EMILY PRESCOTT: Ellie Goulding lets the sun set on a rocky romantic year having reportedly split from her art dealer husband Caspar Jopling

Pop  star Ellie Goulding puts a turbulent romantic year behind her to start 2024 with a sunnier outlook as she holidays with hotel heiress Alessandra Balazs.

Alessandra, the actress daughter of Andre Balazs, owner of London’s A-list venue Chiltern Firehouse, shared this snap below, with the Starry Eyed singer. Last summer Ellie, 37, reportedly split with art dealer husband Caspar Jopling, 31, with whom she has a son, Arthur. She then had a friendship with peer Zac Goldsmith, 48, which she is said to have ended to focus on her marriage.

If anyone is jealous of this girls’ trip, it isn’t Rita Ora’s music exec sister Elena, 35, who is singing the praises of solo holidays in Antigua  where she spends her time meditating – and taking selfies.

Meanwhile, after spending Christmas at his parents’ Glen Affric estate in Scotland, former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews and model wife Vogue Williams have rented a seven-bedroom French Alps chalet – a mere snip at £19,550 a week.
