Pregnant Ellie Goulding covers her eight-month-old baby bump in a loose hoodie as she goes for a run

She stunned fans when she announced that she was eight months pregnant with her first child with husband Caspar Jopling earlier this week.

But the pregnancy didn’t stop Ellie Goulding from following her fitness routine as she was spotted running around her neighborhood on Saturday.

The 34-year-old hitmaker On My Mind covered her budding bump in a low-key baggy black hoodie as she continued to stay in shape through her third trimester.

Ellie, who typically shows off an impressive set of toned abs, teamed the loose top with black leggings and black sneakers.

While keeping her look understated by adding a black sports cap and covering her face with a colorful mask.

The mom-to-be made sure she stayed hydrated while jogging, as she was also holding a water bottle.

Ellie’s casual sportswear is a far cry from the flowing cornflower blue dress she wore on Friday on BBC1’s Graham Norton Show or the sleek white ensemble she chose a few days earlier when her pregnancy was revealed in Vogue.

Speaking to the publication, she said that While she insists on continuing to exercise, her usual diet of salads, nuts and seeds was thrown out the window when she developed cravings.

“I suddenly wanted all the wrong things! I just wanted sugar and carbs.

However, the pop star is not unhappy with her changing body.

“Getting pregnant made me feel human,” she says. ‘I want a better word than wife, [but] I have curves that I have never had before. I take advantage of it. My husband likes it.

This will be the first baby for Ellie, who married art dealer Caspar Jopling, 29, in 2019.

The singer recently opened up about how she was able to keep the news of her baby a secret for so long during a Sunday Brunch interview this weekend.

Ellie admitted she covered her growing bump with her husband’s coat as she chatted with hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy.

When asked how her pregnancy had been and how she kept it a secret, she replied: “ It’s different … I stole my husband’s coat for about six months,

“But it was really just in the stores, I haven’t been anywhere else. While out for a walk, I just hid it. It wasn’t really that hard, however, due to the lockdown, I didn’t really see anyone.

Meanwhile, the blonde beauty said she got pregnant while on a trip to celebrate their one-year anniversary in Italy last August.

Ellie’s last major appearance was at the V&A Museum that month and she spent the duration of the lockdown at home in Gloucestershire.

She said in Vogue: ‘We did the only show. I was pregnant and had no idea. It was [around] the moment Caspar and I left briefly when we were allowed to do so for our one-year anniversary, and that’s basically when we found out.

“It was crazy because it was our first anniversary. It was not the plan. The idea of ​​getting pregnant didn’t seem like a reality.

“Getting pregnant made me feel human. I want a better word than feminine, [but]- I have curves that I have never had before. I take advantage of it. My husband likes it.

Ellie and Jasper met in 2016 after sitting next to each other at a dinner hosted by their mutual friend, Princess Eugenie.

The couple tied the knot in a star-studded York Minster wedding in August 2019, attended by everyone from the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson to actress Sienna Miller, singers Katy Perry and James Blunt .
