What has Lewis said about Ellie?

In an April 2023 interview with BBC Radio 2, Lewis opened up about his relationship for the first time with Scott Mills. The pair were discussing new single 'Wish You The Best', which Lewis explained was about, "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 it’s just a really happy song for the summer."

The singer was then asked if he was in a rush to settle down, and while he didn't answer directly, he responded, "I have a girlfriend and that’s going really well. I am a happy chappy, she’s a lovely lady. I feel good about everything."

Adorable!
