Singer Ellie Goulding has welcomed a "beautiful" baby girl with her boyfriend, the actor Beau Minniear.

The 39-year-old - known for the songs Burn, Love Me Like You Do, and River - announced late last year that she was pregnant with her second baby.

In an Instagram story, Goulding told her 13.6 million followers that she gave birth to the couple's daughter on 6 March.

Goulding said: "On Friday I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl."

She continued: "We are totally obsessed with her.

"It was fitting that I spent International Women's Day with her and the incredible female team at St Mary's, who provided me and my baby with extraordinary care and kindness.

"I will always be in awe of midwives.

"This addition to my family fills me with so much joy, especially as Arthur is so happy to become a big brother to this little angel."

Goulding married her ex-husband, the art dealer Caspar Jopling, in August 2019 and gave birth to their son Arthur in 2021.

After being married for nearly five years, Goulding announced the pair had split up and has since started a relationship with actor Minniear.

The Brit Award winner is also known for the songs Anything Could Happen, Miracle, and I Need Your Love.

She released her debut album, Lights, in 2010 and her most recent offering, Higher Than Heaven, in 2023.

Goulding released her latest single, Destiny, in November 2025.

She has yet to announce details of her upcoming album.
