The chart-topping singer proudly revealed she is expecting a baby with her partner Beau Minniear, following a fast-growing romance and major personal transformation in 2024.
British pop sensation Ellie Goulding has revealed she is expecting a baby with her partner, rising actor Beau Minniear, after making a surprise appearance at the Fashion Awards where she proudly showcased her growing bump.
The 38-year-old star, best known internationally for her hit “Love Me Like You Do,” arrived on the red carpet glowing with excitement, marking a major milestone following a whirlwind romance that has captivated fans and the entertainment world.
The pregnancy news comes as Goulding continues navigating a new chapter in both her personal and professional life. The Grammy-nominated singer is already a mother to her four-year-old son, Arthur, whom she shares with her former husband, art dealer Caspar Jopling.
The couple married in August 2019 in a widely reported ceremony attended by numerous high-profile guests but announced their separation earlier this year, in February 2024.
Goulding and Minniear were first linked in mid-2024 after being spotted enjoying a series of dates, reportedly forming an immediate and close connection.
Minniear, 28, has appeared in a range of independent films and supporting roles in American television projects and is quickly becoming recognized within industry circles.
The pair fueled speculation over the summer when they took a romantic short break to Italy, followed by a joint appearance in London where they were photographed attending the Usyk vs. Dubois fight at Wembley Stadium, seated together ringside.
Since then, Minniear has not hesitated to share affectionate snapshots of their relationship on Instagram, confirming that the couple are very much in love.
A source close to the pair previously revealed that they bonded over shared passions, including fitness, art, and travel, describing them as an “extremely compatible and happy couple.” Their public outing at the Fashion Awards has now officially confirmed what many fans had predicted for weeks.
While stepping into motherhood again, Goulding is equally immersed in her musical career.
One of the most streamed British female artists of the 21st century—amassing more than 43 billion global streams—she released her fifth studio album “Higher Than Heaven” in 2023 and has since been working on new music that she describes as deeply reflective.
Speaking recently about her new creative direction, she explained that writing this new project has allowed her time to reconnect with personal themes and emotional expression.
“I’ve been writing about what’s been happening in my life,” she shared, noting that she has spent more time in the studio than ever before. “Sometimes the best songs come from sitting with close friends, drinking tea, and talking. It’s taken time, but it’s time I’ve needed.”
Goulding also revealed that she has completed a yet-to-be-released classical album, a project inspired by her long-standing passion for classical music—offering fans something unexpectedly different from her signature pop sound.
As she steps confidently into this exciting new phase, fans and supporters have flooded social media with congratulations and warm messages celebrating both her pregnancy and her renewed happiness.
With a new baby on the way and major musical releases in development, 2025 promises to be a transformative year for the superstar.
Neither Goulding nor Minniear have yet shared the baby’s due date, but the couple appeared joyful and united as they celebrated the moment on the red carpet—an evening that will no doubt be remembered as one of the most meaningful of her career and personal journey.
