And baby makes three! Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, are officially proud parents. The couple welcomed their sweet little one during the last week of August, and Ed took to Instagram on Sept. 1 to gush over the news. “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,” he wrote.
His post continued, “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.” He also included a photo of baby socks and a blanket with his message.”
News first broke that the couple was expecting their first child together in mid-August. The “Shape Of You” singer, 29, decided to take an extended break from touring following his two-year long tour for his 2017 album, Divide. Naturally, the time away from the road was the perfect opportunity for the two to plan their future and start their family.
“Lockdown was a perfect excuse not to be seen out and about too much, but things are getting closer and the excitement has been building, so they have started telling friends and family,” according to The Sun report. “They’re just making the last of the preparations at home, and the baby is expected later this summer. It’s a really happy time and their families are all totally delighted for them and cannot wait to meet the new arrival.”
