Ed Sheeran has given his strongest hint yet that he has already tied the knot with his fiancée of eight months, Cherry Seaborn. Ed Sheeran appeared on American TV show Access recently, when he was asked about his wedding details. The interviewer asked the 'Shape of You' singer "What about the wedding details? Have you picked a date? Do you know when, do you know where yet?"
In response to the question, the singer just shrugged, gesturing towards the silver ring on his ring finger as he smiled. Taking the hint, interviewer then replied, "Alright! That’s exciting! Congratulations my friend. How did you sneak that one?"
The 27-year-old pop star, who is notoriously private about his personal life, then said, "Well, I never really do anything too public anyway."
After receiving congratulations from the interviewer, Ed then replied, "Thank you". So, while it isn't a full confirmation it is a VERY strong hint that he might have in fact married Cherry, who he has been dating for a few years.
Watch the interview with Ed Sheeran below:
Ed announced his engagement to Cherry Seaborn, who was a childhood friend, back in January this year, in a photo on Instagram which has now had over 5 million likes. Although he didn't confirm the date they got engaged, it's understood to be at the end of 2017. The caption read, 'Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx'. [sic]
