The 39-year-old singer, well-known for hits such as “Love Me Like You Do,” shared the news on her Instagram Stories, revealing that both she and Minniear are “obsessed” with their newborn. In her post, Goulding paid tribute to the all-female care team at St Mary’s, emphasising the extraordinary kindness and support they provided during the delivery.
“On Friday, I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. We are totally obsessed with her,” she wrote. The singer also mentioned her 4-year-old son, Arthur, whom she shares with ex-husband Caspar Jopling, stating that he is incredibly excited about his new role as a big brother. Goulding’s reflections on the experience highlight her awed admiration for midwives and the support they provide to new mothers.
In addition to the birth announcement, Goulding has shared glimpses of her new family life, including photos of decorations welcoming the baby home and a celebratory cake that read “baby sister.” The proud mother seems to be enjoying every moment of this new chapter in her life, indicating that this addition fills her with immense joy.
Goulding first announced her pregnancy while attending the 2025 Fashion Awards on December 1st in London. The singer caught attention on the red carpet with her stylish ensemble, which included a leather jacket and a black crop top that revealed her growing baby bump. The couple has been publicly linked since September, although they have reportedly been together since at least July.
Minniear, who has also shared glimpses of their relationship on social media, posted a candid shot of Goulding in July, which sparked public interest in their romance. His affectionate post featured a sight of Goulding looking serene while lying in bed, which she acknowledged with a supportive comment and a heart emoji.
In a previous interview with NYLON, Goulding reflected on balancing her musical career with family life. She conveyed her desire to not let pregnancy overshadow her identity as an artist. “I didn’t want to become just a pregnant woman first,” she shared, acknowledging the privilege she has in having robust support throughout her journey. “I’m still working every day, and still writing every day,” she stated, highlighting her commitment to her career while preparing to welcome her second child.
In a rare glimpse into family life, Goulding shared a sweet moment on social media in November 2024, featuring herself and Arthur dressed as Marvel characters. The photo captures a tender moment between mother and son, demonstrating the singer’s dedication to keeping family traditions close, albeit with care over privacy concerning her child’s image.
As Goulding navigates this exciting new phase in her life, her fans continue to rally around her, offering congratulations and support. The arrival of her daughter adds to a blossoming family, and with Arthur eager to step into the role of big brother, it is clear that Goulding’s life is filled with love and joy as she embraces motherhood once again.
