Sheeran denies wedding

Ed Sheeran has denied claims he’s married fiancée Cherry Seaborn in secret, revealing the band he’s been wearing on his left hand is “an engagement ring.”

Reports suggesting the singer had married have been swirling for weeks, and Sheeran fuelled the speculation by sporting a silver band on his left ring finger.

But at the Brit Awards in London on Wednesday, he clarified that the ring is not an indication he’s a married man.

During an interview on the red carpet at the O2 Arena, Sky News asked him what the ring means, to which he said: “It’s an engagement ring. I don’t know, I feel like it’s good to both do things.”

Asked when he will be walking down the aisle, he declined to be drawn on a potential wedding date, replying: “It will be a situation like this where no one knows.”

Sheeran proposed to Seaborn on New Year’s Eve and announced the engagement in January, sharing a photo of them embracing.

“Got myself a (fiancée) just before new year. We are very happy and in love,” he wrote, adding: “And our cats are chuffed as well xx.”

Their relationship blossomed in 2016 when Sheeran took time away from the spotlight to recuperate after years of touring. And he recently revealed his romance with Seaborn, a risk advisory consultant, even had him thinking about fatherhood.

“I don’t want to be touring when I have kids,” he told U.K. program Good Morning Britain last March. “I want to be nipping out now and then and actually being able to be a father. So yeah, I think I would definitely have kids, I’d definitely love all the kids in the world, but I don’t want to have them right now.”
