Ellie Goulding shared photos on Friday of herself in a string bikini while sunbathing on a luxury yacht, approximately five months after giving birth to her daughter.
Goulding, 39, was photographed in a black two-piece outfit as she relaxed on a yacht. The images showed her with her eyes closed, appearing to sunbathe and expose a tattoo on her ribcage.
The singer welcomed a daughter named Iris Edaline with her partner, actor Beau Minniear, 28, on March 6. The birth took place at the Lindo Wing in London. Goulding announced her daughter's name via a formal birth announcement in The Times.
Goulding is also the mother to Arthur, five, from her previous marriage to Caspar Jopling. The couple finalized their divorce in January 2025, and they reportedly maintain a cooperative co-parenting relationship. Jopling has since been publicly linked with actress Olivia Wilde.
Goulding was first linked romantically to Minniear in July of the previous year and publicly confirmed their relationship in September 2025.
The singer is set to release her sixth studio album, "I Know Too Much," in September. The album, which features 10 tracks, includes the song "Black Prada Dress," which she performed live last month at Radio 1's Big Weekend 2026. Goulding has described the upcoming album as a 'divorce album,' indicating it will address her split from Jopling. She has stated that the album explores themes of love and heartbreak, with some songs reflecting on past experiences while others are more reactionary.
