Olivia Wilde has spoken out about her relationship with Caspar Jopling for the first time. The two have been in a romantic relationship since September 2025. Jopling was previously married to singer Ellie Goulding.
In June 2026, Olivia Wilde spoke about her boyfriend Caspar Jopling for the first time in an interview. Until then, the director had kept her relationship away from the spotlight.
She told The Cut why: “When I’m around people who aren’t in the entertainment industry or who aren’t public figures, I feel like, ‘I want to protect this person as much as possible.'”
She then spoke more broadly about their dynamic. “I’m in a really nice relationship right now,” she said. “I respect him and I feel complete and intact as a person. I think that’s only possible after being single for several years. How can you know who you are if you haven’t been single for several years?”
Wilde was previously engaged to comedian Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children, Otis, 12, and Daisy, 9. She then dated pop star Harry Styles for just over a year before ending their relationship in November 2022. This will be their first public relationship since then.
Here’s everything we know so far about Caspar Jopling’s romance with Wilde.
