Ellie Goulding Slams Rumors That She Ever Dated Or Cheated on Ed Sheeran

Ellie Goulding shows off her fabulous figure on the cover of Elle UK‘s July 2015 issue.

Here’s what the 28-year-old entertainer had to share:

On Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan: “I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed. I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.”

On being defined by men she has dated: “I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they have or haven’t dated. It’s something I’ve talked about with Taylor a lot. She definitely feels that. She gets bothered by it. It’s like, you can be a great artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone is going to talk about is some relationship they think you have had or not had. It’s definitely something we both think happens to female artists over male artists.”
