Olivia Wilde and Caspar Jopling’s Romantic Journey in London
Olivia Wilde, the 41-year-old actress, has been enjoying a series of low-key dates with art dealer Caspar Jopling, 33, since July. Their relationship appears to be growing stronger, as they were recently spotted on a romantic stroll in Primrose Hill on Sunday. The couple was also joined by Olivia’s new labradoodle, making their outing even more heartwarming.
This is not the first time Olivia has been linked to a high-profile relationship. She previously dated pop star Harry Styles after breaking off her seven-year engagement to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, with whom she has two children. However, it seems that her current relationship with Caspar is taking center stage.
Caspar, who split from singer Ellie Goulding in 2024 after five years of marriage, has been seen spending quality time with Olivia. The couple made their first public appearance together at W Magazine’s New York Fashion Week party last month. Just a week earlier, they enjoyed a meal and drank red wine at The Pelican restaurant in West London before sharing a passionate embrace outside the venue.
Sources revealed that Caspar, an investor in The Pelican and its nearby sister pub, The Fat Badger, has used these locations to date Olivia in relative privacy. According to one source, “Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months.” The venues are known for offering the best tables—hidden spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities. Caspar’s friends believe the couple is falling in love and are ready to be open about their relationship, which means more public appearances from them.
Notting Hill has also become a hotspot for celebrity couples. Ellie Goulding was recently seen on a date with 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior. Meanwhile, Caspar and Olivia continue to enjoy their secret romantic escapades in London’s exclusive hideaways.
The Jopling Family Background
Born in Yorkshire and educated at Eton, Caspar comes from a prominent family. His father, the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, is the son of politician Thomas Michael Jopling, a member of the House of Lords. Caspar’s uncle, Jay Jopling, is a renowned art dealer who runs online art platform Paddle 8. Caspar’s friend Princess Eugenie worked in New York before moving back to London.
Jay Jopling was previously married to director Sam Taylor Johnson, with whom he shares daughters Jessie, 18, and Angelica, 27. Caspar’s parents divorced, and his mother, Jayne Warde-Aldam, later married Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam.
The aristocratic family owns Grade II listed building Frickley Hall, which dates back to 1760. Known in equestrian circles, they host their very own Frickley Horse Trials.
Ellie Goulding’s Post-Split Life
It has been nearly 18 months since Ellie and Caspar, who have a five-year-old son, separated. They are said to remain on amicable terms. Ellie was briefly linked to Costa Rican surfing instructor Armando Perez and was also said to have been close to Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, 50, who got married for the third time yesterday to PR guru Hum Fleming, 35.
As Olivia Wilde continues to explore her romance with Caspar Jopling, the couple’s journey through London’s hidden celebrity spots remains a topic of interest. With their relationship gaining more visibility, fans are eager to see how their story unfolds.
