Ellie Goulding Splits from Husband After Four Years: Here are the Signs
Ellie Goulding and her art dealer husband Caspar Jopling have decided to part ways, marking the end of their four-year marriage. However, it seems that the pair’s relationship had been showing signs of trouble, which were visible for a while.
Cryptic Messages and Solo Trips: Indications of Marriage Troubles
In one sign, Ellie, 37, left cryptic messages for her fans on social media while enjoying sun-filled holidays away from her husband. The singer posted an album of her girls’ trip to Costa Rica in January, basking in the picturesque surroundings without any photos of her husband. Similarly, her trip to California last November showed her on the beach with her son but no photos of Caspar were shared. Last August, she posted another set of images with a cryptic message, sparking further speculation about the state of her marriage.
In the second hint, no pictures of either her husband or the pair together could be found anywhere on her Instagram profile. Consequently, snaps of the duo were notably absent, though she did post about her rumored ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris in April 2023. Although she insisted that the pair were just friends, the bond appeared to be strong as they celebrated their number one track ‘Miracle’ together.
Red Carpet Appearances and Personal Struggles
Notably, Ellie and Caspar, 32, have also not been seen on red carpets together recently. Despite the ‘Anything Could Happen’ hitmaker making high-profile appearances at events such as the Grammy Awards and the British Fashion Awards, she appeared alone for awaiting photographers. After dating since 2017, the couple tied the knot in 2019 in an enchanting ceremony. Subsequently, they welcomed their son Arthur together in 2021, but it was reported that, due to hectic schedules, they were spending time separately. Last year, she was spotted without her wedding ring as she left the hotel in London, appearing pensive.
After reports of their efforts to reignite their spark, Ellie and Caspar were spotted on a date night at Rick Gervais’ comedy show in London’s Leicester Square. Additionally, Caspar had asked Ellie to distance herself from her close friendship with Tory MP Zac Goldsmith to prioritize their four-year marriage.
High Profile Event Appearances and Marital Woes: A Look into the Past
Their marriage was seen to be in jeopardy, with Ellie enjoying various trips abroad away from her husband. The star also appeared at various high-profile events alone, raising eyebrows about the state of her relationship. The pair, previously enjoying a fairytale wedding in York Minster in 2019, had recently been skirting around a turbulent phase in their married life.
In conclusion, the signs of Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling’s relationship breakdown had been present for some time, eventually leading to the decision to part ways. The couple, who appeared to be a picture-perfect pair, faced their share of challenges magnified by essentially living out their journey in public view.
