Singer Ellie Goulding has shared a cryptic quote as she hints at 'moving on' after splitting from her husband Caspar Jopling.
The couple, who share two-year-old son Arthur together, are said to have called time on their romance in July, after reportedly leading separate lives for six months citing 'hectic schedules' as the reason behind the break up. The couple reportedly tried to stick together for the sake of son Arthur before eventually calling it quits.
The split comes four years after the couple married in York Minster in 2019 with guests including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, James Blunt, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. In a post to her Instagram Stories, Ellie hinted at "moving on" as the popstar is said to be leaning on millionaire and former politician Zac Goldsmith's friendship as she navigates single life.

The poem read: "It is only heavy because you are deciding over and over again to carry it. 'Embrace change, loosen up you sense of identity, let yourself walk a new path. You do not have to ignore or erase the past, you just have to wholeheartedly embrace the present and move on."
Friends Ellie and Zac have been seen together on various occasions as Zac is also heading for divorce from his second wife Alice after ten years together.

The pair are said to share a common interest in environmental issues, and have kept in contact since first meeting at the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow, in November 2021. The pair have been pictured at various environmental events including COP27 in Egypt last year.
Writing about the event in The Guardian, Ellie said: "I attend a dinner with environment ministers and their teams from all over the world, convened by the UK's Zac Goldsmith. You could tell they were tired but ploughing on. What amazes me about this group is that they never stop trying to get a better deal for nature."
One friend told The Mail on Sunday about their relationship as they said: "Ellie and Zac have a shared interest, saving the environment. They plainly know one another and talk away from their environmental work. They come from very different backgrounds but have struck up a friendship."
