Young love

The lovebirds were secretly married over Christmas in 2019 after a long romance. Indeed, the interpreter of "Shape of you" met Cherry at the age of 11, at school. They were then friends throughout their teenage years in the UK. Unfortunately, the two teenagers went their separate ways, Ed Sheeran was leaving to begin the musical career that we know him, and Cherry was moving to the United States.

It was in 2015 that fate brought them together again in New York. The two friends, 24 and 23, reunited while Cherry was working on Wall Street and Ed Sheeran had a 6-gig mini-tour in town. At that time, the musician was invited to celebrate July 4th at Taylor Swift, he then offered to join Cherry. A year later, Cherry Seaborn crossed the Atlantic to settle in Britain. This is how their story officially began.

All our congratulations to the happy parents !
