Ellie Goulding PIC EXC: Pregnant singer steps out ahead of their first child’s imminent arrival 

Ellie Goulding and her husband Caspar Jopling stepped out for one of their last strolls as a family of two in west London on Tuesday as they prepare to welcome their first child in just a couple of days.

The musician, 34, displayed her baby bump in a black T-shirt and a cream cardigan as she and the art dealer, 29, purchased warm beverages from Starbucks in west London on Tuesday.

Singer Ellie shocked her fans in February when she confirmed the couple will welcome their baby in just a few weeks.

Opting for a casual appearance, the Anything Could Happen hitmaker tied in her cosy outerwear with grey jogging bottoms and white canvas trainers.

The Hereford native, who recently said she’s ’embracing’ her new figure, went make-up free and wore her blonde tresses loose. 

Businessman Caspar, meanwhile, sported a blue shirt, grey jeans and sports shoes as he held onto his cup and a snack from the coffeehouse. 

The award-winning artist recently revealed she’s embracing her new figure ahead of her child’s forthcoming arrival.

In a new interview, the songwriter said: ‘A revelation: I’ve always had a runner’s body and now I have a bigger ass and these rather nice boobs!’

The fitness enthusiast also detailed her pregnancy cravings, admitting she has a penchant for tinned sardines and Weetabix Minis, and has even visited McDonald’s twice in the last eight months.

On her eating habits, the songwriter added to The Telegraph’s Stella Magazine: ‘[tinned sardines and Weetabix Minis] aren’t eaten at the same time… it was only two [times she went to McDonalds!’ 

The Starry Eyed hitmaker also touched on discovering she was pregnant at eight weeks during a romantic trip to Italy for her first wedding anniversary.

Priorities: The Burn singer does know the baby's gender 'by default' when she had the scan, but wasn't interested in having any sort of gender reveal as she just wanted a healthy baby

Ellie said: ‘I thought I had an iron deficiency and got blood tests, which came back fine but my progesterone levels were high… I then started struggling a bit with exercise. That was a sign for me something had changed.’ 

The award-winning artist echoed her comments when she announced her baby news with Vogue, sharing: ‘I want a better word than womanly, [but]—I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.

‘I actually went from being smug about how healthy my salads were and my breakfasts and eating nuts and seeds, and then all I wanted was McDonalds. 

‘And I was kind of terrified, I suddenly wanted all of the bad things! Whatever this baby did when it took over my body was like ”Hell no—I do not want broccoli, spinach, collards! I just wanted sugar and carbs.”’
