Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran Hand-Holding, PDAs For Real Or For Publicity?
Ellie Goulding is sparking some new rumors after she was spotted at the MTV VMA awards last night sitting between Rita Ora and Ed Sheeran. The 26-year-old blonde singer and the 22-year-old boyish redhead sat close together and held hands for most of the night, according to a report from the New York Daily News.
But holding hands doesn’t strike a lot of us as an accurate description of what really took place. There are photos floating around from the Brooklyn Barclays Center event that clearly show Sheeran’s hand on Goulding’s thigh or her knee.
I’ve posted one of the tweets from a One Direction fan down below.
Would you call that two friends holding hands, or would you call that a shy but horny younger dude sneaking a friendly feel of Ellie Goulding’s bare thigh?
Heh.
For the time being, apparently Goulding and Sheeran deny that they’re anything except friends.
One Direction fans are reportedly already bitter about rumors that Ellie Goulding is toying with 19-year-old Niall Horan, the band’s Irish member.
US Weekly said today that Ellie Goulding is still involved with actor Jeremy Irvine, despite the highly visible PDAs with both Horan and Sheeran.
“I can’t talk about Niall. I won’t ever talk about my love life anymore,” she reportedly said.
Well, isn’t that convenient?

Of course, Ellie Goulding has something to say about all this:
I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater. #whatthef*ck

I love it that a grown woman of 26 can pretend to be that naive. I’m sure Ellie Goulding knows exactly what she’s doing when she stirs the pot by holding hands with popular younger boys like Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan.
