The 2025 Fashion Awards may have been all about couture, but Ellie Goulding stole the show with an accessory no one expected—a baby bump.
The 38-year-old British singer turned heads on the red carpet last week, baring her growing belly in a black crop top and low-rise trousers. Fans quickly flooded social media with congratulations and disbelief.
“Ellie looks glowing! So happy for her,” one follower gushed. Another wrote, “Absolutely stunning mama,” while others called her “radiant” and “unreal.”
The pregnancy marks Ellie’s first child with her new boyfriend, Beau Minniear, a 28-year-old American actor she began dating this past summer. The pair reportedly hit it off during a whirlwind romance that started in July and quickly became serious.
Fans first caught wind of the relationship when Ellie posted a now-deleted TikTok video playfully showing her hand on a mystery man’s arm, teasing, “Just a little something to take the edge off.” Soon after, both she and Beau shared photos from the same luxury hotel in Florence before being spotted together at a boxing match and on cozy walks through London.
Their chemistry went public in November when Beau starred as Ellie’s love interest in the steamy music video for her single “Destiny.”
“Recording this was like catharsis,” Ellie shared. “It made me feel free—like the prize was me all along. ‘Destiny’ is about surrender, acceptance, and realizing that what’s meant for you will find you.”
Ellie shares a four-year-old son, Arthur, with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling, 33. The couple, who tied the knot in a grand 2019 ceremony at York Minster, finalized their split in 2024 after months of living separate lives. “Their worlds were just too different,” an insider revealed at the time.
Her new romance with Beau marks a dramatic turn from her previous high-society marriage. “Ellie’s happier and more carefree than she’s been in years,” a source tells Heat. “Beau’s youthful energy and optimism have really rubbed off on her. She feels like she’s starting over—and this baby feels like a second chance.”
Ellie wasn’t the only star turning heads at the Fashion Awards. Fellow actress Sienna Miller, 43, also revealed her second pregnancy with her 28-year-old partner Oli Green, leading fans to joke that “baby bumps were this year’s hottest accessory.”
With a new man, a new baby on the way, and a fresh creative spark, Ellie Goulding is clearly entering her “glow-up era.” “She’s embracing her destiny,” says the insider. “She’s got a new love, new music, and a whole new outlook.”
