Who is Lewis Capaldi?
Lewis Capaldi is a Scottish singer and songwriter who burst onto the scene in 2018.
After being named one of Vevo's dscvr "Artists to watch 2018", he was also long-listed for BBC Music's Sound of 2018.
His second extended play Breach saw the release of his smash hit, Someone You Loved, which premiered on Zane Lowe's Apple Beats 1 Radio show.
The 23-year-old singer has since been nominated for the Critics' Choice Award at the 2019 Brits Awards, bagged a Q Award and been nominated for a Grammy Award.
Who is Lewis Capaldi dating?
Lewis is still single. Yes, despite the fame and success he’s had, the singer has struggled to meet someone special along the journey of becoming one of the biggest artists in the UK.
The singer recently launched his own campaign to discover romance on several online dating apps.
At the BRIT Awards in 2018, Lewis had joked that after securing a nomination at the ceremony, he hoped that his chances to find someone special would get a little easier.
"One for the Tinder bio. Been nominated for a BRITs AWARD," he jokingly explained to his fans on Twitter at the time.
"Let's hope this dramatically improves my tinder match ratio, something needs to change."
Given that he made that tweet well over a year ago and things still haven’t changed, it seems as if Lewis has had no luck.
When did Lewis Capaldi break up with Love Island star Paige Turley?
Lewis dated Paige — who appeared on BGT when she was just 14 — on and off from 2014 to 2016 after they met at college in Motherwell and became close.
After they finally split up, the devastated star channelled his heartbreak into 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.
“We dated for a year and a half, then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”
Despite Lewis’s decision to remain tight-lipped about his former girlfriend’s identity, sources later named Paige as the ex who inspired him.
Speaking about their romance, Paige said: "We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18.
"We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we’re still pals."
Paige is now seeking love on television in the Love Island villa in South Africa.
