R&B heart throb Ed Sheeran has just married his long time sweetheart,
Cherry Seabon, in a very secret ceremony at his home town. Ed has done a good
job keeping his love life out of the public eye, but here is a something you
should know above Ed and Cherry
25-year-old Ed, and Cherry, who’s 24, first met as pupils at Thomas Mills
High School in Framlingham, Suffolk.
Flame-haired Ed developed a crush on his pretty classmate -but any chance of
romance was cut short as academic Cherry transferred to America to attend Duke
University in Durham, North Carolina where she studied for a degree in
molecular biology.
While rocker Ed dropped out of school at 16 to pursue a career in the music
industry – which paid off beyond his wildest dreams as he rocketed to global
superstardom off the back of hugely successful award-winning albums.
But fame came at a price for the flame-haired singer.
In 2015 Ed left fans heartbroken when he announced he was stepping away from the limelight and taking a year off social media and a year away from music.
In an interview, Ed said he even locked himself away in his London home for four months as he struggled to come to terms with his enormous celebrity.
“I watched movies. I couldn’t just go out and get a pint of milk. I always wanted to maintain normality. I was ordering takeaways and putting on a lot of weight,” he admitted.
After hitting a low-point, a frazzled Ed saw a way out in using some of his wealth to tour the world – and included a stop in Cherry’s new place of residence.
Desperate to get in touch with his roots after his mammoth success, Ed took the step of reaching out to his old school friend.
Luckily, Cherry was delighted to hear from him and it wasn’t long before the pair were spotted hanging out together in the States – and were photographed at baseball games and on other coupley days out.
“This has been the first time I’ve ever actually had the time to fall in love properly. I’ve always got into relationships very passionately — I’m a redhead and also Irish,” Ed said of their early days.
As romance blossomed, Cherry took some time out of her schedules and joined Ed on a ‘late gap year’ travelling to Japan, New Zealand Ghana.
On their return, Cherry took a position at accountancy firm Deloitte in London in order to be closer to Ed’s base.
The smitten pair then moved in together, enjoying their success privately rather than hanging out at wild showbiz parties.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Ed said “I’m actually the happiest I’ve been and it’s because I had a year to spend with someone. I’ve always started relationships then gone off on tour.
“I spent every day for a year with this certain person, we kind of have a strong relationship now which is good.
“I’m really secure now, we live together and we have cats, and I think when you have cats that’s kind of it.”
