Ellie Goulding has joyfully revealed the arrival of her second child, a baby girl, marking her first child with boyfriend Beau Minniear. The celebrated songstress, aged 39, already shares a four-year-old son named Arthur with her former husband, Caspar Jopling. Ellie announced this delightful news by posting a tender photograph on her official Instagram account, spreading happiness among her fans and followers worldwide.
A Glamorous Palm Royale-Themed Baby Shower
In January, Ellie Goulding was treated to an extravagant baby shower organized by her close celebrity friends in London. The event was inspired by the retro comedy series Palm Royale from Apple TV, creating a vibrant 1970s atmosphere. Ellie looked absolutely radiant in a pink Versace minidress that elegantly accentuated her pregnancy bump. She accessorized with a playful sash that humorously referenced the popular high street bakery Greggs, reading 'Preggs'.
Star-Studded Entertainment and Celebrations
The entertainment for the evening was provided by the iconic boyband Blue, with members Duncan James, Simon Webb, and Anthony Costa performing their classic hit Rise. Notably, Lee Ryan was absent from the lineup. Ellie joined the group for an impromptu rendition, adding to the festive spirit. Her supermodel friend, Brooks Nader, aged 28, shared moments from the celebration on her Instagram Stories, including a stunning selfie in a flowing orange maxi dress and backcombed blonde locks, perfectly capturing the 70s theme.
Brooks captioned her post: 'Don't temp me with a theme!! Palm Royale takes London' and later posted a clip of Ellie's spontaneous performance, remarking: 'Don't bother inviting me to a baby shower if it ain't this fun'. Guests at the event enjoyed a Palm Royale-themed cake inscribed with 'Prettiest girl in South Beach' and sampled cans of Ellie's own cocktail brand, Served.
Pregnancy Reveal and Relationship Timeline
Ellie Goulding first publicly revealed her pregnancy in early December when she walked the red carpet at the Fashion Awards, visibly pregnant. Her relationship with Beau Minniear became public knowledge in September 2025. Since then, the couple has enjoyed holidays together, including a trip to Italy where Beau shared an intimate photograph of Ellie lying in an unmade hotel room bed. Beau also features in several romantic scenes in Ellie's latest music video, Destiny.
Musical Comeback and Management Changes
This personal milestone comes amid reports that Ellie Goulding has parted ways with her management team, TaP, as she prepares for a musical comeback with her sixth studio album. The singer, whose last album was 2023's Higher Than Heaven, is believed to have ended her association with TaP late last year. A source disclosed to The Sun: 'As she moves into the new year with a strong sense of clarity, she is focused on family first with her second child due in just a few weeks.'
The source added: 'Ellie is an artist who is a proven hit machine and is one of the most important and unique voices that has come out of the UK.' Another insider told Daily Mail: 'TaP resigned from working with Ellie on December 9th. They are proud of all they achieved together but after eight years felt it was in both sides' interests to part company.' Representatives for Ellie Goulding and TaP management have been contacted for comment.
Reflections on Past Marriage and New Beginnings
Speaking about her upcoming album in an interview with NYLON, Ellie Goulding reflected on her personal journey, stating: 'It had always been the goal to start this album, I didn’t know it was going to be a divorce album, but that’s the way it started heading.' She married Caspar Jopling, the Harvard-educated grandson of Conservative MP Michael Jopling, Baron Jopling, at the historic York Minster in 2019.
Ellie expressed: 'When I married my ex-husband, I thought it was for life. That will never go away. There are some songs that are necessary for me to acknowledge that time in my life and to be respectful of it. Then there were some songs that were extremely reactionary and sad that I felt were good to do in the moment but don’t serve me long-term.'
As Ellie Goulding embraces motherhood once again and navigates her professional path, fans eagerly anticipate her new music while celebrating this joyful addition to her family.
