Ellie Goulding captured attention in a sheer lace dress as she departed the New Century Hall in Manchester on Monday. The 39-year-old singer was presented with a small bunch of red roses by a young fan awaiting her exit from the venue.
Goulding, who recently welcomed her second child, a daughter named Iris Edaline on March 6, appeared delighted by the fan's gesture. She is also mother to five-year-old Arthur from her previous marriage to Caspar Jopling.
The singer has just released her sixth studio album, "I Know Too Much," this September, marking her return to music. The album features ten tracks, including "Black Prada Dress," which she performed live earlier in 2026. Goulding has described the album as a "divorce album," acknowledging her past marriage and its impact on her life and music.
Goulding was first romantically linked to actor Beau Minniear, 29, in July of the previous year, and they made their relationship public in September 2025. Her ex-husband, Caspar Jopling, finalized his divorce from Goulding in January 2025 and has since been seen with actress Olivia Wilde.
Goulding's musical return follows a period of personal reflection and new beginnings, with "I Know Too Much" delving into themes of love and heartbreak.
