Ellie Goulding has revealed how she managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps by so long – stealing her husband’s coat.

The singer, 34, is expecting her first child with husband Caspar Jopling, but waited until she was eight months pregnant to reveal the couple’s exciting news.

She confirmed her pregnancy in a stunning shoot with Vogue, revealing that she first found out she was expecting around her one-year wedding anniversary.

Since going public with her pregnancy, Ellie has made two TV appearances; performing on The Graham Norton show on Friday and later stopping by Sunday Brunch on Channel 4.

Chatting live on air to hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer, Ellie revealed how she is finding being pregnant so far and the clever hack she used to keep her baby bump underwraps.

‘I stole my husband’s coat for about six months’ Ellie joked.

‘But that was really just in the shops, I didn’t go anywhere else,’ she added. ‘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.’

Up until recently, Ellie hasn’t been seen since the early days of her pregnancy, with the star revealing that she had ‘no idea’ she was expecting when she appeared on The One Show in July.

Since then, she’s been enjoying her pregnancy in lockdown and explained in her interview with Vogue that the pandemic had made her more ‘secretive’ and ‘protective’ over her baby news.

Admitting that she hadn’t been planning on getting pregnant, Ellie told the publication: ‘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.’ She continued: ‘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.’

Ellie and Caspar tied the knot at York Minister in August 2019 – a year after the pair confirmed their engagement.

The duo have been together since 2017.
