Caspar who is five-years younger than the ‘Love Me Like You Do’ singer –has been dating her for the last 18-months and just when you thought he may not be suitable for the blonde songstress, we learned about who he is and what’s his deal.

Following his graduation he moved to New York –where he currently lives in a Soho apartment. As for his family roots, his grandfather happens to be famous politician Michael Jopling, and his brother is the very successful art dealer Jay Jopling.
