Ellie Goulding Welcomes Second Child and Shares Intimate Maternity Photos

Ellie Goulding, the British pop star best known for hits like Burn, has shared a heartwarming update on her growing family after welcoming her second child with boyfriend Beau Minniear. The couple’s daughter, Iris Edline, was born in March at London’s Lindo Wing, and Goulding has now posted intimate maternity photos showing Minniear kissing her bare baby bump.

The 39-year-old singer took to Instagram to share two striking images: one showing her standing in a bathroom while covering her chest, and another in a black crop top and pants, wearing large angel wings. These snapshots capture the joy, anticipation, and personal connection of her second pregnancy.

Goulding and Minniear, 28, began dating last summer after being introduced by friends. The pair celebrated the birth alongside Goulding’s eldest son, Arthur, four, from her previous marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling. A close friend commented that both Ellie and Beau are “completely smitten” with their newborn daughter.

Despite a busy few months balancing motherhood with her career — including performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland and working on her sixth studio album — Goulding took time to reflect on her second pregnancy and the happiness of her expanding family.

In her Instagram announcement, Goulding expressed gratitude for the support of the medical staff at St Mary’s Hospital and shared her joy in welcoming Iris into their lives. She described the moment as especially meaningful, noting Arthur’s excitement at becoming a big brother.

The singer has also reflected publicly on her personal journey in recent interviews, discussing how she has navigated past heartbreaks and found love again with Minniear, a theme that features in her upcoming music. Goulding emphasized that the process of pregnancy and parenthood has been a profoundly positive experience, and that she feels fortunate to be healthy and surrounded by family.

With her second child safely in her arms, Ellie Goulding continues to balance her music career, motherhood, and personal life, providing fans with a candid glimpse into the joys and challenges of family life.
