It’s Perfect! Ed Sheeran announces his engagement
The Shape Of You singer has shared his happy news on Instagram.
Singer Ed Sheeran has shared news of his engagement and added that “our cats are chuffed as well”.
The musician revealed he and girlfriend Cherry Seaborn are engaged on Instagram.
Last year the singer credited Seaborn, who he has reportedly been dating since 2015, with nursing him back to health after he was involved in a bicycle accident.
He told the Capital Breakfast Show that she “had to brush my teeth”, and later added she is a “good woman”.
In February 2017 he alluded to their relationship on Radio 2, saying: “I spent every day for a year with this certain person, we kind of have a strong relationship now, which is good.
“I’m really secure now, we live together and we have cats, and I think when you have cats that’s kind of it.”
Seaborn, a keen hockey player, and Sheeran are rarely photographed together and keep their relationship very private.
She was believed to have been with Sheeran at a Buckingham Palace party in 2016 where it was claimed Princess Beatrice, 29, accidentally cut his face with a sword during a party prank.
Reports at the time alleged Beatrice swung a sword over her shoulder while she was pretending to “knight” James Blunt.
Blunt, a good friend of Sheeran’s, later cast doubts on the story, saying said it was a joke the pair had concocted.
In December 2016, he returned from a year-long break before releasing his new album Divide last year, which is still dominating the UK music charts.
The third studio album has had a successful run of topping the charts, and his single Perfect – which he has said was inspired by Seaborn – was the Christmas number one.
