Lewis Capaldi's love life – Love Island winner, BRIT Awards snogs and model girlfriend

Lewis Capaldi is one of Britain’s biggest superstars, so it’s no surprise his love life has made a splash.

The Scottish singer, 26, commands a huge online fanbase thanks to his hilariously unfiltered humour, as well as his talent for penning heartbreaking hits like Someone You Loved.

His debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, became the best-selling album of 2019 and 2020.

And the self-proclaimed Scottish Beyoncé just scored his fourth UK number one with his recent single, Pointless.

But with so many gut-wrenching pop ballads to his name, fans are probably wondering just who broke Lewis’ heart and whether he’s found himself a new flame.

Capaldi’s new tell-all documentary, How I’m Feeling Now, is released today (April 5) on Netflix and dives into the star’s mental health struggles, including panic attacks and his Tourette’s diagnosis.

With the documentary out, Daily Star has dug into Lewis’ dating history, from his Love Island ex to his new model girlfriend.

Paige Turley

Capaldi’s most famous relationship was with singer Paige Turley, who won the winter series of Love Island in 2020 with her still-boyfriend Finn Tapp.

Lewis and Paige dated during their time at Motherwell College back in 2015, but she broke things off with the Forget Me hitmaker, leaving him “heartbroken.”

He reportedly said of the heartbreak: “I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.

“We dated for a year and a half, then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”

But despite popular belief that he wrote Someone You Loved about Paige, the singer revealed it was actually written about his late grandmother.

He said: “Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex-girlfriend, who you can now see every night on Love Island.”

But Paige has insisted that she’s still friends with Lewis as she told the BBC: “We’re still good friends.

“I think because I knew Lewis before, I don’t know him as the superstar. He’s always just been Lewis to me. It’s normal…”

Catherine Halliday

Back in 2020, Lewis was rumoured to be dating student and fellow Scot Catherine Halliday.

According to The Sun, the pair met up several times for low-key dates in his hometown of West Lothian in Scotland.

One of their dates saw them head for a meal together at Prezzo before he drove the pretty 21-year-old home in his Ford Fiesta.

A source claimed the couple were being “very flirty” and tactile with each other, but it’s believed they split after a few months as they didn’t see a future with one another.

Ellie MacDowall

Despite all of the love life woes he’s sung about, Lewis seems to have found love with his new girlfriend Ellie MacDowall, a singer, actress and model from Edinburgh.

The pair were spotted sharing a kiss at the BRIT Awards after months of romance rumours brewed between the duo – particularly after the release of Lewis’ song Pointless.

Onlookers said: “It’s official, Lewis is in love and he couldn’t be happier.

“He has been dating Ellie for some time now and while they are usually very low key, he couldn’t keep his hands off her at the after-party.

“It was very sweet to see him so happy, and Ellie clearly adores him too.”

The brunette beauty had been sharing snaps of Lewis on her Instagram stories, including clips of his recent gigs in Belfast and Glasgow.

But Lewis seems to have confirmed the romance himself on his Instagram as he posted a close-up snap of her during a hike they did together.

It seems Ellie’s acting career is taking off already as it’s said she has landed the role of Cary Grant’s daughter Jennifer in a new ITV biopic Archie, set to air later this year.
