Are Cherry Seaborn and Ed Sheeran married?
Ed met Cherry Seaborn when he was at school and reportedly had a crush on.
But it wasn’t until 2015 that he asked her out and they began dating.
The singer had previously revealed on Instagram that he proposed to Cherry over the 2017 Christmas holidays.
In February 2018, The Sun exclusively revealed that the pair had got married in secret with NO celebrities as guests.
Ed hosted the ceremony at his country estate in Suffolk just before Christmas 2018, despite having his plans to build a wedding chapel on site rejected.
A source close to the singer revealed: “Ed got married a few days before Christmas. It was very quiet – just Ed’s oldest school pals, limited family and the priest.
“There were only 40 people – so no Taylor Swift, record company executives or any royals or pop star pals. He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them – just a tiny winter wedding.
“It’s amazing that he’s the biggest pop star in the world but he was just able to quietly slide off and wed.
“Neither of them were that fussed about making a big deal about it. Cherry just wanted to get it out of the way without any problems or intrusions.”
