Their blossoming relationship was on its last legs towards the end of last year.
Ellie and Dougie started dating two years ago, but briefly ended their relationship in early December before rekindling their romance a few weeks later.
But in a new interview with Red Magazine, Ellie Goulding has revealed that her two-year romance with Dougie Poynter was ‘too special’ to throw away.
Speaking about their temporary split before Christmas, the 29-year-old confessed: ‘You don’t throw something like that away so easily.’
Recalling the moment when they first met, the British songstress went on to admit that it was her who pulled out the moves in a bid to attract his attention.
She told the publication: ‘When I met Dougie, he had no game. He was just like, “you’re really cool, let’s go out.” It was me that pursued him, a bit, very unexpectedly.
‘Before him, I was having a single period and hating all men, saying never again, after a series of things that happened to me.
‘I really, really thought I was going to be single for a long while. But then I met him and was like, uh-oh, game over. He was just so nice.’
The loved-up duo - who have previously talked about getting engaged in the future - reportedly ended things due to the pressures of their hectic work schedules.
Ellie also admitted that her relentless touring has been difficult, by saying: ‘The last month has been really testing, on everything, on my sanity. The music industry isn’t like other industries, there are no rules about working hours, or taking breaks. 'A working day will start with a 4am flight and finish at 3am the next day. Sometimes I don’t have time to eat in the day.
'I go, are we gonna get lunch? And everyone around me is like [sharp intake of breath that signifies ‘No’.]
‘But, even when you’ve made the money, people still want to do the thing they love.
'I know in my heart that if I stopped doing this I would probably get depressed. I’d end up very free but very miserable.’
This month, as a celebration of The Brit Awards and London Fashion Week, Red celebrates British music and fashion by photographing Ellie with milliner Stephen Jones, designer Henry Holland, shoe god Rupert Sanderson and NEWGEN winner Ryan Lo.
The singer showed off her style star status in the stunning shoot, preened perfectly in an array of dazzling attire.
With her blonde tresses left loose in stylish waves, Ellie's striking complexion was enhanced with flawlessly applied makeup.
Ellie has been nominated for two Brit Awards this year, British Single for Love Me Like You Do and British Artist Video of the Year for the same track.
