Ellington Ratliff has dated –

1. Kelly Voosen (2008-2013) – Ellington Ratliff was dating Kelly Voosen way before he became a part of R5. But, fame from becoming a part of the successful band didn’t drive them apart. They were very much together and Kelly used to put a countdown timer on her phone to count the days he was away touring with the band. Even, R5 fans coined a special name for the special couple, Kellington. However, they decided to go separate ways in 2013 as Ellington’s work schedule proved too much for Kelly.
2. Rydel Lynch (2013-2018) – Ellington moved on from Kelly to his bandmate Rydel Lynch and Rydellington was born. However, they didn’t initially tell their bandmates that they were dating. They eventually found it out after spotting Rydel and Ellington holding hands on the beach. They separated in October 2018.
