Ellie Goulding seen without wedding ring as she and hubby 'live separate lives'
Ellie Goulding has been pictured without her wedding ring following reports she and husband Caspar Jopling are separated.
The Starry Eyed singer, 36, was seen without her sparking engagement ring and her wedding band as she left the Treehouse Hotel in London following an event.
Ellie wore a slinky rust coloured full length dress, with a turtle neckline and long sleeves to the Sharing The Table dinner for the Green Carpet Fashion Awards yesterday.
Love Me Like You Do songstress Ellie, who was been in touch with pal Zac Goldsmith since her apparent split, tied her blonde locks back and had her fringe hanging down to frame her face.
She added a pair of hoop earrings and a number of rings to accessorise the look – however, her engagement and wedding ring was nowhere to be seen.
'I'm spending £20k on a new bathroom - but won't help my brother out with cash'As she was photographed leaving the event Ellie, who sported a pair of dramatically high chunky black platform heels, looked deep in thought as she looked downwards and clutched onto the skirt of her dress as well as her phone and a copy of the book It's Not Just You by climate activist Tori Tsui.
The sighting comes days after it was reported Ellie and art dealer Caspar, 31, are "spending time apart" after their marriage reportedly became strained. According to sources, their marriage has become strained due to hectic schedules but sources believe they could rekindle their romance as they co-parent their son, Arthur.
Neither Ellie nor Caspar have moved out of their family home and they have continued to enjoy holidays together.
"There is no discussion of a divorce and neither of them have been in a new relationship," a source told The Sun, before adding: "The priority is to keep good friends and remain amicable whilst they work out their next steps, so they can stay close and enjoy being mum and dad to Arthur.
"There will always be a lot of love between them despite some difficult times, and they want the best for each other."
The source went on to say that away from their time co-parenting Arthur, they are living separate lives. Ellie and Caspar wed in 2019 in a lavish ceremony attended by royals at York Minster before holding their reception at stately home Castle Howard.
Two years later in 2021, Ellie welcomed the couple's first child Arthur.
Taking to Instagram account to share the happy news, Caspar announced the new arrival via his Stories and told that the new tot and mum are "healthy and happy."
Caspar also shared a picture of a bunch of flowers and wrote: "Mum and baby both healthy and happy :) Extremely grateful."
The art dealer added: "I don't ever address the public attention that comes with Ellie's job, but during this magical and personal moment we would really appreciate being able to enjoy our privacy - Thank you x."
