According to The Irish Daily Mirror: "Louise and Ed have been friends for years but now they have become a lot closer. They are constantly in touch, even when he is on tour, but he is coming here soon for a gig in Dublin and they will be able to catch up then. Friends and family now know, so it is out there. Louise really cares about him and it’s going very well.”

As for how they met exactly, that's unclear, but there was this nugget: "The fact Louise isn’t a big star is helping things move along nicely. She is different to some of the girls he has been linked to. She’s known Ed since long before he was selling out stadiums and their friendship has built up over the years, so it’s not as if Louise is a starry-eyed girl.”
