What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and major congratulations are
in order for Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn, who just announced they welcomed
a baby girl into the world.
Ed Sheeran is taking on what will be his most challenging, yet rewarding gig to date as
he and wife Cherry Seaborn just announced that Cherry gave birth last week to a beautiful,
healthy baby girl.
Ed returned to Instagram for the first time in 2020 to share an adorable photo of a pair
of baby socks to reveal the news to his fans while also sharing the baby’s name.
He said QUOTE, “Ello!
A quick message from me as I have some personal news that I wanted to share with you...
Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and
healthy daughter - Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran.
We are completely in love with her.”
Ed also updated fans on the health of his family, adding, “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, Ed x.”
The exciting news comes after Ed revealed to his fans that he would be taking a break
from music following the end of his Divide world tour in August of 2019.
He revealed at the time QUOTE, “I'm starting a life with Cherry.
I can't spend the next 20 years on the road.
Kids would be the different thing.
I wouldn't mind sacrificing for them.
If someone told me you can't tour again for the next 10 years if you have kids, that is
fine, because that is what I have signed up for.”
Ed’s family has always been his No. 1 priority as he’s been notably tight-lipped about
his personal life to protect their privacy.
Ed was rumored to be expecting a baby with Cherry when news broke just weeks ago, however,
the news was not yet confirmed by either party.
Back in August, a source revealed to Us Weekly QUOTE, “They are keeping details of the
baby’s sex and due date just to family until after the baby is born, which will be soon.
Ed will make a great dad.
He loves kids, and he built his big home in Suffolk, England, with the plan to start a
family.”
At the time, another source revealed that this isn’t exactly surprising coming from
Ed, who has talked about starting a family for years now.
The insider said, “Ed would always talk about getting married and having kids.
When friends of Ed would bring their children around, his parents would come by to see them
and they would always bring Ed’s old toys from childhood for the kids to play with.
His parents will be able to do that for Ed’s child soon too.”
The suprising baby announcement is similar to when Ed revealed that he had, in fact,
married Cherry while rumors of a secret marriage had been making their way around the Internet.
Ed would hint at Cherry being his wife in his music, more specifically his 2019 song
“Remember The Name”, but later confirmed their marriage while talking about the song
during an interview with iHeartRadio’s Charlamagne The God.
He said, “I actually wrote it before me and Cherry got married and I knew that we’d
be married by the point that the song came out.
I thought someone’s gonna hear that and be like, ‘Oh, they’re married!’
I didn’t know how that would be construed, but obviously it’s already come out.”
While talking about another one of his songs, “Best Part of Me,” featuring YERBA, Ed
gushed about Cherry saying, “I constantly wake up every day with Cherry and I'm just
like, 'Why the f--k are you with me?
You could literally be with whoever you wanted, and you've chosen me.
And I'm saying all of the things that I think are wrong with me, but you still want to be
with me.
And I just find that amazing.”
You know, just Ed out here proving that love does still exist…
The two actually met when he was 11 years old, and later reunited when they were both
visiting the U.S while Ed was on tour… and they celebrated the anniversary of their reunion
with the help of Ed’s good pal Taylor Swift.
While Ed was celebrating the 4th of July at Taylor’s Rhode Island mansion, Ed later
revealed to People Magazine QUOTE, “I went on tour again, and then I went to Taylor's
4th of July party.
I was texting Cherry, and she was like, ‘I’m in Rhode Island at a 4th of July party,’
and I was like, ‘So am I.’ I kinda said to Taylor, ‘Can I invite one of my old schoolmates?’
The rest is history.”
Ed confirmed the news of their engagement in a sweet Instagram to kick off the 2018
New Year, writing, “Got myself a fiancé just before new year.
We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx”
What an exciting time for Ed and Cherry, who clearly have SO much love to give to their
sweet Lrya.
We, here at Clevver, are thrilled for the new family, and can’t wait for more updates
