Olivia Wilde’s romance with Caspar Jopling looks to be going from strength to strength, as she took their relationship to the next level on Saturday by introducing him to her friends.
The actress, 41, has been enjoying a series of low-key dates with the art dealer, 33, since July, after he split from singer Ellie Goulding in 2024 after five years of marriage.Â
And at the weekend, she took the significant step of integrating him into her social circle, as he joined her for dinner with her friends at The Eighty Six in New York.
Olivia looked on cloud nine as she was snapped laughing and chatting with her pals outside the restaurant, with Caspar by her side.
The Don’t Worry Darling star put on an effortlessly chic display in a simple black blazer and matching trousers, while her new boyfriend complemented her n a long dark coat and a baseball cap.
Their latest relationship milestone comes after the couple were seen taking a romantic stroll in Primrose Hill together last month, while walking Olivia’s new labradoodle.

Their romance was confirmed by Daily Mail in September after they were photographed passionately kissing outside The Pelican in London.
The public PDA came after the couple spent three hours enjoying a meal and red wine at the restaurant in the west London enclave.
Sources said Caspar, who split from Ellie, 38, after nearly five years of marriage last year, is an investor in the restaurant and its nearby sister pub, The Fat Badger, allowing him to date Olivia in relative privacy.
The source told The Mail On Sunday: ‘Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months.
‘They always manage to get the best tables – little concealed spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities.
‘They tend to go to The Fat Badger for date nights because it’s an invitation-only pub, with a secret smoking terrace upstairs.’
‘Caspar’s friends think they are falling in love. Now they are ready to be open about their relationship so you can expect to see them out and about together more often.’
The week after their passionate embrace, the pair enjoyed their first public outing together, as they attended W Magazine’s New York Fashion Week party.

Sources say the couple have been together since early July and have been enjoying romantic dates ‘under the radar’ in Notting Hill.
Notting Hill was also where singer Ellie was seen on a date with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior.

Born in Yorkshire and educated at Eton, Caspar’s father is the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, whose own father is politician Thomas Michael Jopling, a member of the House of Lords.
His uncle, who no doubt inspired his career, is renowned art dealer Jay Jopling who runs online art platform Paddle 8, where Caspar’s pal Princess Eugenie worked in New York, before moving back to London.
Jay was previously married to director Sam Taylor-Johnson, with whom he shares daughters Jessie, 18, and Angelica, 27.
Caspar’s parents divorced and his mother Jayne Warde-Aldam went on to wed Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam.
The aristocratic family own Grade II listed building Frickley Hall, which dates back to 1760. Well known in equestrian circles they host their very own Frickley Horse Trials.
It has been nearly 18 months since Ellie and Caspar – who share a five-year-old son together – separated and they are said to remain on amicable terms.
She was briefly linked to Costa Rican surfing instructor, Armando Perez, and was also said to have been close to Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, 50, who got married for the third time in September, to PR guru Hum Fleming, 35.
