The actress, 41, has been enjoying a series of low-key dates with the art dealer, 33, since July, after he split from singer Ellie Goulding in 2024 after five years of marriage.
The couple were also joined by Olivia’s new labradoodle as they headed out for a walk in the capital together.
It was previously claimed that Olivia re-homed her last pet, a golden retriever named Gordy, in 2022 to focus on her relationship with then-boyfriend Harry Styles.
However, an animal rescue group later clarified that the dog was relocated as it struggled with ‘travelling’ and ‘being around toddlers.’
Last month, Olivia and Caspar enjoyed their first public outing together as they attended W Magazine’s New York Fashion Week party.
Just a week earlier, the couple spent three hours having a meal and drinking red wine at The Pelican restaurant in the West London enclave before their passionate embrace outside the venue.
Sources said Caspar, who split from Ellie, 38, after nearly five years of marriage last year, is an investor in the restaurant and its nearby sister pub, The Fat Badger, allowing him to date Olivia in relative privacy.
The source told The Mail On Sunday: ‘Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months.
‘They always manage to get the best tables – little concealed spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities.
‘They tend to go to The Fat Badger for date nights because it’s an invitation-only pub, with a secret smoking terrace upstairs.’
‘Caspar’s friends think they are falling in love. Now they are ready to be open about their relationship so you can expect to see them out and about together more often.’
Notting Hill was also where Ellie was seen on a date with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior.
Olivia previously dated pop star Harry Styles after breaking off her seven-year engagement to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, with whom she has two children.
Born in Yorkshire and educated at Eton, Caspar’s father is the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, whose own father is politician Thomas Michael Jopling, a member of the House of Lords.
His uncle, who no doubt inspired his career, is renowned art dealer Jay Jopling who runs online art platform Paddle 8, where Caspar’s pal Princess Eugenie worked in New York, before moving back to London.
Jay was previously married to director Sam Taylor Johnson, with whom he shares daughters Jessie, 18, and Angelica, 27.
Caspar’s parents divorced and his mother Jayne Warde-Aldam went on to wed Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam.
The aristocratic family own Grade II listed building Frickley Hall, which dates back to 1760. Well known in equestrian circles they host their very own Frickley Horse Trials.
It has been nearly 18 months since Ellie and Caspar – who have a five-year-old son – separated and they are said to remain on amicable terms.
She was briefly linked to Costa Rican surfing instructor, Armando Perez, and was also said to have been close to Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, 50, who got married for the third time yesterday, to PR guru Hum Fleming, 35.
