Ellie Goulding kisses & cuddles young surfing instructor while husband Caspar Jopling remains home in marriage riddle

POP star Ellie Goulding cosies up to a surf instructor on holiday — while her husband Caspar Jopling stays at home.

The Brit, 37, was without her wedding ring while frolicking with hunky Armando Perez in his native Costa Rica.

Ellie was given lessons by hunky Armando on a break.

And Armando certainly got hands-on, leaning in to hug and kiss the “blissfully happy” British singer on a public beach this week.

Last night a source confirmed for the first time that Ellie and Caspar were in the process of splitting after marriage difficulties last year.
