Ellie Goulding makes pregnancy announcement!
Ellie Goulding is happy to announce that she will be expecting her first baby with husband Caspar Jopling. Recently, she's been seen showing off her baby bump.
The beautiful 34-year-old popstar is 30 weeks pregnant, and although she has had to go through the experience whilst in lockdown, she seems to have enjoyed watching her bump continue to grow.

Speaking to Vogue UK, she revealed:
Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly, [but] - I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.
It hasn't been a normal pregnancy for here with the lockdown, but she and Caspar have spent at a lot of time together at their home in Gloucestershire, England.
You have your partner, and you have your friends, but in a pandemic, it can feel particularly lonely.
Because it wasn’t something I had planned for right now, [and] I knew it was a more solitary journey because of what’s going on. I think that made me keep it very secretive and made me very protective over it. The sickness and tiredness was nothing I’d ever experienced before. I feel like it’s a taboo to talk about pregnancy as being challenging. It’s not always serene and like you’re not always glowing. I’m not saying that every second of this pregnancy has been miserable. It’s not always going to be easy. I have a newfound respect for any woman who has children.
It is not surprising that Ellie has been able to keep the pregnancy a secret because she and her art dealer spouse have been following the lockdown rules and have not been able to really see anyone.
When she spoke about her last public outing, she said:
We did the one show. I was pregnant and had no idea. That was [around] the time when Caspar and I went away briefly when we were allowed to for our one-year anniversary, and that’s basically when we found out. It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality.
Ellie continued to share how they found out about the baby:
We found out by default because we had a scan. [But,] it wasn’t a thing. We just wanted a healthy baby and there wasn’t much more to it. Instinctively, the whole gender reveal is not my thing.
Congratulations mama!
