Ellie Goulding beams positively at the Brit Awards, her first red carpet appearance since confirming her recent split from her estranged husband Caspar Jopling.
Goulding, 37, was all smiles as she walked the red carpet at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday, March 2. She stunned in a rose gold silk one-shoulder dress with a center cutout and a leg slit. The pop star completed her look with delicate silver jewelry, including rings, tennis bracelets and a bicep cuff. Goulding’s jewelry complemented her matching metallic heels.
Goulding, who wore her locks long and wavy, has also been nominated for Song of the Year Calvin Harris for their duet ‘Miracle’. She and Harris, who attended the show with their wives Vick Hopeperformed the song live on Saturday.
Goulding had announced her split from Jopling weeks ahead of this year’s Brit Awards.
“In light of the recent stories, I feel I have no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately parted ways some time ago,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in February. “We remain the best of friends and have successfully put the interests of our sons first.”
Goulding continued: “We are committed to protecting our family’s privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we will have no further comment. Thank you.”
Goulding and Jopling, 32, first started dating in March 2017 and got engaged a year later. We weekly confirmed in August 2019 that they tied the knot at York Minster Cathedral in Yorkshire, England.
Two years later, they revealed that Goulding was expecting their first baby, son Arthur, who arrived in May 2021.
“It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan,” Goulding said Fashion in February 2021 when she found out she was pregnant. “The thought of becoming pregnant didn’t seem like it could become a reality. Becoming pregnant made me feel human. I want a better word than feminine, [but] I have curves I’ve never had before. I enjoy it. My husband enjoys it.”
Since the split, Goulding and Jopling have been committed to co-parenting Arthur, 2.
“Ellie and I remain the best of friends and, most importantly, ‘co-parents’ to the best child in the world,” Jopling, an art dealer, wrote via his Instagram Story last month. “This is the last thing I want to say about this – and ask that you please respect my and Ellie’s privacy. Thank you very much, Caspar.”
Jopling also noted that they decided to part ways “some time ago.”
“Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time,” he added. “Otherwise, we chose to do what we could to keep this private.”
