Ellie Goulding shares rare photo of her son Arthur as she prepares for musical comeback

Ellie Goulding has given fans a tiny glimpse of her 15-month-old son Arthur.

The Anything Could Happen singer welcomed her first child with art dealer husband Caspar Jopling last April.

Since then the 35-year-old has rarely posted any photos of her little one, whose full name is Arthur Ever Winter Jopling.

Although she is careful never to show his face, Ellie treated fans to a rare pic with her baby boy on Tuesday.

A snap on her Instagram stories showed her walking down the street carrying him in a hip seat waist belt.

Ellie looked stylish in white wide leg jeans and a mustard oversized shirt as she balanced the youngster on her hip.

She used a purple heart face emoji to protect Arthur’s identity, but his blonde hair could just be seen poking up, suggesting he takes after his mum.

The tot was wearing a white T-shirt, blue trousers and grey socks in the snap shared with her 14.1 million Instagram followers.

It is only the third time since he was born that Ellie has shared any snaps of baby Arthur.

Shortly after he was born she posted a black and white video montage of her pregnancy journey.

In the clips viewers are treated to footage of her ever growing baby bump, while her husband Caspar also makes a number of rare appearances.

Ellie is seen gazing lovingly at her new baby as he lies peacefully on her chest in bed.

Ellie captioned the video: "Dropped a BIG unexpected side project this year. Think it might be the greatest yet- shoutout to Mother Nature for the collab of all collabs."

Fans didn’t have any clue Ellie was pregnant until she was seven months, as she decided to keep it private.

She admitted it “wasn’t that hard” to keep the pregnancy a secret, because it was lockdown at the time and nobody was going out.

“I stole my husband’s coat for about six months, but that was really just in the shops. I didn’t go anywhere else.”

Appearing on Lorraine, she explained: “For every new mum it’s daunting and I realised I had an opportunity to just be my myself and get to know all these new feelings and hormones and all that stuff.

“And I just did it by myself, took it day by day. It was a chance for me to understand what was going on with my body, my mind. It was a nice, private time.”

While Ellie said her husband loved the fact it gave her curves she’s “never had before”, she admits her pregnancy wasn’t planned.

Although they might have started a family sooner than she expected, things have worked out well.

After taking a year out the spotlight to raise Arthur, Ellie is back with a new single, Easy Lover featuring Big Sean.

She told Rolling Stone her next album has a more dance feel as she feels it brings more escapism after the past two years of lockdown.

“I don’t want to be up there singing ballads at the moment. I want to be out there moving, feeling good, feeling the endorphins of dancing,” she added.
