Despite the claims, Ellie and Caspar have been spotted together on numerous occasions, leading some friends to believe they may be able to rebuild their marriage.
A source told The Sun: “There have been ups and downs for a while but they always had a strong feeling that they wanted to stay together so they could both be with their son.”
“Ultimately, they tried to find a compromise where they still spend a lot of time with their son Arthur, but also sometimes live separate lives for the time being.”
“There is no discussion of divorce and neither has entered a new relationship – the priority is to keep good friends and stay friendly as they plan their next moves so they can stay close to Arthur and enjoy it mum and to be a father.” .’
