They met in late 2023 in Costa Rica where the songstress had rented a swanky villa with pals after secretly separating from her partner after five years.
Ellie and Armando were first introduced when he gave her surf lessons, after previously teaching Shakira, 48, before pictures emerged of them passionately kissing and she was forced to confirm publicly that her marriage was over.
The hunk and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the west coast of the Central American paradise.

Ellie made numerous trips from her home in the UK to Costa Rica over the following months which she documented on Instagram, including a string of stunning bikini snaps.
According to the El Observador newspaper, she made this trip as many as six times over just five months, typically staying a week at a time, sometimes longer. With the couple enjoying further private lessons, as well as shopping trips and dinner dates.
An Insider told The Sun at the time: ‘Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other. When Armando wasn’t teaching Ellie, he couldn’t keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss’.
‘Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.’
Antonio is also believed to have also visited Ellie in London on at least one occasion, reportedly watching her perform to a live crowd from backstage.
One friend said: ‘Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons.
‘They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together – Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end.
[Armando was used to spending his days instructing in the water and running around barefoot in swim shorts, and was more comfortable enjoying his ‘quiet life’ without the ‘drama’ of being in the public eye, the source added.

She told Elle: ‘I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed [Sheeran]. I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.
‘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 (Swift) a lot. She definitely feels that.
Earlier in 2023, she finally addressed the rumour she cheated on Ed with Niall, after he wrote the track about an ex cheating on him with a friend.
The Starry-eyed hitmaker uploaded a TikTok video over Christmas and responded to a fan who wrote: ‘Can’t believe you cheated on Ed with Niall but slay’.

In a statement in February, the musician wrote: ‘In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago’
Caspar added: Ellie and I remain the closest of friends and most importantly ‘co-parents’ to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur’
She hit back: ‘False!!!! But also slay’.
Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months before announcing their split, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son.
