Ellie Goulding offered a rare glimpse of her baby daughter Iris on Instagram on Tuesday as she shared a candid snap of her breastfeeding.
The singer, 39, welcomed her baby girl with boyfriend Beau Minniear, 28, on March 6 and is also mother to four-year-old son Arthur with ex-husband Caspar Jopling.
Ellie looked to be soaking up every moment with her newborn as she sat on a bed breastfeeding her little girl.
Styling her blonde tresses loose, the Burn hitmaker donned a pair of black sunglasses as she cradled Iris, who was dressed in an adorable white babygrow.
It comes after Ellie shared a passionate kiss with boyfriend Beau as the couple recreated a viral TikTok trend after giving birth to their first child together.
After almost two months in the newborn trenches, she took the opportunity to hop on to the latest TikTok trend, apologising for her tardiness in the caption by quipping: ‘SORRY IM LATE WE HAD A BABY’.

The video saw Ellie following in the footsteps of fellow stars such as Bryan Cranston, the Pussycat Dolls, Laufey, Emma Chamberlain and Meghan Trainor by miming along to Tame Impala’s Dracula remix with Blackpink’s Jennie.
Looking effortlessly glamorous, the pop star sported a black blazer and matching bermuda-style shorts with statement gold jewellery and a full face of flawless makeup.
She confidently strutted towards the camera, maintaining eye contact while mouthing along to the lyrics: ‘Now I’m Mr Charisma, f***in’ Pablo Escobar / My friends are saying, Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car / I just wanna be right where you are’.
The camera then panned to show her walking right up to a waiting Beau and pulling him into a passionate kiss, before breaking into giggles.
The couple shared the news they’d welcomed a daughter named Iris by placing an announcement in the Births, Marriages and Deaths section of The Times.
It read: ‘Minniear-Goulding: On 6th March 2026 to Ellie Goulding and Beau Minniear, a daughter, Iris Edaline.’
While Ellie also took to her Instagram to share a photo of a cake decorated with the words ‘welcome baby sister’, as she revealed she’d given birth at the Lindo Wing in London – where Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince George were all born.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘On Friday, I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. 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.’

Ellie was first romantically linked to Beau – who is more than a decade her junior – in July last year, after he shared an intimate photograph of her lying in an unmade hotel-room on Instagram.
She went public with their relationship in September 2025 and he then appeared as her love interest in the music video for her song Destiny in November.
The following month, the hitmaker revealed her pregnancy as she walked the red carpet at the Fashion Awards with her blossoming baby bump on full display.
Opening up about her second experience of pregnancy, Ellie said in January: ‘I have an amazing boyfriend. I do have it a little easier in that I do have amazing support.
‘I’m still working every day and still writing every day. It’s just that I am growing a human inside me. I’m perhaps not the most, like, Mother Earth about it, if you know what I mean?
‘It’s a beautiful thing to be able to grow a child, and I feel very lucky that I’m healthy – but it’s not all I am right now.’
Her return to normality after her daughter’s birth, comes ahead of the imminent release of her eagerly-anticipated sixth studio album.
It will be her first LP since 2023’s Higher Than Heaven and the follow-up to last year’s single Destiny, which stormed the charts.
The record was initially pegged for release later in the year, however insiders revealed she had moved the release forward to coincide with the arrival of her daughter, meaning the album could be out before she took time off with her baby.
Insiders told The Sun: ‘By moving the release date forward, Ellie can get the record out to her fans before having a break with the baby. She has worked so hard on this record and it shows such a different side to her creatively.’
Ellie has spoken about the fact that her new record is ‘a divorce album’, having penned a number of the tracks at the time of her split from ex-husband Caspar, 34, in 2024.
Ellie already shares four-year-old son Arthur with ex-husband Caspar Jopling, who she split from in 2024 (pictured together in 2021)
She said last year: ‘When I married my ex-husband, I thought it was for life. That will never go away and that will always stay with me. There are some songs that are necessary for me to acknowledge that time in my life and to be respectful of it…
‘Then there were some songs that were extremely reactionary and sad that I felt were good to do in the moment but don’t serve me long-term.’
Elaborating on the idea of a ‘divorce album’, she said: ‘I asked my friends about this. I sent them a folder of the songs and was like, “What do you guys think?” I trust my friends, and they’re real music lovers…
‘One person said, “Wow, this is the divorce album.” And then most of the others were like, “This just sounds like you’re a new woman. It sounds like growing and rediscovery. It doesn’t feel like divorce.”’
Ellie and Caspar finalised their divorce in January last year and the two remain on good terms as they co-parent Arthur.
Caspar has moved on with actress Olivia Wilde, 41, with the two spotted enjoying a romantic Valentine’s Day weekend in Mexico City in February.
