Lewis Capaldi is smitten as he opens up on romance with stunning girlfriend Ellie MacDowall for first time
LEWIS Capaldi has spoken about his girlfriend for the first time, insisting she makes him a “happy chappy.”
The Someone You Loved singer went public with his Edinburgh-born actress Ellie MacDowall, 23, at the Brit awards earlier this year.
However the pair have been keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but today Lewis talks to Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills about their romance.
The 26-year-old chart-topper says: “I have a girlfriend and that’s going really well, I am happy chappy, she’s a lovely lady I feel good about everything.”
Lewis also reveals that his new single Wish You the Best is a break-up song after the star had previously dated Love Island winner Paige Turley, 25, on and off from 2014 to 2016.
He says: “It’s about someone moving on and that feeling where you know it’s the best thing for that person.
“But all you say is ‘good luck I’m really happy for you’ but actually you are dying inside and want to tell them all the things you miss about them and why they should stay with you - so just a really happy song for the summer!”
This week, we revealed Lewis' big sister Danielle, 30, leapt to the defence of their mum and dad over slurs about how they treated their superstar son’s Tourette’s Syndrome in Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now.
But Lewis also slags off folks for thinking “they’re Simon Cowell” after they are seen criticising one of his news songs in the warts and all show.
He says: “My mum and dad have all of a sudden become these muso’s.

“My mum is a nurse and my dad is a fishmonger and now all of a sudden they’re like Simon Cowell.
“It’s mental I don’t tell my dad what halibut to sell, I don’t tell my mother, I don’t know what she does as a job, but I wouldn’t come over and tell her how to do it.
“But it’s quite good at the end of the day those are the people that are listening to the radio and who are going to hear your music.
