Ellie Goulding has been papped with her ex, Caspar Jopling, after the couple revealed they had called it quits in February.
The Love Me Like You Do star, 37, revealed she had been separated for "some time" from the art dealer, 32, with whom she shares son, Arthur, three, in a candid Instagram post in February.
Two months after confirming their split, the pair have been spotted in a rare outing in central London today in which Ellie can be seen carrying a tricycle, sporting a black baseball cap, leggings, Vela trainers and a sports jacket. Caspar is also head-to-toe in black - apart from his blue Adidas trainers - wearing a long hooded jumper, tracksuit bottoms and glasses.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were also guests along with their mother Sarah, Duchess of York and Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank, who was one of the groomsmen. The ceremony was followed by a lavish reception at Castle Howard, a stately home near Malton, North Yorkshire.

However, despite the starry-eyed nuptials, there were reports the bubble had burst between Ellie and Caspar earlier this year, prompting the couple to take to Instagram confirming the reports of their separation.
Posting a statement in an Instagram story, Ellie claimed she had been left with "no choice" but to publicly announce they’d broken up.
The Hertfordshire-born singer 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 son's 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."

It read: "Hi people - hope you're having a good day. I feel (sadly) that I need to say something on mine and Ellie's current relationship... that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear. Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago.
"Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time - otherwise we chose to do what we could to keep this private. Ellie and I remain the closest of friends, most importantly 'co-parents' to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur "This is the last I want to say on this - and please ask that you respect mine and Ellie's privacy. Thanks a lot. Caspar."
In March, Ellie was spotted soaking up the sun with surf instructor, Armando Perez, on the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica. Before marrying Caspar, the singer had been in relationships with McFly star Dougie Poynter, radio presenter Greg James, DJ Skrillex and actor Jeremy Irvine, and is also rumoured to have dated singer Ed Sheeran.
