‘It’s not the be all and end all’: Ellie Goulding admits she’s not ready to have children yet with husband Caspar Jopling
Ellie Goulding has admitted she’s not ready to have children yet with husband Caspar Jopling.
In a new interview, the singer, 33, declared growing a family is ‘not the be all and end all’ as she focuses on picking her career back up once the coronavirus pandemic improves.
The Starry Eyed hitmaker, who tied the knot to the art dealer, 28, at York Minster in August last year, said: ‘I want to have kids but it’s not the be all and end all. I am so happy right now and I want to have kids later but it’s not encouraged to wait.’

The media personality also revealed she’d be open to starting a podcast about work-driven women who want to become mothers in later stages of their lives.
Ellie told The Sun: ‘There are a lot of blogs, podcasts and things about being a mum or about a mum’s life, which I totally appreciate because it must be good to know you are in the same position as other mums. I want to know about women who are in the same spot as me.
‘I’ve got a career and, when coronavirus is over, I will embark on touring. It would be good to have like-minded women who are in the same position and want kids later in life or not at all. I’d love to hear a podcast on that — maybe I’ll start my own.’

In October 2019, Ellie said she’s sick of people asking her when she’s going to be a mother in a brutally honest Ask Me Anything section on Instagram Stories.
Her words came after a fan asked: ‘Do you think of having baby(ies) any time soon? (the world need two of you). [sic].
She wrote back: Not particularly [grimace emoji]. As you can imagine it’s been a non stop question.
‘I hate being made to feel like that’s what I’m supposed to be doing on this earth. I guess technically I am. But I see things differently in today’s world.’

Last month, the blonde beauty confessed she’d ‘kissed quite a few frogs’ before meeting her husband in 2016 during a discussion on chart star Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast.
The award-winning belter reflected on her comments as she said she’s smooched ‘a lot of very handsome men’ and insisted she’s ‘still friends with my exes’.
Ellie had a series of high-profile romances before meeting Caspar, dating Niall Horan, Radio 1 DJ Greg James, actor Jeremy Irvine, DJ Skrillex and McFly bassist Dougie Poynter.
There were also rumoured relationships with Ed Sheeran and even Prince Harry.
