Congratulation is a must for Ed Sheeran and his wife of two years Cherry Seaborn, as the couple is expecting their first child together.

It is reported that the couple is weeks away from becoming parents, after keeping her pregnancy quiet during the global coronavirus lockdown.

The news comes after Sheeran announced at the end of last year that he was taking an extended break from his career to focus on traveling and his personal life.

The couple have been together for five years. The "Shape of you" singer, 29, and Seaborn, 27  first met at school, when they both attended Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk.

However, Seaborn moved to the US for university, she moved back to the UK in 2016 to be with Sheeran, after working on Wall Street.

Sheeran confirmed last summer that he and Seaborn tied the knot in a private ceremony in January 2019.

The couple wed in a ceremony that saw just 40 close friends and family in attendance, the Sun reported.

In 2018, Sheeran announced his engagement to Seaborn with a candid Instagram snap, gushing to fans: 'Got myself a fiancée just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx'

The couple first met as children when they both attended Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk.

However, Seaborn moved to the US for university, she moved back to the UK in 2016 to be with Sheeran, after working on Wall Street.

He explained that Seaborn's job as a risk assessor at an accounting firm meant they have previously been separated for a long period when he's been on tour, explaining that ‘something has to give’ in order for the couple to last long term.

Sheeran stated that ‘he is starting a life with Seaborn, pointing out that he cannot spend the next 20 years on the road as kids would be the different thing.

"I wouldn’t mind sacrificing for them. If someone told me you can’t tour again for the next ten years if you have kids that is fine, because that is what I have signed up for," he added.

Sheeran has been building and adding onto his estate for the last five years, and now has a pub, swimming pool and hot tub, orchard, walled kitchen garden, greenhouses, an underground cinema, a gym, a recording studio, a wildlife pond and an area for goats, sheep, and chickens.
