Ellie Goulding Announces She Has Given Birth To A Baby Girl

Chart-topping singer Ellie Goulding has announced that she has welcomed her second child.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Brit Award winner shared with her Instagram followers that she’d given birth to a baby daughter towards the end of last week.

Ellie wrote: “On Friday, I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. We are totally obsessed with her.

“It was fitting that I spent International Women’s Day with her and the incredible female team at St Mary’s, who provided me and my baby with extraordinary care and kindness. I will always be in awe of midwives.”

The Love Me Like You Do singer added that her family’s new arrival “fills me with so much joy”, particularly due to how excited and “so so happy” her son Arthur has been “to become a big brother to this little angel”.

She ended the post by tagging her partner, the American actor Beau Minniear, who she met on the set of her Destiny music video.

The two-time Grammy nominee’s announcement came on the same day that her fellow 2010s hitmaker Paloma Faith shared the news that she’d also given birth on Friday.

Ellie is already a mum to a four-year-old son, Arthur, who was born in April 2021.

Arthur’s father is Ellie’s ex-husband, Caspar Jopling, to whom she was married between 2019 and 2024.

In 2022, while guest editing Marie Claire magazine, she wrote: “I never believed people when they said ‘motherhood really changes you’. I thought I’d be a bit tired, have different priorities, but no. It really has changed everything about my life.

“There have been so many chemical hormonal changes that I still can’t even compute. My brain is like a different brain and I’m still trying to figure that out. While I’ve been trying to figure out the changes to my mind and body, I have been spending a lot of time by myself to reconnect and rebalance.”

Ellie announced her pregnancy in December 2025, with the British star maintaining that wanted to continue working as long as possible while she was expecting.

“I didn’t want to become just a pregnant woman first,” she told Nylon magazine in January. “Not every woman has this luxury. I have amazing people around me. I have an amazing boyfriend. I do have it a little easier in that I do have amazing support.”

She added: “I’m still working every day and still writing every day. It’s just that I am growing a human inside me.

“I’m perhaps not the most, like, Mother Earth about it, if you know what I mean? It’s a beautiful thing to be able to grow a child, and I feel very lucky that I’m healthy – but it’s not all I am right now.”
