Ellie Goulding Displays Pregnancy Glamour in Lace Shorts on Instagram
Ellie Goulding proudly showcased her growing baby bump in a stylish ensemble, sharing a series of photographs to Instagram on Thursday. The 39-year-old songstress, who is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her first child with boyfriend Beau Minniear, stepped out in a quirky outfit to celebrate a close friend's birthday. Ellie, who already shares four-year-old son Arthur with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling, looked radiant as she embraced her pregnancy style.
A Fashionable Outfit for a Special Occasion
For the celebratory outing, Ellie slipped into a pair of elegant silk green shorts, which she cleverly layered over sheer black tights. She added a vibrant pop of colour to her look with a three-quarter red cropped jacket, featuring eye-catching bright blue detailing. To elevate her physique, the singer donned a pair of sleek black stilettos and accessorised with sophisticated black sunglasses. Completing her relaxed yet chic ensemble, Ellie carried her essentials in a striking yellow YSL handbag, perfectly balancing comfort and fashion.
Pregnancy Announcement and Personal Updates
Ellie first revealed her pregnancy publicly while walking the red carpet at the prestigious Fashion Awards in early December. Since her relationship with Beau Minniear became public in September 2025, the couple has enjoyed romantic getaways, including a holiday in Italy where Beau shared an intimate photograph of Ellie lying in an unmade hotel room bed. He also appears in several passionate scenes in Ellie's latest music video, Destiny, highlighting their close bond.
Career Shifts and Musical Comeback Plans
Recent reports indicate that Ellie has split from her management team, TaP, as she gears up for a significant musical comeback with her sixth studio album. The hitmaker, whose last album was 2023's Higher Than Heaven, is believed to have parted ways with the firm late last year in a major career shake-up. Ellie originally signed with TaP in 2018, joining their star-studded roster alongside fellow chart-toppers Dua Lipa and Lana Del Ray.
A source close to the singer told 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. 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.' Meanwhile, another insider revealed to 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 were contacted for comment at the time.
Reflections on Marriage and New Album Themes
Speaking about her upcoming album, Ellie shared with NYLON: '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.' The singer exchanged vows with Caspar Jopling, the Harvard-educated grandson of Conservative MP Michael Jopling, Baron Jopling, at the historic Grade I listed York Minster in 2019. Reflecting on her past marriage, Ellie added: '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.'
