Armando and his brother Gero are licensed instructors and run La Puente Surfhouse on Playa Hermosa beach, offering accomodation and lessons.
Are Ellie and Armando Really ‘a thing’?
An insider said: ‘Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other.
‘When Armando wasn’t teaching Ellie, he couldn’t keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss.
‘Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.’
Ellie and Caspar married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.
