Ellie Goulding celebrated her upcoming arrival with a baby shower hosted by her famous friends in London on Saturday. She and her boyfriend, Beau Minniear, are expecting their first child.
The 39-year-old singer, who has a four-year-old son named Arthur with her former husband, Caspar Jopling, attended a 1970s-themed party. The event was inspired by the retro comedy series Palm Royale on Apple TV.
Ellie looked beautiful in a tight-fitting pink Versace mini dress. She playfully acknowledged her pregnancy with a sash that read ‘Preggs,’ a humorous reference to the bakery chain Greggs.
The boyband Blue performed, but without Lee Ryan. Ellie joined Duncan James, Simon Webb, and Anthony Costa on stage to sing their popular song, Rise.
Supermodel Brooks Nader, 28, shared photos of the party on her Instagram Stories, including a selfie showing off her 70s-inspired look: a flowing orange maxi dress and styled blonde hair.
I was absolutely living for her latest posts! She shared a picture with the caption, ‘Seriously, if a party has a theme, Palm Royale needs to be it!’ Then, she posted a video of Ellie’s amazing, spontaneous performance and said, ‘Honestly, if baby showers aren’t this much fun, don’t even think about inviting me!’ It was just perfect.
The party was amazing! They had this gorgeous cake decorated with a ‘Palm Royale’ theme and it said ‘Prettiest girl in South Beach’ – so fun! And everyone was enjoying Ellie’s cocktails, which were perfect for the vibe.
Palm Royale is a funny and heartwarming show about Maxine Dellacorte (Kristen Wiig), who’s determined to become part of the high-society scene in Palm Beach.
The cast also includes Alison Janney, Laura Dern, Ricky Martin, Kaia Gerber and Carol Burnett.
Ellie announced she was expecting a baby when she appeared at the Fashion Awards in early December, visibly pregnant.
Ellie and Beau began dating publicly in September 2025, and have since vacationed together in Italy. While there, Beau posted a personal photo online of Ellie relaxing in their hotel room.
He also appears in several raunchy scenes in Ellie’s latest music video, Destiny.
This news follows reports that Ellie has parted ways with her management team as she prepares to release her sixth studio album and make a return to music.
Ellie Goulding is expected to release a new album soon, following her 2023 release, ‘Higher Than Heaven.’ Reports suggest she ended her relationship with her management company, TaP, late last year as part of a significant change in her team.
The popular singer signed with the company in 2018, becoming part of a group of well-known artists that already included Dua Lipa and Lana Del Rey.
According to a source, she’s starting the new year with a clear focus on family, as she’s expecting her second child in just a few weeks.
Ellie is a highly successful and distinctive artist, quickly becoming one of the UK’s most significant musical voices.
According to a source speaking with Daily Mail, TaP and Ellie ended their professional relationship on December 9th. They expressed pride in their eight years of collaboration but agreed it was time to move forward separately.
Daily Mail have contacted Ellie Goulding’s representatives and TaP management for comment.
Okay, so Ellie just told NYLON about the new album, and honestly, it’s everything! She always knew she wanted to make it, but she didn’t realize it would end up being, like, a whole album about her divorce. It just…evolved that way, you know? It’s so raw and real, and I’m already obsessed even though I haven’t heard a single song yet!
In 2019, the singer married Caspar, whose grandfather, Michael Jopling (Baron Jopling), was a Conservative MP and a Harvard graduate, at the historic York Minster cathedral.
She explained that even though her marriage ended, she’ll always remember believing it would last forever. She feels it’s important to acknowledge and respect that period of her life, and certain songs help her do that.
I used to sing a lot of really negative and depressing songs that felt right at the time, but I realized they weren’t helpful for me in the long run.
