Ellie Goulding surprised fans on Monday evening as she arrived at the 2025 Fashion Awards with a look that doubled as a red-carpet statement and a pregnancy announcement.
The 38-year-old singer stepped onto the London red carpet wearing a cropped black top beneath an oversized leather jacket, revealing her bare bump for the first time.
She paired the look with black shorts, heels, and her trademark sunglasses, creating a monochrome ensemble fit for the fashion awards.
The baby will be Goulding’s second child and her first with boyfriend Beau Minniear, a source confirmed to People.
Goulding and Minniear, 28, only publicly confirmed their relationship in September during a low-key London outing, though fans suspected something was brewing months earlier.
Minniear shared a carousel of photos on Instagram back in July, slipping in a sultry snap of Goulding nude in bed — her face largely hidden, but unmistakably her.
Goulding subtly co-signed the moment with a single red-heart emoji.
Their relationship comes after a significant year of transition for the Love Me Like You Do singer.
She and her former husband, art dealer Caspar Jopling, announced their split in February 2024 after four-and-a-half years of marriage.
In matching statements at the time, both emphasised their ongoing friendship and their commitment to co-parenting their son, Arthur, now 4.
Goulding wrote that she had been left ‘with no choice’ but to address speculation about the separation, stressing that the two had parted ways privately and amicably.
Jopling echoed the sentiment, calling Arthur ‘the best kiddo in the world’ and asking for privacy.
Despite her global fame, Goulding keeps her son largely out of the public eye. Last November, she made a rare exception, sharing a photo of the pair dressed as Spider-Man and Miles Morales for Halloween, with Arthur’s face remaining hidden behind his mask.
