It is common knowledge that artists like poets, painters, and singers have a muse that serves as their inspiration and motivates them to create masterpieces or works of art. For award-winning singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran, his muse is his wife, Cherry Seaborn. Let us get to know a little more about her and how she successfully balances career and family life.
Who is Ed Sheeran’s wife?
Ed Sheeran’s wife is Cherry Seaborn. They get married in January 2018 after being engaged for only a year, but they have been a couple since 2015. It is widely known that Cherry Seaborn and Ed Sheeran went to the same Thomas Mills High School in the UK. She was born on May 6, 1992 in Suffolk, England. After high school, she went to Durham University then went to Duke University in the USA for her MBA in 2013. Cherry then went to New York to work for the accounting firm, Deloitte, after her graduate studies.
In 2015, Cherry and Ed reconnected through a mutual friend, according to People Magazine. In the same article, Ed was uneasy at meeting her because he wonders if she remembers the ‘hookup’ they had in high school – which was just a sweet kiss. When they became official, Cherry continued to maintain a low profile in their relationship. She went back to London to work for Deloitte’s UK office. Aside from work, Cherry is also a field hockey player, having played in college and graduate studies. In fact, she led Durham University to the British University championship in 2012 and 2013. She still plays field hockey with friends occasionally and watches local teams play.
Cherry the wife and mother
After three years of dating, Ed and Cherry tied the knot in January 2018 at an intimate gathering of forty friends and family. Their first baby arrived in 2020, a daughter named Lyra Antarctica. Their second daughter, Jupiter, was born in 2022. While pregnant with Jupiter, Cherry received a cancer diagnosis. Doctors held off treatment for this cancer until after the baby was born. Today.com says that Ed was devastated upon hearing this news. He was worried about losing the love of his life. Their team of doctors moved quickly immediately after the delivery of Jupiter and removed the cancerous tumor. She is now cancer-free and busy with recovery and being a wife and mom.
