The 39-year-old chart-topping artist delivered her newborn at St Mary's Hospital in London, sharing the happy announcement with fans on Instagram this afternoon.
This marks the first child for the couple, who began dating last summer after meeting on the set of Goulding's Destiny music video.
The American actor, 28, previously appeared alongside Jason Statham in The Beekeeper.

|Ms Goulding, known for hits including Love Me Like You Do and Burn, already has a four-year-old son named Arthur from her marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling, which ended in 2024.
In her social media post, the Brit Award winner expressed her delight at the new arrival, writing: "On Friday, I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. We are totally obsessed with her."
The singer paid particular tribute to the medical staff who supported her through the delivery, noting that she spent International Women's Day with her daughter and the all-female team who looked after them.
"It was fitting that I spent International Women's Day with her and the incredible female team at St Mary's, who provided me and my baby with extraordinary care and kindness," she wrote. "I will always be in awe of midwives."

The couple first went public with their relationship in September 2025, though speculation about their romance had circulated for months beforehand.
Ms Goulding's divorce from Mr Jopling, the grandson of Conservative peer Baron Jopling, was finalised in January 2025, with the former couple maintaining an amicable relationship as they co-parent Arthur.
The singer first confirmed her pregnancy at the British Fashion Awards in early December, stepping onto the red carpet with her bump clearly visible.
Speaking to Nylon magazine in January, the two-time Grammy nominee explained her determination to keep working throughout her pregnancy, saying: "I didn't want to become just a pregnant woman first."

"I'm still working every day and still writing every day. It's just that I am growing a human inside me."
The singer will return to performing in May, having been announced as a headline act at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Sunderland on May 23.
