Pop star Ellie Goulding shared joyous news with the world on Monday evening, revealing she is expecting her second child while attending the prestigious Fashion Awards in London.
A Red Carpet Announcement
The 38-year-old singer, best known for her global hit Love Me Like You Do, used the high-profile event to make the exciting announcement. Ellie looked radiant and elated as she showcased her baby bump on the red carpet, stunning fans and photographers alike. She attended the ceremony wearing a stylish and revealing black ensemble, featuring a crop top and culottes that proudly displayed her bare bump.
A New Chapter with Beau Minniear
This pregnancy marks the first child for Goulding with her new partner, boyfriend Beau Minniear, 28. The couple have been dating for approximately six months, with Ellie only confirming the romance publicly in September of this year. Their relationship began after her separation from art dealer and ex-husband Caspar Jopling early last year; the pair were married for five years.
From the outset, the relationship has been described as serious and loving. A source close to the singer told the Daily Mail in September: 'It's still early days, but Ellie and Beau are very much in love, he's a real romantic, and they're very sweet together. It's really lovely to watch, she's very happy.' Goulding's commitment was further signalled when she cast Minniear in the music video for her comeback single, Destiny.
Welcoming a Sibling for Arthur
Ellie Goulding is already a mother to four-year-old son Arthur, whom she shares with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling. The upcoming arrival will be a sibling for Arthur, expanding the singer's family. The announcement at the Fashion Awards has been met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities, celebrating this new chapter in the award-winning singer's life.
