IN just a few days, pop princess Ellie Goulding will be marrying her long-term beau Caspar Jopling.
Here is everything you need to know about the singer’s upcoming wedding, along with a rundown of her biggest accomplishments.
Ellie Goulding, 32, is a British singer-songwriter from Hereford.
Her music career took off when she met producers Starsmith and FrankMusik.
In 2009 she signed to Polydor records.
Her manager Jamie Lillywhite spotted her at a talent contest at Kent University.
In 2010 she released her debut studio album Lights which topped the UK charts, selling over 850,000 copies.
Ellie Goulding is expected to marry Caspar Jopling in an intimate ceremony on Saturday, August 31 in North Yorkshire.
The couple has chosen Castle Howard as their wedding location, with a number of famous faces expected to attend Ellie’s big day.
In July, The Sun revealed how Ellie’s star-studded guest list included Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, whom she has remained close friends with over the years.
The Starr Eyed hitmaker famously performed at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s special day back in 2011, with sources revealing that she’s deemed as a friend to the royal family.
So, don’t be surprised to see other royals make an appearance.
On August 28, Mail Online obtained photos of more than 50 onsite staff members preparing for the wedding by erecting marquees, teepees, and setting up a large stage where the couple is expected to hold its festival-themed celebrations.
And it looks as if Ellie and Caspar are looking to spend quite a bit of money for the big occasion, with their flower arrangement already setting them back by £20,000.
Ellie Goulding has penned a number of hits during the course of her career.
Her cover of Elton John’s Your Song from her debut album reached number two in the UK charts.
Ellie’s second album Halcyon was released in 2012 and the lead single Anything Could Happen reached number one after 65 weeks in the charts.
Burn, released in 2013 was her first UK number-one single.
Delirium, released in 2015 was Ellie’s third studio album and contained the popular single On My Mind.
At the 2014 Brit Awards Ellie won the award for Best Female Solo Artist.
Her single Love Me Like You Do, from the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack earned her a Grammy nomination.
In 2016 she wrote Still Falling For Your for the Bridget Jones’ Baby soundtrack.
Ellie Goulding was rumoured to be dating Prince Harry after the pair were spotted canoodling at the Audi Polo Challenge in May 2016.
They became friends after meeting at Prince William’s wedding in 2011 and reportedly exchanged flirty text messages.
At the time, a source close to Harry told The Sun: “He has told friends how much he likes Ellie and she is clearly taken by him.”
Prince Harry is also rumoured to have dated lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce and TV presenter Caroline Flack.
At the start of her career Ellie experienced problems with anxiety and panic attacks,
Speaking to The Sun in 2012 she said: “There were times when I felt like I was having a heart attack.
“There was too much adrenaline and my heart was pounding. It’s just such a horrible, horrible thing to go through.
She added: “I had to take Diazepam but I found it debilitating. I couldn’t do anything so I had cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) instead and that actually really worked.”
Caspar Jopling is a New York based art dealer who works at auction house Sotheby’s.
He is rumoured to have been having a long distance relationship with Ellie since 2017.
An insider told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “Things with Caspar are very casual but they have hooked up a few times and seem to like each other. But she’s officially single.
“With Ellie it’s hard to tell which romances will become serious as she’s so focused on her music.”
But a post on Caspar’s Instagram in March 2018 suggests that the pair could be an item.
An announcement in the Times revealed the pair’s intentions to get married.
It said: “Mr C.W.F. Jopling and Miss E.J. Goulding.
“The engagement is announce between Caspar, son of The Hon Nicholas Jopling of Yorkshire and Mrs Jayne Warde-Aldam of Yorkshire, and Elena, daughter of Mr Arthur Goulding of Hertfordshire and Mrs Tracey Sumner of West Midlands.”
A source told the Sun’s Bizarre column: “The couple wanted to tell friends and family first and people won’t notice because her name is Elena.
“She’s over the moon and has never felt so happy.”
Ellie Goulding has dated a string of high-profile celebs…
In 2014, Ed Sheeran released the single Don’t from his second studio album.
The song is about being cheated on and has lyrics such as “And I never saw him as a threat, until you disappeared with him to have sex.”
He later admitted that he wrote it about Ellie Goulding who supposedly cheated on him with One Direction star Niall Horan.
The following year Ellie Goulding released On My Mind which many view as a response to Ed’s track although she denies this.
The lyrics include “You don’t mess with love, you mess with the truth” and “You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos.”
