Among the items being taken out were what looked to be a child’s toy chest. Ellie, 37, and Caspar, 31, welcomed their son Arthur together in April 2021.

Ellie and Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son.

Removal vans have been spotted outside the London home Ellie Goulding shared with her husband Caspar Jopling (pictured together in June 2023)

A work crew arrived at the house where they removed several items from the home and loaded them into a van

The former couple confirmed their four-year marriage was over in February after it was revealed Ellie had moved on with surf instructor Armando Perez (pictured)

In the update, the musician wrote: ‘In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.

‘We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our sons best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we won’t be commenting further. Thank you.’

Friends of the couple told MailOnline ‘divorce is the only outcome’ following their split after two years battling to save their relationship.

Sources close to Ellie have told how it isn’t the ideal ending for her but it is the ‘only one’ after exhausting all possibilities with Caspar.

A pal said: ‘Ellie and Caspar have been over for some time now but there was this whole carry on of them pretending to be together.

‘The fact is that it is over, Ellie moved on some time ago but she didn’t want anyone to know.’

They continued: ‘But now she is enjoying the company of other men and there is simply no way back.

‘It is so sad, especially because they have got little Arthur but they can’t make it work and now it, really sadly, is going to end in divorce. There is no way that the marriage can be saved, the only way it is going to end now is by divorcing.

It appears Ellie and Caspar’s relationship is well and truly over as their belongings were removed from the home they shared

‘It wasn’t necessarily the outcome they have always wanted but that’s where they are, Ellie is ready to date other men if he isn’t already, Caspar surely will be back out on the market again soon.’

The exes were last seen together in October during a family day out, after the musician ended her friendship with Tory peer Zac Goldsmith to ‘focus on her marriage.’

Ellie and Caspar married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

Their split was first rumoured in June 2023, when sources claimed they were ‘living apart’.

After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their separation, the pop star’s team finally revealed they had been spending time apart – blaming their ‘hectic schedules’ for the demise of their marriage.

That same month Ellie was seen without her wedding and engagement ring when she attended the Serpentine Summer Party with Caspar. The pair were pictured looking glum.

Meanwhile, Ellie first hinted at her romance with new man Armando weeks ago with a telling clue.

Yet the pair subtly revealed their romance last month when they shared social media snaps in the same location.

Annoucing their split, Ellie wrote: ‘In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago’

Caspar added: Ellie and I remain the closet of friends and most importantly ‘co-parents’ to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur’

Ellie first posted a snap of her in Costa Rica in January, with Armando shared a picture that same day showing the same backdrop – yet left Ellie out of frame.

Ellie has been living it up in Costa Rica as she enjoys a winter getaway with her friends and hasn’t shied away from embracing a holiday romance.

Hitting the beach this week, Ellie showed her marriage was over as she enjoyed a surfing session with Armando.

Armando and his brother Gero are licensed instructors and run La Puente Surfhouse on Playa Hermosa beach, offering accomodation and lessons.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other.

‘When Armando wasn’t teaching Ellie, he couldn’t keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss.

‘Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.’
