Although the couple prefers to keep their romance out of the public eye, Louis has proved how in love he is with his girlfriend in past interviews.
In an interview on Lorraine in 2018, Louis spoke about his song ‘Back To You’ and linked it to his relationship with Eleanor.
He said: “There are some personal things that I relate to and contribute to lyrics. Nice to have something not as directly as relatable to me. The relationship with Eleanor is coincidental. But the relationship in the song is intense. Maybe they're not right for each other. I wouldn’t describe Eleanor as that. She’s ace.”
Do Louis and Eleanor have children together?
No, the couple don't have kids together, as the father-of-one shares Freddie with his ex, Brianna.
However, in an interview with a tabloid in 2020 he revealed he sees a future with Eleanor, saying: "One day, yeah, I’d imagine so. If you’re asking me if I’m going to marry her? Yes, I think so! And more kids, I’d say so.”
