Lewis Capaldi and his girlfriend Ellie MacDowall prove they are still going strong as they are seen together for the first time in 10 MONTHS

Lewis Capaldi and his girlfriend Ellie MacDowall confirmed they are still going strong as they stepped out for the first time in months, on Tuesday. 

The Scottish singer, 27, was last seen with his model girlfriend in May 2023, during a trip to Los Angeles.

But looking happier than ever, the loved-up duo enjoyed a romantic stroll around North London together.

Lewis, who is in the middle of a career break to focus on his health, confirmed his relationship in February 2023 after they made a cosy appearance at the BRITs afterparty.

The hitmaker cut a casual display in a black hoodie and trousers, while Ellie looked trendy in a brown checkered coat and green knit scarf.

It comes after last month Lewis attended his first event in seven months as he enjoyed a beer at the Gucci Grammys afterparty in LA.

It was the first time in seven months that Lewis has attended an industry event, the last being the penultimate day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in July 2023. 

Lewis recently delighted fans by releasing five new songs for the New Year, despite his career break to focus on his anxiety and battle with Tourette's syndrome.

The singer returned to social media for the first time in six months to announce that he was releasing an extended edition of his second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent. 

The tracks are called Strangers, A Cure For Minds Unwell, Someone I Could Die For, The Ancient Art Of Always F***ing Up and Old Navy Blue.

Lewis announced he would be taking a break away from the spotlight for his mental health after performing at Glastonbury in June 2023.

Lewis explained: 'After some back-and-forth about whether it was the right thing to do, I've decided it would be a shame for these extra five songs, which are so incredibly special to me, to sit on my hard drive, never to see the light of day.'

The album originally hit number one in the UK charts after its May 2023 release, staying there for two consecutive weeks. 

Lewis added on X: 'I was absolutely terrified of disappointing you all, afraid of not living up to expectations and, in all honesty, scared that the whole thing would be a complete flop. But thanks to all of you, it wasn't.

'It's mind-blowing to see the songs on this album still resonating with so many of you despite the fact I've not been out there promoting it or touring, it means the world to me.

'Which brings me to the reason for this big b*****d of a letter I'm writing . . . 'Prior to my decision to f*** off for a bit, I'd always hoped to release an extended version at some point!'

The hitmaker also issued an update on his mental health journey in the post, saying his time off has been 'going great' and that he has noticed a 'marked improvement' in both his Tourette's and anxiety.

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics. 

Lewis previously dated Love Island winner Paige Turley on and off from 2014 to 2016 after they met at college in Motherwell.

She is said to have inspired his smash hit album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent and his hit song, Someone You Loved.

Speaking previously about the inspiration for the record, Lewis said: 'I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.

The singer shot to fame in 2019 after his hit single Somebody You Loved topped the UK Singles Chart for six weeks - and which recently became the UK's most streamed song of all time.

He then was reported to have dated student Catherine Halliday for seven months before splitting in September 2020.

Lewis revealed he was on dating app Hinge after being thrown off Tinder and Bumble because people thought he was pretending to be Lewis Capaldi.
