The art of fatherhood is a joy for Jay
IT’S BEEN a bumper year for the Jopling family. Just months after Old Etonian art dealer Caspar married pop star Ellie Goulding, his uncle, gallerist Jay Jopling, has become a father again at 56.
His fiancee, glamorous art curator Hikari Yokoyama (right with Jay), has given birth to their first child, Djuna Mei Jopling. ‘Caught in a whirlwind of indescribable overwhelming love,’ says Hikari, 38. ‘Life changed for ever upon seeing her perfect little face looking into mine.’
Jay, whose trendy White Cube gallery in London made stars of Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, has two other daughters with film director Sam Taylor- Johnson.
