The 34 year old “Love Me Like You Do” singer has announced that she is 30 weeks pregnant with her first child.

The music sensation found out that she was pregnant on her one-year wedding anniversary. Ellie and her husband, twenty-nine year old Caspar Jopling, were both surprised to find out about the pregnancy.

“That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality.” Ellie told Vogue magazine. She continued, “Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. 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.”

The singer had been working on creating a healthy eating book titled ‘Fitter. Calmer. Stronger’ when she found out about her pregnancy, she said she was “in denial” for a long time.

She has been struggling with the physical toll that pregnancy has on your body, saying “The sickness and tiredness were like nothing I’d experienced before.” She added that she wasn’t always “serene or glowing.”

As for finding out the gender of the baby, it seems Ellie had no preference, saying in her interview with Vogue magazine, “We found out by default. But it wasn’t a thing. We just wanted a healthy baby and there wasn’t much more to it. Instinctively, the whole gender reveal is not my thing.”

Ellie also shared with The Fashion Bible that she can’t wait to get back to work once she has had her baby and is looking forward to a new album and tour, having spent much of her time in the recording studio during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The news of the songstress’ pregnancy comes just eighteen months after her wedding in York, England in 2019. There were some very familiar faces that were in attendance to the wedding, such as pop sensation Katy Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom. A handful of royals were also in attendance at the special event. Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice and Sarah the Duchess of York were all spotted.
