The Shape Of You singer Ed Sheeran has shared a rare insight into his home life as he confessed that he “mourns” one thing in a recent interview with Louis Theroux
Renowned musician Ed Sheeran has opened up about one aspect of his family life as he admitted that he mourns the fact that he can’t do one thing.
Having scaled the heights of fame for over a decade, Ed has attracted crowds wherever he has travelled with a number of his concerts seeing over 100,000 fans in attendance.
Before his sell-out shows, Ed’s first foray into the world of music came when he was a teenager, but it wasn’t until years later when he moved to London that his career began to take flight. It was on the back of his debut single, The A Team, that released in 2011 that he began to see his stock grow and grow.
Now boasting an array of chart topping hits and billions of streams on Spotify, Ed is now firmly placed among the UK’s biggest artists currently.
However, among the many benefits that his fame has afforded him, there have been some downsides for the 34-year-old, with him recently sharing how his notoriety has had a knock-on effect on his family life.
Explaining further during a recent appearance on the Louis Theroux podcast, Ed shared how the attention due to his fame has meant that he has struggled to do some of the most ordinary family activities.
He told the documentary maker: “I’m very, very private about my children’s image. And for me, I can’t take them to zoos or parks or anything really without someone trying to film them. And I don’t want my kids’ image out there on a stranger’s phone or device.”
Adding that he made this decision to protect his children, he admitted that he “mourns” not being able to enjoy the simple luxury of spending time in public with them: “Those are the times — the normal parts of life — that I kind of mourn for, and sort of wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird.”
Having met his wife, Cherry Seaborn, while the pair were both at school together in Suffolk, it wasn’t until years later after getting back in touch for the first time that the pair finally got together.
After their friendship was rekindled in 2015 thanks to a mutual friend, they soon started dating before eventually going on to tie the knot in 2019.
Since then, the couple have had two daughters: Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, born in 2020, and Jupiter Seaborn Sheeran, born two years later.
