A pal said: ‘Ellie and Caspar have been over for some time now but there was this whole carry on of them pretending to be together.
‘The fact is that it is over, Ellie moved on some time ago but she didn’t want anyone to know.’
They continued: ‘But now she is enjoying the company of other men and there is simply no way back.
‘It is so sad, especially because they have got little Arthur but they can’t make it work and now it, really sadly, is going to end in divorce. There is no way that the marriage can be saved, the only way it is going to end now is by divorcing.
‘It wasn’t necessarily the outcome they have always wanted but that’s where they are, Ellie is ready to date other men if he isn’t already, Caspar surely will be back out on the market again soon.’
