Ellie Goulding has shared a tender look back at her second pregnancy, posting intimate maternity photos with boyfriend Beau Minniear after welcoming their baby daughter.
The Burn singer, 39, gave fans a rare glimpse into one of the most personal chapters of her life, sharing images from before she gave birth to little Iris earlier this year.
In one touching photo, Ellie stood in a bathroom while Beau gently kissed her bare baby bump.
The image was simple, quiet and deeply affectionate — not a polished red-carpet moment, but a private memory from the final days before their daughter arrived.
Ellie shared the pictures without a caption, letting the emotion of the images speak for itself.
And for fans, it was a beautiful reminder of just how much her life has changed.
After a whirlwind few months as a mum-of-two, Ellie appears to be looking back at pregnancy with tenderness, gratitude and maybe even a little disbelief.
She and Beau welcomed their daughter Iris in March, adding a new little girl to Ellie’s family. The singer is already mum to son Arthur, four, from her previous marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling.
Now, Arthur is a big brother.
Ellie is a mum of two.
And Beau is stepping into fatherhood with her by his side. 💗
The couple began dating last summer after being introduced through friends, and their relationship quickly became one of the most talked-about new romances in showbiz.
Beau, 28, is an actor who appeared in The Beekeeper alongside Jason Statham. But in Ellie’s latest photos, there is no Hollywood gloss or dramatic posing.
Just a couple caught in a soft, intimate moment before everything changed.
The second image Ellie shared showed her in a black crop top and trousers, wearing a huge pair of angel wings — a striking, almost dreamlike maternity look that captured both strength and vulnerability.
It felt very Ellie.
Romantic, artistic and a little unexpected.
Her pregnancy was first revealed at the British Fashion Awards in December, when she stepped out with her growing bump and instantly sparked headlines. At the time, fans were surprised and delighted by the news that she was expecting again.
Since then, Ellie has spoken honestly about pregnancy, motherhood and the balancing act of still working while growing a baby.
She admitted she was not always the most “Mother Earth” about pregnancy, but said she felt lucky to be healthy and supported.
That honesty is part of what makes Ellie so relatable.
She does not pretend motherhood is only soft lighting and perfect moments.
She knows it can be beautiful, exhausting, confusing and overwhelming all at once.
And now, with baby Iris safely here, the singer seems to be embracing the newborn bubble while also stepping back into her creative world.
After giving birth, Ellie shared a sweet first image of her baby daughter and praised the team at St Mary’s Hospital for their care and kindness. She said she would always be in awe of midwives, a message that touched many mothers who understood the emotion behind those words.
She also said Arthur was happy to become a big brother to his “little angel.”
That detail made the announcement even sweeter.
For Ellie, this is not just the arrival of another baby.
It is the reshaping of her family after a period of major change.
Her marriage to Caspar Jopling ended publicly, and she has now confirmed that her upcoming music will touch on heartbreak, healing and falling in love again.
Her new album, I Know Too Much, is expected to be one of her most personal yet. Ellie has described the title track as brutally honest, saying it reflects what she has lived through and learned.
That makes this moment feel even more powerful.
Ellie is not simply posting pretty pregnancy pictures.
She is showing a woman in transition.
A mother.
An artist.
Someone who has known heartbreak but found love again.
Someone who is writing about the past while holding the future in her arms.
In recent weeks, Ellie has also returned to the stage, including a headline set at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland, proving that motherhood and music are now moving side by side in her life.
There will be sleepless nights.
There will be studio sessions.
There will be nappies, lyrics, baby cuddles and tour plans.
But Ellie seems ready for all of it.
Her intimate photos with Beau captured a moment just before their world expanded — before Iris arrived, before the newborn bubble began, before Ellie became a mother of two.
And perhaps that is why fans found them so moving.
They were not loud.
They were not staged for shock.
They were simply full of love.
A kiss on a baby bump.
A mother remembering the body that carried her daughter.
A couple beginning a new chapter together.
For Ellie Goulding, life now looks softer, fuller and more emotional than ever.
And baby Iris has arrived right at the heart of it. 💕
