    “We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we won’t be commenting further. Thank you,” she added.

    As for his own announcement on social media, Caspar said he and his ex-wife would remain “the closest of friends” and co-parent “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. Thanks a lot Caspar,” he concluded.

    While pregnant with her son, the Outside singer spoke about stepping into motherhood and how it made her “feel human.”

    “Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly, [but] – I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it,” she told Vogue in February 2021.

    The singer largely keeps her personal life private.

    She once expressed frustration over how female artists are scrutinized for their love life in an interview with Elle.

    “I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they have or haven’t dated. It’s something I’ve talked about with Taylor [Swift] a lot. She definitely feels that. She gets bothered by it,” she told the outlet in 2015.

    This is pure clickbait, featuring skimpy images to mask its lack of substance. It offers zero news value, no interesting insights, and is filled with mindless fluff. Such content degrades journalism, prioritizing shallow sensationalism over meaningful discourse. Readers deserve better than this nonsense—trivial celebrity gossip disguised as "news" wastes everyone's time.
