Scandalous Nights and Secret Romances: The Shocking Love Lives of London's Elite

In a world where socialites and celebrities rule, the lines between friendship and romance often blur. But in the case of Caspar Jopling and his ex-wife Ellie Goulding, it seems that their relationship has been reduced to a cordial one – at least when it comes to partying together.

The 33-year-old art dealer was spotted leaving Chiltern Firehouse with none other than Cosima Vesey, an Ellie lookalike who bears an uncanny resemblance to the pop star. And while it's not hard to imagine why Caspar might be drawn to Cosima – after all, she's a member of London's aristocratic circles and has been linked to several high-profile men in the past – insiders claim that their relationship is purely platonic.

The art dealer, 33, is said to be dating Olivia Wilde after the pair were spotted kissing earlier this month, but flagged down a taxi at 4am with socialite Cosima

Meanwhile, Ellie Goulding has moved on with her new beau, actor Beau Minniear, who is a whopping 10 years her junior. The two were seen enjoying each other's company at various events around London, including a boxing match in Florence where they posed for photos together.

But what's really got tongues wagging is Caspar's rumored romance with none other than Olivia Wilde. According to sources close to the actor, the pair have been dating since July and have been keeping their relationship under wraps – mainly thanks to Caspar's connections to The Pelican restaurant in Notting Hill, where they've been spotted on several occasions.

"We're told that they met through a mutual friend and have been seeing each other pretty regularly," a source revealed to thescholarlynote.com. "They've been trying to keep it low-key, but it's getting harder to hide when you see them laughing and cuddling in public."

Proving their still on good terms, former couple Ellie and Caspar joined a host of celebrity guests to celebrate the reopening of the venue as London Fashion Week kicked off in the city

Olivia Wilde, of course, has had her fair share of high-profile romances in the past – including a brief fling with Harry Styles last year. But insiders claim that she's really smitten with Caspar, who's been described as "charming" and "cultivated".

"Caspar is a great catch," one friend told us. "He's got money, he's got taste, and he's got connections to the art world – which Olivia knows will appeal to her creative side."

As for Ellie Goulding, it seems she's not letting her recent split from Caspar get her down. In fact, sources claim that she's "thrilled" with Beau Minniear and is enjoying their whirlwind romance.

Earlier this month, Caspar was spotted kissing Olivia Wilde in London. They later made their first public outing together at W Magazine's New York Fashion Week party this week

"We're told that they met through mutual friends and have been having a blast together," our source revealed. "They share similar interests – like art and exercise – and seem to really click."

But what about Caspar's family connections? After all, his uncle Jay Jopling is a renowned art dealer who has worked with Princess Eugenie in the past. Well, it seems that Caspar's inherited his uncle's good taste – as well as his love of high-society events.

"Caspar's family are very influential," one insider told us. "They've got connections to the aristocracy and have been involved in various charitable endeavors over the years."

Cosima is the daughter of the 7th Viscount de Vesci and great niece of the Earl of Snowdon, she shares a son Ivo, eight, with Chiltern Firehouse owner André Balazs (pictured in 2018)

And speaking of charitable endeavors, it seems that Caspar's parents are no strangers to giving back either. His father, the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, is a member of the House of Lords – while his mother, Jayne Warde-Aldam, has been known for her work with several equestrian organizations.

But what really sets Caspar's family apart is their stunning Grade II listed home, Frickley Hall – which dates back to 1760 and is still owned by the Jopling family today. The estate hosts its own horse trials every year, attracting top riders from all over the country.

As for Caspar himself? It seems he's made a name for himself in the art world as well – thanks in part to his uncle Jay's connections. "Caspar has always been interested in art," one friend told us. "He's got a good eye for it and has even invested in several online platforms – including Paddle 8, where Princess Eugenie used to work."

André previously had an on/off romance with Uma Thurman, they dated for three years before splitting in 2007 but reunited in 2015 before breaking up again in 2016 (pictured in 2015)

So there you have it – the scandalous love lives of London's elite. Will Caspar and Olivia's romance last? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: with their connections, charisma, and good looks, they're definitely going to be one of the most talked-about couples of the season.

Ellie was seen on a date with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior, a two weeks ago
