Ellie Goulding hopes for 'better tomorrow' days after announcing split

Ellie Goulding, just a few weeks after declaring her separation, admitted over the weekend that she was "feeling sad as hell" but hopes that "tomorrow will be better."

The 37-year-old singer-songwriter and her 32-year-old spouse, Caspar Jopling, announced their separation last month. The ex-couple verified the information in statements that they each posted to social media and sent to their fans.

Since then, the Love Me Like You Do singer has kept her admirers updated, and on Sunday, OK! magazine claimed, she posted on Instagram about her thoughts. "Solidarity to anyone else feeling sad as hell today. Tomorrow will be better," the BRIT Award winner remarked.

The public disclosure of Ellie and her husband Caspar's separation was made only a few weeks ago. Before last month's announcement, speculations were circulating that the couple, who jointly parent two-year-old Arthur, had broken up.

Ellie addressed the rumours by saying that she and Caspar had been apart for "some time" in her statement from last month. The former couple, according to her, "remain the closest of friends" and have been "co-parenting" with each other.

She said: "In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago. We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son's best interest at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes - we won’t be commenting further. Thank you."
