Ellie Goulding, 39, is appearing to reference her relationship with Beau Minniear, 29, in new music. Both sources report that Goulding’s recent song includes lyrics suggesting she does not usually trust people like him, implying she was drawn to Minniear despite having reservations.
The articles frame the relationship through Minniear’s background, describing him as a criminal boyfriend. However, the reporting focuses mainly on the interpretation of Goulding’s lyrics rather than providing additional details about any specific allegations, legal proceedings, or new developments. The thrust of the story is that the songwriter uses the song’s wording to hint at how her feelings changed in spite of an initial lack of trust.
Overall, the sources agree that the claim comes from lyric interpretation and that Goulding’s new song is presented as the basis for the connection between her romantic choice and the statement that she “doesn’t usually trust guys like you.”
