Ellie Goulding and her estranged husband Caspar Jopling looked closer than ever as they enjoyed an al fresco dinner together in London’s Notting Hill.
The former couple, who publicly confirmed they had split in February, vowed to remain the ‘closest of friends’ as they navigated co-parenting their son Arthur, three.
Ellie and Caspar appeared on great terms as they were pictured smoking and drinking outside a restaurant in the upmarket area.
The singer, 37, flashed a beaming smile as she walked alongside the art dealer, 32, as they left the eatery separately after meeting for dinner.
Ellie looked chic in a black blazer with a form-fitting top and leather trousers, while toting a Stella McCartney bag under her arm.
Meanwhile, Caspar cut a cool figure in a beige jacket with black trousers, while accessorising with a baseball cap and a pair of glasses.
It comes just days after Ellie and Caspar reunited for a stroll in London after she returned from her trip to Costa Rica.
Ellie wore black leather trousers paired with a blazer and Stella McCartney handbag while Caspar also wore an all-black ensemble paired with blue Adidas trainers and a navy cap.
Later in the day, Ellie shared a snap attending the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday to support her beloved team Leeds United.
Caspar previously revealed the singer was also a supporter of the team, posting a photo of her wearing the club’s maroon third shirt.
Their outing comes soon after Ellie documented her latest trip to Costa Rica in a flurry of Instagram snaps on Wednesday.
The British star put her fantastic figure on display as she modelled a skimpy black bikini that showcased her toned abs and peachy bottom.
She posed up a storm on Playa Hermosa beach where she had been photographed frolicking with new boyfriend Armando Perez and a friend on Friday.
As well as spending time by the ocean, the mother-of-one explored the lush rainforest on her trip.
Ellie captioned the snaps ‘Opacity’, meaning the quality of being difficult to understand or know about.
It marks the latest trip the singer has made to to the Central American country since ringing in the New Year in the tropical country that borders Nicaragua and Panama.
Ellie first met Armando while on a girl’s holiday in the surfer’s paradise in December.
Since then, Ellie, who confirmed her split from the father of her child Caspar, in February, has been spotted several times on the vast coastline near Santa Teresa.

Her first appearance alongside the surf instructor, who previously taught Colombian singer Shakira on the same beach, sparked a flurry of rumours that she had separated from art-dealer Armando.
The pictures taken in February which showed Ellie frolicking around in the sea with Armando without her wedding ring only fuelled speculation that she and her husband had been living apart for six months.
The once-loved couple, who were married in August 2019 at York Minster surrounded by A-list guests, were said to be trying to work out for their three-year-old son Arthur.
After the first images emerged of Ellie cuddling up to Armando, the musician wrote on Instagram: ‘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. Thank you.’
