Ellie Goulding strips down for racy bedroom snap as ex-husband sparks romance with Olivia Wilde
The singer’s nude Instagram moment surfaces as her ex-husband’s relationship with Olivia Wilde moves into public view, fueling renewed scrutiny of their intertwined circle.
Ellie Goulding has drawn renewed attention to her private life after a racy bedroom photo surfaced on social media. The British singer, 38, appeared fully nude in bed in a photo posted as part of a July 29 carousel by her boyfriend, actor Beau Minniear. Goulding liked the post, signaling her approval of the glimpse, which shows her lying on her side with her arms wrapped around herself. While her face is not visible, the image clearly displays a bare left leg and back.
Minniar captioned the series “Banditi” as he shared a look at how he spent his summer. The post drew rapid notice from Goulding’s fans, with several accounts offering words of support for the couple. The two have been seen together in public in London on multiple occasions, including a Sept. 4 stroll observed by photographers. In at least one image obtained by the Daily Mail, Minniear’s hand rested on Goulding’s waist as the pair walked side by side. The surrounding chatter has kept Goulding at the center of a high-profile tabloid storyline, given her history and starpower.
Goulding’s public life intersects with that of her ex-husband, Caspar Jopling. The couple, who wed in 2019, confirmed their split in February 2024 after four years of marriage. They share a four-year-old son, Arthur. Since February 2024, Jopling has moved on in the public eye, most notably with Olivia Wilde, the 41-year-old actor and director.
Earlier this month, Jopling was photographed sharing a kiss with Wilde after a three-hour dinner date at The Pelican restaurant in London, according to Page Six. The two publicly acknowledged their romance at a W Magazine party during New York Fashion Week, with witnesses saying they could hardly keep their hands off each other. The pair also reportedly kissed passionately in the street before getting into the same taxi, according to eyewitnesses cited by Page Six. About a week after that sighting, Wilde and Jopling appeared together at another W Magazine party during New York Fashion Week.
The evolving romance within Goulding’s circle has kept the story in tabloid and entertainment news. Goulding and Minniear have been photographed in the city on several occasions, suggesting a steady relationship amid public chatter about her former marriage. The Sun quoted a source describing Goulding as being “into Beau,” noting shared interests such as exercise and art. Goulding’s representatives have not publicly weighed in on the personal details that continue to unfold in headlines.
Ellie Goulding’s latest social-media moment and the ongoing public romance of her ex-husband with Wilde sit squarely in the crosshairs of Culture & Entertainment coverage, illustrating how celebrity personal lives continue to intersect with the industry’s broader conversations about relationships, media consumption, and public perception.
