Ed Sheeran has made a surprising announcement that her wife, Cherry Seaborn, had a tumor last year that could only be treated after the birth of their second child.

The 32-year-old revealed how many life-changing occurrences in February 2022 influenced the direction of his new album, "Subtract," which will be published in May.

Apart from his pregnant wife's tumor, he also informed that his best buddy Jamal Edward died unexpectedly. He is also recognized for assisting Ed Sheeran's and Rita Ora's careers. Jamal died as a result of a recreational drug overdose.

"I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiraling through fear, depression and anxiety."

The "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker told his millions of fans, "I had been working on 'Subtract' for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be."

He mentioned that the events altered his life, and his mental health changed how he viewed music and art.

"I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air."

Ed Sheeran's Wife

Cherry Seaborn is Ed Sheeran's wife's name. She and Ed allegedly met at Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk, UK. They met again later in life and started dating in 2015.

Cherry, like Ed, has a sporting background, having played field hockey in college. She also worked as a consultant for Deloitte before returning to Duke University to obtain a master's degree in molecular biology.

Ed and Cherry announced their engagement in January 2018 and married in a private ceremony that December. Ed has stated in interviews that he wants to keep his personal life private, therefore the pair has typically kept their relationship out of the public spotlight.

Ed Sheeran's Children

Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran was born in August 2020, and Ed and Cherry Seaborn have kept most of their daughter's childhood private. In interviews, the "Shape of You" singer has stated that he intends to take a sabbatical from music to spend more time with his family, implying that he may want to have more children in the future.
