In 2021, they welcomed their son, Arthur, but their romance was not to last. In February 2024, after she was spotted with surf instructor Armando Perez, Goulding took to her Instagram stories to announce that she and Caspar had called it quits. ‘In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago,’ the singer told her fans. ‘We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our [son’s] best interests at heart.’
Jopling, too, took to social media to show a united front, writing: ‘I feel (sadly) that I need to say something on mine and Ellie’s current relationship that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear,’ before adding that ‘our immediate family and close friends have known for some time. Otherwise, we chose to do what we could to keep this private.’
As for Caspar’s new flame, Olivia Wilde is no stranger to a high-profile relationship. In 2003, at the age of 19, she married Roman aristocrat Don Tao dei Principi Ruspoli, making her a princess of the Papal aristocracy. The pair split in 2011, and Olivia would go on to have two children with the actor Jason Sudeikis before a very public divorce in 2020. Then, the House actress started seeing Harry Styles after they met on the set of her second directorial feature film, Don’t Worry Darling, in 2021. One very controversial press tour followed, and the A-listers separated in November 2022. Until recently, Wilde has reportedly been dating American actor and former basketball player, Dane DiLiegro. As for Ellie Goulding, she was spotted with the actor Beau Minniear just a day after Jopling’s date with Wilde.
