Sheeran offered rare insight into his relationship with Seaborn in his Sum of It All docuseries, which dropped on May 3 via Disney+.
“It’s, like, alongside all the professional achievements have been personal achievements,” the “Celestial” singer said of his career highlights. “Like, I’ve got married and I’m a dad who has two daughters. … My and Cherry’s relationship is the most amazing thing in my life that no one really knows about. Everything in my life sort of got so much better when she got into it.”
Sheeran and Seaborn also recalled the singer’s intimate proposal at home.
“I had the date of the engagement engraved on the ring,” the British crooner added in the doc. “It had to happen on this day!”
Seaborn, for her part, noted that her now-spouse insisted that they leave their house after she had just made food. “He was like, ‘We’ve gotta do this.’ And I was like, ‘Ed, stop being such a [swear word],’” she said. “I spun around as I was saying it and he was on one knee with the ring out. I was like, ‘Oh!’”
Sheeran added: “And she said, ‘Are you joking?’ And I just said, ‘Please?’”
The Grammy winner had previously alluded to Seaborn’s proposal response in his 2021 song “First Times.” He sang: “The greatest thing that I have achieved / These four little words, down on one knee / Said, ‘Darling, are you joking?’ / And I just said, ‘Please.'”
