Ellie Goulding Expecting Second Baby, First With Boyfriend Beau Minniear
In a stunning revelation at the 2025 Fashion Awards held in London on December 1, Ellie Goulding proudly showcased her baby bump, marking a significant moment in her life and career. The 38-year-old singer, known for her hit “Love Me Like You Do,” donned a striking ensemble featuring a leather jacket over a black crop top that accentuated her growing belly. This public appearance comes as Goulding prepares to welcome her second child, following her four-year-old son, Arthur, with estranged husband Caspar Jopling. The news of her pregnancy is particularly notable as it will be her first child with her new boyfriend, actor Beau Minniear, who has yet to publicly comment on the joyful announcement. Goulding and Minniear began dating in July 2024, shortly after her separation from Jopling was made public in February of the same year.
Goulding’s recent personal developments come on the heels of her successful music career, which has seen a resurgence with her fifth studio album, *Higher Than Heaven*, released in April 2023. This album not only featured popular singles like “Let It Die” and “Easy Lover” but also marked a historic achievement for Goulding, as she tied with Adele for the most number one albums by a British female artist in U.K. history. Her collaboration with Calvin Harris on the track “Free” further solidified her status in the music industry, and her return to the spotlight with the emotional ballad “Destiny” last month showcased her artistic evolution. In her heartfelt Instagram post accompanying the song, Goulding expressed a newfound sense of empowerment and self-acceptance, highlighting her journey of exploring love and relationships on her own terms.
As Goulding navigates her personal and professional life, her fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter. The singer’s ability to blend her experiences into her music continues to resonate with audiences, making her not only a prominent figure in the entertainment world but also a relatable voice for many. With her growing family and ongoing musical endeavors, Ellie Goulding’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and heartfelt exploration, promising exciting times ahead for both her and her devoted fans.

; after four years of marriage, Goulding and Jopling announced their separation in Feb. 2024.
Goulding released her fifth studio album,
Higher Than Heaven
, in April 2023, featuring the singles “Let It Die,” “Easy Lover,” “By the End of the Night” and “Like a Saviour,” scoring the singer her fourth No. 1 LP in the U.K., tying her with Adele as the two British female artists with the most chart-topping albums in U.K. chart history. She debuted her fourth collaborative track with Calvin Harris, “
Free
,” during one of his residency sets at Ushuaïa in Ibiza in July 2024.
She returned last month with the personal, emotional ballad “
Destiny
,” which she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post felt like her, “finally taking control of my sexuality and surrendering to Destiny, feeling free in knowing that the prize belonged to me in some way, even if that prize was just accepting my fate with a wine and a cigarette.”
At the time, she added, “The song focuses on a superficial but intense chemistry with someone that served a purpose, for total sensual and surrendering from a type of suffering, and how powerful it can feel in that moment even if it’s not love. This was the first time perhaps that I felt a loving affinity for a person I wasn’t in love with, instead a sort of gratitude for their raw acceptance of my need for exploration and catharsis with their sex ‘I hit the lotto when I found you’ I love the old school romance of that concept. For the first time ever I didn’t need a person for validation or protection, and the person didn’t need me. But we just wanted each other. That felt like a potent shift in the way I loved myself as a whole.”
