Romantic Encounter in London
Olivia Wilde, the acclaimed actress and director, has recently been spotted in a romantic embrace with Caspar Jopling, an art dealer and the ex-husband of singer Ellie Goulding. The two were seen sharing a passionate kiss outside The Pelican restaurant in West London on September 4, 2023, after enjoying a lengthy three-hour dinner. Sources reported that they appeared very comfortable and affectionate towards each other, laughing and joking throughout their meal. Eyewitnesses described their public display of affection as reminiscent of "a pair of teenagers."
Background on Caspar Jopling
Caspar Jopling, 33, was previously married to Ellie Goulding from 2019 until their split in February 2024. The couple shares a son, Arthur, born in April 2021. Following their separation, both Jopling and Goulding have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting amicably. Jopling is well-educated, having graduated from Harvard and later obtaining an MBA from the University of Oxford. He has worked in the art world, including a position at Sotheby’s, and is currently a strategist at his uncle Jay Jopling’s White Cube gallery.
Olivia Wilde's Recent Dating History
Wilde, 39, has kept her personal life relatively private since her high-profile relationship with Harry Styles ended in 2022. Prior to Styles, she was engaged to actor Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children. Wilde's recent romantic endeavors have included a brief link to former basketball player Dane DiLiegro earlier this year. As she continues to work on multiple film projects, including the upcoming erotic thriller "I Want Your Sex," Wilde appears to be navigating her personal life with a focus on both her career and newfound romance.
Criticism and Public Speculation
The emergence of Wilde and Jopling's relationship has sparked public interest and speculation, particularly given Jopling's recent split from Goulding. Some observers have noted the timing of their new romance, suggesting it may be a response to Goulding's own recent dating life, as she has been linked to actor Beau Minniear. The dynamics of their relationships have led to discussions about the implications of moving on so publicly, especially in light of their shared social circles.
Official Statements & Responses
While neither Wilde nor Jopling has officially commented on their relationship, sources close to them indicate that they have been quietly seeing each other since early July. Friends of Jopling have expressed that he and Wilde are falling in love and are ready to be more open about their relationship.
What's Next for the Couple?
As Wilde and Jopling's relationship becomes more public, they may face the challenge of navigating their respective ex-partners in shared social settings. Both are expected to be seen together more frequently, especially in Notting Hill, where they have reportedly enjoyed private dates. The evolving nature of their romance will likely continue to attract media attention, particularly as they balance their personal lives with their professional commitments.
