Ellie Goulding was in high spirits as she joined her ex-husband Caspar Jopling at a star-studded private party at Chiltern Firehouse in London on Thursday.
The singer, 38, has moved on from their marriage with new man Beau Minniear, 28, but proved she is still good friends with the the art dealer, 33.
Earlier this month, Caspar was spotted kissing Olivia Wilde in London. They later made their first public outing together at W Magazine's New York Fashion Week party this week.
Celebrating the reopening of Chiltern Firehouse as Fashion Week kicks off in the capital, the former couple joined a host of celebrity guests.
Ellie wore a black, sheer blouse which she teamed with a pair of smart shorts and platform heels as she walked arm-in-arm with a friend.
Caspar also opted for an all-black outfit, pairing a bomber jacker with trousers and Nike trainers.
Caspar and Ellie split last year after nearly five years of marriage and share four-year-old Arthur.
The pair weren't the only exes in at the party with Poppy Delevingne and James Cook also in attendance.
While choosing not to officially announce their split, in 2023, Poppy started dating Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark - sparking speculation that she and James had separated permanently.
In September last year, she finally broke her silence on the divorce, saying she 'will always have a good relationship' with James.
The socialite and sister of Cara Delevingne later welcomed daughter Kaia Moon with her billionaire businessman partner Archie Keswick on May 20.
Meanwhile, James became engaged to his girlfriend, Lauren Brown, in April, three years after the collapse of his marriage.
Chiltern Firehouse was badly damaged by a large fire in February, with a limited number of guests being invited back inside for the first time this week.
Caspar and Olivia are said to have been dating since July with the pair enjoying a series of ‘under the radar’ in Notting Hill.
They spent three hours having a meal and drinking red wine at The Pelican restaurant in the West London enclave before their passionate embrace outside the venue.
Sources said Caspar is an investor in the restaurant and its nearby sister pub, The Fat Badger, allowing him to date Olivia in relative privacy.
The source told Daily Mail: ‘Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months.
'They always manage to get the best tables – little concealed spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities.
'They tend to go to The Fat Badger for date nights because it’s an invitation-only pub, with a secret smoking terrace upstairs.’
Olivia previously dated pop star Harry Styles after breaking off her seven-year engagement to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, with whom she has two children.
Notting Hill was also where Ellie was seen on a date with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior.
According to The Sun Ellie is thought to have met actor Beau - who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year.
In July she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials.
The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account.
Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps.
They also reportedly spotted that the pair both posted photos from the same hotel in Florence - before attending a boxing match together.
A source told the publication: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.'
A representative for Ellie has been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment.
Born in Yorkshire and educated at Eton, Caspar's father is the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, whose own father is politician Thomas Michael Jopling, a member of the House of Lords.
His uncle, who no doubt inspired his career, is renowned art dealer Jay Jopling who runs online art platform Paddle 8, where Capsar's pal Princess Eugenie worked in New York, before moving back to London.
Jay was previously married to director Sam Taylor Johnson, with whom he shares daughters Jessie, 18, and Angelica, 27.
Caspar's parents divorced and his mother Jayne Warde-Aldam went on to wed Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam.
The aristocratic family own Grade II listed building Frickley Hall, which dates back to 1760. Well known in equestrian circles they host their very own Frickley Horse Trials.
