Jopling's statement continued: "Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago. Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time – otherwise we chose to do what we could to keep this private.
"Ellie and I remain the closest of friends and, most importantly, 'co-parents' to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur. This is the last I want to say on this – and please ask that you respect mine and Ellie's privacy."
Goudling gave birth to her son in April 2021, after announcing her pregnancy in February of that year.
