Ellie Goulding reconciles with mother Tracey as she awaits her first child with Caspar Jopling
Ellie Goulding’s mum has said the pair have reconciled after the singer previously said their relationship was ‘unfixable’.
The Burn singer, 34, who is currently pregnant with her first child with husband Caspar Jopling, is said to have mended fences with her mother before her baby arrives.
Her mum, Tracey, 56, told the Daily Mail: ‘All I want to say is that I am obviously very, very happy and excited. It’ll be my third grandchild. Everything’s great, it’s fine.
‘There was nothing really to resolve. I have seen her since the wedding but not much since the lockdowns.
‘But she’s been very good, we’ve all been very good. I can’t wait to see my new grandchild.’
Ellie had revealed last year that she hadn’t seen her mother since her wedding to Caspar, 29, in August 2019.
She told The Independent at the time: ‘It’s frustrating because I really want to talk to you about it. But she became quite threatening when I did talk about her in the press. Discussing her was a disaster.
‘I haven’t seen my mother since my wedding last year. I’ve done a lot of therapy about it because what I thought was fixable isn’t fixable.’
Tracey had denied the claims she was ‘threatening’ to her daughter, telling the Daily Mail last year: ‘I really, really don’t know what she is referring to and where the word threatening has come from.
‘I don’t know what she is talking about. I don’t think Ellie has ever spoken about me in the press so I don’t know what I could become threatening about.
‘I put a brave face on and I am smiling now but quite frankly I am deeply hurt.’
Ellie revealed her pregnancy this week in an interview with Vogue, explaining that she hadn’t been planning to get pregnant but found out she was expecting on her one-year anniversary.
