A source said recently: "They are finding it hard to spend time together as Ellie's music career takes her all over the world and she is pulled in different directions. Dougie is trying to make it in America as an actor and they are drifting apart."
But the split came shortly after the Starry Eyed singer had said their romance was back on track and they were taking each day as it comes.
She said: "We're realistic about the fact that I'm in Europe and he's in Los Angeles and we take each day as it comes ... I won't see him for a long time."
