London, Sept 7, 2025 — Hollywood actress and director Olivia Wilde has officially stepped into a new romance, and the world is watching. A photo of Wilde passionately kissing British art dealer Caspar Jopling — ex-husband of singer Ellie Goulding — has gone viral, confirming months of speculation about their relationship.
The image, snapped outside The Pelican restaurant in Notting Hill, has racked up over 2 million views across X, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans and tabloids buzzing about the unexpected pairing.
The Viral Moment That Made It Official
The now-famous photo shows Wilde, 41, and Jopling, 33, locked in a passionate embrace under the London night sky. The couple had just finished a three-hour dinner date, sipping red wine and laughing at a candlelit table.
“They always manage to get the best tables — little concealed spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities,” a source told The Mail on Sunday. “Caspar’s friends think they are falling in love.”
Inside Their Secret London Dates
Jopling, an investor in The Pelican and its sister pub, The Fat Badger, has been quietly wooing Wilde since early July. The pair reportedly chose these venues for their privacy and exclusivity.
“Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months,” the source added. “They tend to go to the Fat Badger for date nights because it’s an invitation-only pub, with a secret smoking terrace upstairs.”
Past Relationships and New Beginnings
Caspar split from Ellie Goulding last year after five years of marriage. They share a son and remain on amicable terms. Wilde, meanwhile, shares two children with actor Jason Sudeikis and previously dated Harry Styles.
The viral photo marks Wilde’s first public romance since her split from Styles in 2022 — and fans are already calling the new couple “Casvia.”
