Ellie Goulding and her boyfriend, Beau Minniear, shared a romantic kiss while playfully recreating a popular TikTok trend. This comes just last month after they welcomed their first child together.

The 39-year-old singer, who shares a four-year-old son named Arthur with her former husband, Caspar Jopling, and actor, 28, had a baby girl on March 6th.

Okay, so she finally posted on TikTok after, like, almost two months! I was starting to worry! But oh my gosh, the caption! It was perfect. She was apologizing for being so late to the trend, and she just wrote ‘SORRY IM LATE WE HAD A BABY‘?! Seriously, my heart melted. It’s just…so her! I’ve been checking her page constantly, and this little update was everything. I’m obsessed!

Ellie joined a trend started by celebrities like Bryan Cranston, the Pussycat Dolls, Laufey, Emma Chamberlain, and Meghan Trainor, lip-syncing to a remix of Tame Impala’s “Dracula” featuring Blackpink’s Jennie.

The pop star looked incredibly glamorous in a chic black blazer and shorts combination, accessorized with bold gold jewelry and perfect makeup.

She walked confidently towards the camera, lip-syncing the lyrics and holding the viewer’s gaze. She sang along to: ‘Now I’m Mr. Charisma, fin’ Pablo Escobar / My friends are saying, Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car / I just wanna be right where you are’.

The camera followed her as she walked over to Beau and kissed him deeply, then they both burst into laughter.

The couple announced the birth of their daughter, Iris, with a notice in The Times’ Births, Marriages and Deaths column.

The birth announcement read: ‘On March 6th, 2026, Ellie Goulding and Beau Minniear welcomed their daughter, Iris Edaline.’

Ellie announced the birth of her baby sister on Instagram, posting a picture of a cake with a welcoming message. She also shared that she delivered at the Lindo Wing in London, the same hospital where Princes William, Harry, and George were born.

She announced on Friday that she welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby girl, and they are completely in love with her.

It felt right to celebrate International Women’s Day with the amazing women at St Mary’s Hospital, who took such wonderful care of me and my baby with so much kindness.

I have so much respect for midwives. Our growing family is bringing me incredible happiness, and it’s wonderful to see Arthur so excited about having a little sibling.

Last July, rumors began circulating about a romantic connection between Ellie and Beau, who is over ten years younger than her. The speculation started after Beau posted a personal photo of Ellie on Instagram, showing her in a messy hotel room.

I remember when she first revealed she was dating him back in September 2025 – it was a big moment! Then, just a couple of months later in November, he actually starred as her love interest in the music video for her song ‘Destiny.’ It was a really sweet way to showcase their connection, and fans absolutely loved it!

The following month, the singer announced she was expecting a baby, proudly showing off her growing belly at the Fashion Awards.

SORRY IM LATE WE HAD A BABY

In January, Ellie shared details about her second pregnancy, mentioning she’s very lucky to have a supportive and wonderful boyfriend, which makes things easier for her.

I’m still dedicated to my work and writing, but I’m also pregnant and growing a baby. I don’t necessarily feel very traditionally ‘motherly’ about it, though.

Having a child and being healthy are wonderful, and I’m grateful for them, but they don’t define everything about who I am today.

Honestly, I’m just so relieved to see her getting back to herself after having her baby! It means she’s feeling good, and that’s amazing. And get this – her NEW album is coming out soon! I’ve been counting down the days, and knowing she’s doing well while finishing it just makes it even more exciting. I can’t wait!

This will be her first full-length album since 2023’s ‘Higher Than Heaven,’ and it comes after the success of last year’s hit single, ‘Destiny,’ which quickly rose to the top of the charts.

The album was originally planned for release later this year, but sources say the artist decided to release it earlier to time with the birth of her daughter. This means fans might be able to hear the new music before she takes a break to spend time with her baby.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m hearing that Ellie Goulding is strategically releasing her new album a bit earlier than planned. It’s a smart move – she wants her fans to enjoy it before she takes some well-deserved time off with her baby. From what I understand, this album is really special, showcasing a completely new and exciting side of her artistry – she’s poured her heart and soul into it!

Ellie has described her latest album as being inspired by her divorce. She wrote many of the songs while separating from her husband, Caspar, 34, in 2024.

She shared that when she married her ex-husband, she fully expected the marriage to last a lifetime, and that feeling remains with her. She explained that certain songs help her reflect on and honor that period of her life.

I used to perform some songs that were very negative and depressing, and while they felt right at the time, I don’t think they’re beneficial for me to continue with now.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always fascinated by how people process big life changes, and I recently chatted about the idea of a ‘divorce album’. I wanted to get some honest feedback, so I shared a collection of songs with my closest friends – people whose musical taste I really respect – and asked for their thoughts. I truly value their opinions and trust them to give me a real, unfiltered perspective.

Someone commented that the album felt like it was about a divorce. However, most listeners didn’t agree, saying it sounded more like a journey of personal growth and self-discovery, and didn’t necessarily convey a sense of separation.

Ellie and Caspar got divorced last January, but they’ve stayed friendly and continue to raise their son, Arthur, together.

Caspar is now dating actress Olivia Wilde, 41. They were seen together on a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway in Mexico City in February.
