Ultimately, the relationship didn't work out, but Ella didn't have to wait long to find her Prince Charming.
Guy and Ella went public in April 2023 and, just a year later, they tied the knot in a surprise ceremony.
Prior to their nuptials, Ella opened up about the possibility of becoming a mother and said she wasn't in a hurry.

"I'm not in any rush to have children, that's about it really," she said.

She told him: "I believe every experience we've been through in life has prepared us to be ready for each other now.
"Guy, you are my best friend, and I love you so much. Thank you for choosing me and what I come with, quirks and all, I can't wait to do the rest of my life with you."
Guy was equally as gushing, telling Ella: "You are the single most beautiful person in the world to me every single day, you're my best friend my confidant and my life partner and I'll always feel blessed to have you by my side and I love you."
