this pop superstar and his childhood
friend turned wife of a long and epic
love story
but no couple is just pure perfection
and no lasting relationship was without
its share of quirks let's take a closer
look inside ed sheeran's marriage
ed sheeran and his now-wife cherry
seabourn met in their hometown of
suffolk england when the singer was just
11 years old they were both students at
thomas mills high school as teens and
sheeran has since admitted to crushing
on seabourn even back then
but he never got the chance to act on
those feelings when they were classmates
the future spouses went their separate
ways when seabourn moved to the united
states to attend duke university in
north carolina meanwhile sheeran of
course focused on growing his music
career a source told british magazine
heat in 2015
there was always something there between
them ed had a crush on cherry at school
but she had a boyfriend then i don't
think ed wants to date another celebrity
again having been burned too many times
and cherry is definitely his type
sheeran's 2017 song at castle on the
hill is about his teen years
and the music video features a young
cast clearly meant to mirror the group
of friends sheeran grew up with the
red-headed lead has acute blonde love
interest who could be interpreted to
represent a younger version of seabourn
ed sheeran is known to be refreshingly
down to earth so it was no surprise when
he famously took a year off in 2016
as a chance to reboot and get his
priorities in order after the break he
explained to people
life's all about balance and i wasn't
getting the balance right i bought a
bicycle and started cycling to my
girlfriend's house we cycled together
every day and had pub lunches i'd be the
lone boyfriend on the side of the pitch
watching a hockey games not bringing
security with me everywhere
stuff like that sheeran later revealed
that taking a break from a showbiz life
helped him nurture his new romance
shiren told zayn low on beats one radio
this has been the first time i've ever
actually had the time to fall in love
properly
but we were just basically like let's
both quit our jobs and have a year of
forming a tight bond
so we went travelling and spend every
day for a year together
ed sheeran and cherry seaborne are pet
parents to two of the cutest cats on the
internet
dorito and calipo these adorable kittens
are clearly an important part of sheeran
and seabourn's lives and like many
loving pet owners the power couple even
started a dedicated instagram account to
document their fur babies lives sharon
told people
me and cherry literally had them from
birth and they think that we're their
mother from our warmth and our smells
i've seen this behavior before in cats
dorito and calipo have been a huge part
of sheeran and seaborne's relationship
back in january 2018
when shiron announced his engagement to
seabourn on his instagram account he
also revealed that the feline members of
the household were also excited about
the news
he wrote got myself a fiancee just
before new year we are very happy and in
love and our cats are chuffed as well
one of ed sheeran and cherry seaborne's
first real dates came when he brought
her as his guest to his longtime friend
taylor swift's annual 4th of july party
in 2015. the date became their official
dating anniversary and
swift even celebrated their one-year
anniversary at a party the following
year
the lover singer also revealed one of
the first pictures of shiron and
seabourn kissing in an instagram post
from the party
sharon told people of the special day in
his relationship well
our anniversary is her fourth of july
party i went to taylor's fourth of july
party
i was texting seabourn and she was like
i'm in rhode island at a fourth of july
party and i was like so am i
i kind of said to taylor can i invite
one of my old schoolmates
the rest is history although ed sheeran
and cherry seabourn didn't actually tie
the knot until january 2019
rumors flew long before then that they
had secretly married in february 2018 ed
was spotted wearing a silver ring on his
ring finger
at the brit awards which led to a lot of
speculation that the couple had wed in a
secret ceremony
on the red carpet for that event sheeran
revealed to lorraine i'm not married i
never saw why men didn't wear engagement
rings it's the same commitment either
way
cherry made it for herself out of silver
clay i really like it i haven't told
anyone that either in an interview with
sky news
sheeran reiterated that the accessory
was his way of showing his commitment to
seabourn before their wedding it's an
engagement ring i feel like it's good to
both do things
many people think perfect as ed
sheeran's most romantic song ever
even though actress zoe deutsch plays
shiron's love interest in the music
video
it was inspired by the singer's real
love life shiren revealed that his wife
cherry seabourn was the inspiration
behind the swoon-worthy track and told
us weekly
perfect was the first song that i wrote
for the album it was inspired by cherry
i didn't see her first reaction to the
song because she lived in new york at
the time
so i just emailed it to her but she did
really like it nothing says true love
quite like casually emailing your
partner a song that's about them
and is so romantic it's guaranteed to be
played at a thousand weddings
in july 2019 more than a year and a half
after announcing his engagement ed
sheeran finally publicly confirmed that
he and cherry seabourn had wed
in true share and fashion the
announcement came in the form of a song
in a line from remember the name in
which he refers to her as his wife
even though sheeran and seabourn were
officially husband and wife by the time
the song made it to the airwaves the
singer hadn't yet put a ring on it when
he penned the lyric shiron explained in
an interview on youtube
it was actually before me and cherry got
married and i knew that we'd be married
by the point that the song came out
