British singer Ellie Goulding and her husband, Caspar Jopling, have recently announced their separation after four years of marriage. Goulding took to her Instagram Story to share the news, stating that they privately separated some time ago. She emphasized that despite the separation, they remain close friends and are focused on co-parenting their 2-year-old son, Arthur, with his best interests at heart.
Jopling, an art dealer, also confirmed the breakup on his Instagram Story, mentioning that the decision to separate was made some time ago. He expressed that their immediate family and close friends were aware of the situation, but they chose to keep it private until now. Jopling reiterated that he and Goulding are committed to maintaining a strong friendship and co-parenting relationship for the sake of their son.
The couple's statements came following reports of Goulding spending time with Costa Rican surf instructor Armando Perez, where they were seen getting cozy during a beach trip. Meanwhile, Jopling was spotted without his wedding band during a solo stroll in London.
Goulding and Jopling tied the knot in August 2019 after getting engaged a year earlier. Their son, Arthur, was born in May 2021. Reports suggest that the couple began living separately at the beginning of 2023.
The pair expressed their desire for privacy regarding their separation and requested that their family's privacy be respected. They indicated that they would not be providing further comments on the matter.
