ELLIE Goulding has announced she’s named her baby Arthur Ever Winter Jopling.
The Anything Could Happen singer made the announcement in The Times’ Births, Deaths and Marriages section today.
The announcement in today’s paper simply reads: “JOPLING on 29th April 2021 to Elena Goulding and Caspar, a son, Arthur Ever Winter.”
Arthur is a traditional boy’s name of Celtic origin that means ‘bear’ and was once the shining head of the Knights of the Round Table.
The middle name Ever has a timeless quality and Winter evokes the coldest season of the year.
The popstar has been unusually quiet about her pregnancy and only confirmed she was pregnant back in February when she was already seven months along.
The singer’s husband, art dealer Caspar, announced the arrival of the tot on his social media over the weekend.
Next to a bunch of flowers he wrote: “Mum and baby both healthy and happy. Extremely grateful.”
Ellie kept her pregnancy under wraps until she was eight months gone.
In an interview she revealed lockdown at their home in Gloucestershire had allowed them to keep it quiet.
Ellie, who married Caspar at York Minster in August 2019, said last month: “I stole my husband’s coat for about six months.
“But that was really just in the shops, I didn’t go anywhere else. Out on walks, I just kept it covered up. It wasn’t really that hard, though, because of lockdown, I haven’t really seen anyone.”
Ellie posed for a photoshoot with Vogue Magazine to mark her pregnancy and revealed she was enjoying being pregnant.
The singer, who has had three UK No1 singles and albums, told the fashion bible she had found out she was expecting on their one-year wedding anniversary.
She said: “I was pregnant and had no idea. That was [around] the time when Caspar and I went away briefly when we were allowed to for our one-year anniversary, and that’s basically when we found out.
“It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality.
“Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly – I have curves I’ve never had before.
“I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”
