Back together but looking glum in the sun… Ellie Goulding and husband pictured after her split from Zac Goldsmith
Singer Ellie Goulding may be back with her husband… but neither of them seem particularly happy about it.
The pop star recently reconciled with art dealer Caspar Jopling after quitting her increasingly close friendship with Tory peer Zac Goldsmith.
But as our exclusive photo shows, the newly reunited couple looked somber as they walked – some distance apart – through West London.
They chose not to hold hands, nor did they wear wedding rings.
Mrs Goulding, 36, dressed in a casual shirt and trousers for the walk with Caspar, 31, who carried a scooter and helmet belonging to their son Arthur, two.

The distance between them was a contrast to when Ms Goulding was seen close to Lord Goldsmith, 48, near his £3million west London mansion last month.
The pair had developed a relationship over their shared passion for tackling climate change and bonded following the breakdown of Lord Goldsmith’s marriage to his second wife, Alice Rothschild, after ten tears.
The friendship was described as unlikely as Lord Goldsmith is the Eton-educated son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, while Mrs Goulding grew up on a council estate in Herefordshire.
They met for the first time at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow in November 2021.

But the Daily Mail revealed last week that Mrs Goulding had chosen to stop spending time with Zac and focus on saving her marriage.
Seven months later they were spotted having lunch together at chic cafe The Garden in Covent Garden and later at The Wolseley restaurant in Mayfair.
In October last year they were at the same party at exclusive London members club 5 Hertford Street and just weeks later they reunited for the next climate summit, COP27, in Egypt.
