky actor, whose face remains partially hidden throughout the four minute promo.
Minniear appears to be a source of overwhelming sexual desire for the singer, who takes pictures of his semi-naked body before straddling him as the video reaches its climax.Â
Elsewhere the pair are filmed enjoying a passionate clinch as Goulding runs her hands across her boyfriend’s muscular torso. Â

Discussing her latest track, she said: ‘Recording this was like a catharsis, it made me feel so much better – like the prize was me all along.Â
‘Instead of putting my everything into these men, this song was my first feeling of straight-up escape and empowerment.Â
‘When I heard the track I was in love with it. The idea of adding the choir and strings at the end was for it to become a triumphant moment of freedom like jumping off a cliff.Â
‘To me it sounds like surrender. It sounds like let it happen. That’s why it is called Destiny, it sounds like what will be will be and accepting it.’Â
Since the breakdown of her marriage to her younger husband Caspar Jopling, 33, with whom she shares son four-year-old son Arthur, Goulding has enjoyed a string of romances.
The singer is thought to have met Minniear – who has had string of small acting parts in the united States – earlier this year.
A source told The Sun ‘Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art.
‘They’ve been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.’

The star briefly dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage.
They met in late 2023 in Costa Rica where the songstress had rented a swanky villa with pals after secretly separating from her partner after five years.
Ellie and her art dealer ex-husband Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months before announcing their split, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son.
‘Their lives are very different and so it was natural for them both to eventually move on. But they still remain great friends.’
Celebrating 15 years since her debut album Lights, Goulding has scored 10 platinum singles, four number one albums, two BRIT Awards, a GRAMMY Award nomination and a Golden Globe nomination.Â
She has sold over 44 million albums and 442 million singles, amassing 55 billion streams worldwide.Â
Goulding is also one of the most streamed female artists on Spotify with over 15 billion streams.
