Ellie and Caspar separated in February and the pair are now co-parenting their four-year-old son Arthur.
Meanwhile, the singer also recently split from her boyfriend Armando Perez.
The musician and the surf instructor - who is eight years her junior - struck up a romance when he gave her surfing lessons as she rang in the New Year in Costa Rica.
However friends of the pair told MailOnline that their relationship has now run its course.
One 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.
'They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot. But they are from very different backgrounds.'

They added: 'She is a big pop star from England while Armando's whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave.
'Their lives are very different and so it was natural for them both to eventually move on. But they still remain great friends.'
When pictures emerged of Ellie and Armando in swimsuits kissing passionately in the sea, the mother-of-one then took the decision to make public that her five-year marriage to Caspar, 32, had previously come to an end.
Confirming their split on Instagram, she 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.
'We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son's best interests at heart.'
