Cherry Seaborn is the love of Ed Sheeran‘s life and the mother of his two kids. The GRAMMY-winning singer announced in May 2022 that he and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, had grown their family by one. “Want to let you all know we’ve had another beautiful baby girl,” Ed wrote alongside a sweet photo of two baby socks on a brown blanket. “We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x,” he also said.
While Ed is very private about his and Cheery’s life — to the point that many might not know that they tied the knot in 2019 — the couple made no mention that Cherry was even pregnant. However, fans got a chance to see the trials and tribulations that came with this pregnancy in his Disney+ documentary, Ed Sheeran: The Sum Of It All.
In March 2023, Ed revealed that Cherry was diagnosed with a tumor while carrying their unborn daughter. Ed’s wife couldn’t receive treatment for it until she gave birth, leading to a lot of fear and worry.
The couple are also parents to daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, who was born in August 2020. Little Lyra was announced via Instagram, too. “Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry [Seaborn] gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter – Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran,” Ed shared in a Sept. 2020 IG post. “We are completely in love with her…Both mum and baby are doing amazing, and we are on cloud nine over here. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Lots of love, and I’ll see you when it’s time to come back.” Learn more about Cherry here!
Ed and Cherry would be the textbook definition of “childhood sweethearts.” The British duo met at Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk, where they were students and became friends.
Though she hails from England, Cherry got her education deep within the Tar Heel state. She enrolled at Duke in Durham, North Carolina. “Ever since I was in high school, I’ve always wanted to study in the United States,” Seaborn told Duke, per the News & Observer. “I looked into different schools that were good academically and also at hockey, and Duke was one that really jumped out at me. I made my decision purely based on recommendations. Duke has such a good name in England, and there were a lot of people who told me to go there. There were also some English girls (at Duke), so I talked to them too.”
