Cherry Seaborn just gave birth to her and Ed Sheeran’s daughter, so here’s what you need to know about the singer’s wife.
“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 Sheeran posted to his Instagram on Sept.1, mere weeks after the initial reports of this secret pregnancy. While Ed,29, and Cherry,28, have kept their personal life out of the spotlight, they couldn’t keep this good news to themselves. “We are completely in love with her,” he added. “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’s been on an extended break from the music biz after a two-year-long tour for his 2017 album, Divide. He and Cherry were reportedly looking forward to having kids ever since Ed confirmed their marriage in 2019 — and now they have! It appears that the COVID-19 pandemic helped them in these endeavours. The couple stayed close to their home in Suffolk, England, and all this time out of the public eye allowed them to not just start a family, but to also keep it under wraps. Now that Ed and Cherry are on “cloud 9” with their baby girl, here’s the scoop on the woman who captured Ed’s heart.1. Cherry has known Ed since they were both in high school. 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.
