In a statement released on Friday, Ellie and the art dealer finally addressed their split with friends of the couple, telling MailOnline that “divorce is the only outcome” (pictured June 2023; Ellie is seen without his ring).

Ellie frolicked on the beach, sharing kisses and hugs with the sun-kissed hunk, proving her four-year marriage to husband Caspar, 31, was over after months of speculation.

In a statement issued on Friday, Ellie and the art dealer finally addressed their split, with friends of the couple telling MailOnline that she had “moved on some time ago”.

Armando and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente hostel and surfhouse on the west coast and promised the star he’d ride his “wave of the day” during lessons starting at $50.

Ellie seemed to be embracing the next chapter as she splashed around in the sea with the surfer and his friends.

The trip to Costa Rica is the second this year. Ellie is believed to have met her new love interest during a previous holiday in January.

The sun-kissed surf instructor seen kissing Ellie is known as Tio to his friends and promises to be a patient teacher and help students “read the sea” as long as they are “patient” and “respect its power.” .

He has surfed the same stretch of the Pacific Ocean since he was a child after his parents moved to the beach resort of Playa Hermosa, near the border with Nicaragua.

‘I’ve been surfing since I was a kid. The waves of Playa Hermosa are my home and I am a very good host,’ he wrote on his website.

And in addition to being a master at his craft, including his signature “back attack” move, the handsome instructor is a big hit with his students.

In the photo without her wedding ring, Ellie was seen with Armando putting his arms around her waist as they kissed in the sea.

In June, the Costa Rican surfer took Shakira for a lesson while the hitmaker was on vacation in his home country.

Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar reportedly lived separate lives for at least six months, despite trying to patch things up for the sake of their two-year-old son Arthur.

The couple are now expected to divorce after confirming their four-year marriage is over after exhausting all possibilities, MailOnline can reveal.

In a statement, the musician wrote: “In light of recent stories, I feel I have no choice but to let everyone know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.”

‘We remain the closest of friends and have successfully co-parented with our children’s best interests in mind. We are committed to protecting our family’s privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes; We will not comment further. Thank you.’

Friends of the couple told MailOnline that “divorce is the only outcome” after they split after two years fighting to save their relationship.

Sources close to Ellie have said that it is not the ideal ending for her but it is the ‘only’ one after exhausting all possibilities with Caspar.

A friend said: ‘Ellie and Caspar have been together for some time but were still pretending to be together.

“The fact is it’s over, Ellie moved away a while ago but she didn’t want anyone to know.”

They continued: ‘But now she enjoys the company of other men and there is simply no turning back.

“It’s very sad, especially because they have little Arthur but they can’t make it work and now, very sadly, it’s going to end in divorce.” There is no way the marriage can be saved, the only way to end it now is to get divorced.

“It wasn’t necessarily the outcome they had always wanted, but that’s where they are, Ellie is ready to date other men if he isn’t already, Caspar will surely be back on the market soon.”

The exes were last seen together in October during a family day out, after the musician ended his friendship with fellow conservative Zac Goldsmith to “focus on his marriage.”

Ellie and Caspar married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

Their split was first rumored in June 2023, when sources claimed they were “living apart.”

After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their split, the pop star’s team finally revealed that they had been spending time apart, blaming their ‘hectic schedules’ for the demise of their marriage.

That same month, Ellie was seen without her wedding and engagement ring when she attended the Serpentine Summer Party with Caspar. The couple was photographed looking sad.

In October, Ellie called off her increasingly close friendship with fellow conservative Zac, 48, after they were spotted together on numerous occasions.

The couple had developed a relationship over their shared passion for tackling climate change and became closer after Lord Goldsmith’s marriage to his second wife, Alice Rothschild, broke down after ten tears.

The friendship had been described as unlikely, as Lord Goldsmith is the Eton-educated son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, while Ellie grew up on a council estate in Herefordshire.

However, the singer has made many friends in high society, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were guests at her star-studded wedding to Mr Jopling at York Minster in 2019.

Lord Goldsmith was previously married to fellow environmentalist Sheherazade Bentley, but they separated in 2010. He resigned as minister in June after accusing Rishi Sunak of being “not interested” in the environment.

Ellie and Lord Goldsmith first met at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow in November 2021.

Seven months later, they were spotted enjoying lunch together at exclusive The Garden cafe in Covent Garden and were later spotted at The Wolseley restaurant in Mayfair.

In October 2022 they were at the same party at the exclusive London members’ club, 5 Hertford Street, and just a few weeks later they met for the next climate change summit, COP27, in Egypt.

But the Daily Mail later revealed that Ellie had decided to stop spending time with Zac to focus on saving her marriage.
