Hollywood actress and director Olivia Wilde appears to be taking significant strides in her romantic journey with British art dealer Caspar Jopling, with their bond reportedly growing stronger than ever. The couple was recently seen together at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where Wilde made a notable impact with the debut of two of her latest cinematic projects.
A Public Appearance at Sundance
According to a detailed report from People magazine, Jopling was present at the festival, supporting Wilde as she premiered her films 'The Invite' and 'I Want Your Sex'. This public appearance marks another step in their evolving relationship, which has been capturing attention since they were first spotted together in late 2025.
Sources Indicate Serious Commitment
A source close to the couple revealed to People that the relationship is progressing towards a more serious phase. "It seems to be getting serious. He's introduced her to his family and friends," the insider shared, highlighting the deepening connection between the 41-year-old actress and the Harvard-educated art dealer.
Further evidence of their closeness emerged through Wilde's social media activity. She recently posted an Instagram carousel that included a snapshot of her embracing Jopling, though his head was just out of the frame, adding a touch of intimacy to their public persona.
Background of the Couple
The couple initially went public with their romance in September 2025, when they were photographed sharing a kiss outside a restaurant in London. Jopling, who comes from an academic and artistic background, was previously married to singer Ellie Goulding. Their marriage lasted from 2019 until their separation announcement in February 2024, and they share a son named Arthur, born in 2021.
On her part, Olivia Wilde shares two children with her ex-fiancé, actor and comedian Jason Sudeikis. Their son Otis is 10 years old, and daughter Daisy is 8. Wilde and Sudeikis ended their engagement in 2020 after a long-term relationship.
Wilde's Cinematic Triumphs at Sundance
The 2026 Sundance Film Festival proved to be a landmark event for Olivia Wilde, both personally and professionally. Her film 'The Invite' became one of the first major deals to emerge from the festival, with A24 acquiring the U.S. rights after an intense 72-hour bidding war. The marital comedy, which is based on Cesc Gay's Sentimental, features an all-star cast including Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, and Wilde herself, who also directed the project.
The premiere of 'The Invite' at the Eccles Theatre on Saturday night received rave reviews and a standing ovation from the audience, marking a significant achievement for Wilde. This film represents her third directorial effort, following the critically acclaimed Booksmart in 2019 and Don't Worry Darling in 2022.
Dual Film Debuts
In addition to 'The Invite', Wilde also starred in indie filmmaker Gregg Araki's 'I Want Your Sex', which premiered on Friday, January 23. In this provocative role, she portrays an artist who engages in a charged and unconventional dynamic with a younger character, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
The simultaneous debut of two films at Sundance underscores Wilde's growing influence in the entertainment industry, balancing her roles as a director, actress, and now, as someone navigating a new romantic relationship in the public eye.
