BRIT AWARDS 2024: Ellie Goulding keeps it casual as she arrives at the O2 after a break in Costa Rica with a hunky surfer

Ellie Goulding looked radiant as she arrived at the BRITS on Saturday afternoon ahead of the star-studded awards ceremony.

The 37-year-old singer showed off her glowing skin after recently returning from a vacation to Costa Rica in February.

During the trip, she was pictured cozying up to hunky surf instructor Armando Pereza after announcing her split from husband Caspar Jopling.

Ready for a night of partying, Ellie stepped out of her car in a black hoody, sweatpants and sandals.

The star also wore dark, round sunglasses as she entered London’s O2.

Ellie will take to the stage with Calvin Harris tonight as the pair are expected to perform their mega-hit ‘Miracle’.

Before the performance, Calvin said: “I can’t wait for a VERY SPECIAL performance with Ellie!”

The pair previously collaborated on the dance-pop anthems ‘I Need Your Love’ in 2012 and ‘Outside’ in 2014.

On Wednesday, Ellie wore a pink crop top as she shared a clip frolicking in the sea in Costa Rica.

The singer enjoyed a refreshing dip at sunrise in the video shared to her TikTok as she documented her journey.

Ellie frolicked on the beach and shared kisses and cuddles with the sun-kissed hunk, proving her four-year marriage to husband Caspar, 31, was over after months of speculation.

In a statement released on Friday, Ellie and the art dealer finally spoke about their split, with friends of the couple telling MailOnline that she had ‘moved out a while ago’.

She shared the video as she swam in the sea as her toned figure was visible in the light pink crop top from Nike.

Her blonde locks lay in beachy waves over her shoulders as she looked out over the ocean view and she went makeup-free.

Ellie looked smitten with surfing instructor Armando on holiday this week, just days after confirming her marriage break-up.

It came after the pair were spotted packing on the PDA during the romantic outing a few days earlier.

In a statement released on Friday, Ellie and Caspar finally spoke about their split, with friends of the couple telling MailOnline that she had ‘moved on a while ago’.

Armando and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the West Coast.

The trip to Costa Rica is her second this year. Ellie is said to have met her new love interest during a previous holiday in January.

In a statement released last week, Ellie and Caspar finally spoke about their split, with friends of the couple telling MailOnline that she had ‘moved out a while ago’

The couple are now expected to divorce after confirming that their four-year marriage is over after exhausting all options (pictured in June 2023; Ellie is seen without her ring)

In the photo without her wedding ring, Ellie was seen with Armando wrapping his arms around her waist as they kissed in the sea last week.

In June, Costa Rican surfer took Shakira for lessons while the hitmaker was on vacation in his home country.

Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar have reportedly been living separate lives for at least six months, despite trying to patch things up for the sake of their son Arthur, two.

The couple are now expected to divorce after confirming their four-year marriage is over after exhausting all options, MailOnline can reveal.

In a statement, the musician wrote: “In light of the recent stories, I feel 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 following a two-year battle 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.
