Singer Ellie Goulding, aged 36, was recently photographed in West London, where she was seen with her husband, Caspar Jopling. This public appearance comes amidst notable shifts in Goulding’s social circles and relationships.
The outing with her husband marks another public appearance for the couple, who have encountered various challenges recently. Just a few weeks ago, Ellie had distanced herself from her close friendship with Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, signaling changes in her inner circle.
This sighting is the second time the couple has been seen together in recent days, and on both occasions, they appeared rather solemn. The couple, parents to their two-year-old son Arthur, was spotted during their latest outing holding beverages, with Caspar also carrying a children’s scooter and helmet.
The dynamic between Ellie and Caspar during this outing contrasts with a previous instance when Ellie was seen walking closely with Lord Goldsmith, aged 48, near his £3 million mansion in West London last month.
Their bond had initially developed over their shared commitment to addressing climate change, and their friendship had grown following the breakdown of Lord Goldsmith’s marriage to his second wife, Alice Rothschild, after a decade together.
The friendship between Ellie and Lord Goldsmith had been described as an unlikely one due to their different backgrounds. Lord Goldsmith, an Eton-educated individual, was the son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, while Ellie’s upbringing was on a council estate in Herefordshire.
However, Ellie Goulding has built connections within high society, including her friendship with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who attended her star-studded wedding to Mr. Jopling at York Minster in 2019.
Lord Goldsmith had previously been married to fellow environmentalist Sheherazade Bentley, but their marriage ended in 2010. His resignation as a minister in June, where he accused Rishi Sunak of showing a lack of interest in environmental issues, marked a significant moment in his career.
Ellie Goulding and Lord Goldsmith first crossed paths at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow in November 2021. Their evolving relationships and changing social dynamics continue to capture the attention of the public and fans of the renowned singer.
