Ellie Goulding and her estranged husband Caspar Jopling proved they are the friendliest exes as they partied together at Glastonbury on Saturday – four months after announcing the end of their four-year marriage.
The 37-year-old singer, who moved on with surfer Armando Perez after her split, was photographed with the 32-year-old art dealer on the Other Stage watching Bloc Party.
Ellie and Caspar seemed to be having a wonderful time as they strolled around the field with friends before joining the crowd to enjoy the music.
Ellie, who has a three-year-old son, Arthur, with Caspar, kept a low profile wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses and seemed to go unnoticed by the other festival-goers.
The singer wore beige shorts and a matching vest, as well as a huge glittery ring on her right hand as she sipped from a paper cup.
Caspar was also dressed appropriately for the sunny weather and was seen giggling with Ellie, who said when announcing their split that they are still the “closest of friends” and have “successfully co-parented.”
Ellie last performed at Glastonbury in 2016.
MailOnline has contacted Ellie’s representative for comment.
The former couple released a joint statement on Instagram after it was revealed that Ellie had moved on with handsome surf instructor Armando after the two were spotted making love in Costa Rica.
Ellie’s trip to Central America was her second this year.
She and her Caspar reportedly led separate lives for at least six months, despite attempts to work things out for the benefit of their son.
The two former flames seem to be getting along well and have been spotted together a few times since announcing their split.
In April, the couple spent time with their son in London. Ellie pulled the little one’s tricycle as they walked back to their car after the family outing.
In May, the two were seen taking a walk one day after Ellie returned from Costa Rica, where she had spent time with her new surfer boyfriend.
Their union was formed after she was spotted taking a sunset swim with the surf instructor near the small beach town of Santa Teresa.

She met the attractive man in December during a girls’ holiday in the Central American country, which borders Nicaragua and Panama.
In February, after rumors surfaced that she and Caspar had been separated for six months, photos surfaced showing the “Burn” singer kissing and cuddling the handsome surfer in the ocean without a wedding ring, fueling speculation even further.
This led to the couple publicly announcing their split. Ellie wrote on Instagram: “In light of recent stories, I feel I have no choice but to share with you all that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.”
“We are still the closest of friends and are successfully raising our son together, with our son’s well-being at heart.”
“We are committed to protecting our family’s privacy and thank everyone in advance who respects our wishes. We will not be making any further comments. Thank you.”
Friends of the couple told MailOnline that “divorce is the only way out” after they split following two years of battling to save their relationship.
In April, it was announced that Ellie had processed her grief over the breakup in her new music.
At a one-off performance at the Royal Albert Hall, she presented one of the emotional songs, “Easy To Love Me,” for the first time, in which she talks about the separation.
To make Ellie’s performance in the British capital this week even more devastating, Caspar sat in the audience and watched.
In the song she sings: “Every mistake I made was the last, and yet you still fight for us.”
“I know it’s not easy to love me, but I’m yours if you want me. // I know it’s not easy to love me, but I’m yours, so completely. // I tried to soak up all the water you had to wade through just to get to me.”
Later in the play she continues: “Maybe I’m too much for you. All these questions hurt my head.”
“I’ve finally found something true. I might lose it, but you know I’ll be there.”
About writing the song with Canadian producer and songwriter Jack Rochon, Ellie said, according to The Sun: “We wrote that, but that’s what I do – I write from the heart and I write what I feel and think about the consequences afterwards.”
“I’m writing a new album. I hope it comes out this year. I’ve been working pretty hard on it and it sounds good.”
