British pop sensation Ellie Goulding has joyfully announced the birth of her "beautiful" baby girl with partner Beau Minniear. The 39-year-old singer, celebrated for chart-toppers like "Burn" and "Love Me Like You Do," shared the happy news with her 13.6 million Instagram followers, revealing the newborn arrived on Friday, March 6.
A Heartfelt Announcement on Social Media
In her Instagram post, Goulding wrote, "On Friday I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl," adding warmly, "We are totally obsessed with her." The artist took the opportunity to express deep appreciation for the medical professionals who supported her during the birth, particularly highlighting the female team at St Mary's Hospital.
"It was fitting that I spent International Women's Day with (my baby) and the incredible female team at St Mary's, who provided me and my baby with extraordinary care and kindness," Goulding stated. She emphasized her admiration, noting, "I will always be in awe of midwives."
Family Joy and Personal Milestones
The singer also reflected on the new addition to her family, sharing, "This addition to my family fills me with so much joy, especially as Arthur is so happy to become a big brother to this little angel." Arthur is Goulding's son from her previous marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling, born in 2021. The couple, who wed in August 2019, announced their split after nearly five years of marriage, after which Goulding began dating actor Beau Minniear.
Goulding's pregnancy was first publicly revealed in December 2025 when she showcased her baby bump on the red carpet at the Fashion Awards in London. This event also saw actress Sienna Miller announcing her own pregnancy, making it a notable moment for celebrity news.
A Stellar Career and Recent Projects
As a Brit Award-winning artist, Ellie Goulding boasts an impressive musical career with hits such as "Anything Could Happen" and "Miracle." She has achieved four number-one albums in the UK, from her debut "Lights" to her most recent release, "Higher Than Heaven," in 2023. Her latest single, "Destiny," dropped in November 2025, though details about an upcoming album remain unannounced.
Other Celebrity Birth Announcements
In a coincidental twist, singer Paloma Faith also announced on Tuesday that she had welcomed her third child, a son, on Friday. The 44-year-old shared a black-and-white photo on Instagram of her thumb and finger gently holding her newborn's hand, adding to the week's celebrity baby news.
Ellie Goulding's announcement has been met with widespread congratulations from fans and peers, marking a joyful chapter in her personal life as she continues to thrive in her professional endeavors.
