Ellie Goulding Expecting Second Baby, First With Boyfriend Beau Minniear

Ellie Goulding revealed her baby bump on the red carpet of the 2025 Fashion Awards in London on Monday (Dec. 1). The 38-year-old “Love Me Like You Do” singer showed off her baby bump at the event while wearing a leather jacket over a black crop top, which revealed her bare belly bump.

Goulding had not commented on the news at press time, but People noted that the child will be her second — she has a four-year-old son, Arthur, with her estranged husband art dealer Caspar Jopling — and her first with new boyfriend actor Beau Minniear (Night at the Eagle Inn, Bad Haircut), who also did not appear to have commented on the pregnancy at press time. According to the magazine, the couple began dating in July of this year when Minniear shared a photo roll that included a snap of Goulding, seemingly naked, in bed; 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.”
