Wilde and Jopling Spotted Kissing in London After Private Dinner Date

Wilde, 41, and Jopling, 33, were photographed kissing outside a Notting Hill restaurant on Thursday evening.

Olivia Wilde and art dealer Caspar Jopling appear to have embarked on a new romance following their respective separations, drawing attention after being caught kissing outside a London eatery. The pair’s public display marks their first known PDA since reports of their relationship surfaced in early September.

Their surprise outing underscores both stars’ desire for privacy amid high-profile past relationships. Wilde, fresh off her split from Harry Styles, and Jopling, who finalized his separation from Ellie Goulding in February 2024, seem intent on keeping their budding relationship low-key.
