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 also shared a message from the art dealer which read: “Hi people – hope you’re having a good day. I feel (sadly) that I need to say something about mine and Ellie’s current relationship, that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear.”

He continued: “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. Thanks a lot Caspar.”
