Ed Sheeran is now a father of two! He surprised fans on May 19 by announcing on Instagram that he and his wife were dating Cherry Seaborn welcomed a little girl into their family. “I want to let you all know that we’ve had another beautiful girl,” he captioned a snap of white baby socks on an ombré brown knit blanket. “We’re both so in love with her and so happy to be a family of four.” He didn’t reveal his new bundle of joy’s exact date of birth or their name.

The British singer, 31, and Cherry, 29, welcomed their first daughter Lyra in August 2020. Ed similarly announced the birth news, taking to Instagram to write a simple note to fans. “Elo! A quick message from me as I have some personal news to share with you… Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter – Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran,” he wrote beneath a picture of blue and white baby socks over a brown, blue, and green knit blanket. “We are totally in love with her. Mom and baby are doing great and we’re on cloud nine over here. We hope you can respect our privacy at this time. Love and see you when it’s time to come back, Ed x.” At the time, fans learned the couple were expecting just weeks before Cherry went into labor.

While Ed and Cherry keep their personal lives under wraps, Ed has opened up about being a dad a few times. In May 2021, he admitted his daughter isn’t his “biggest fan” and “just cries” when he plays his new songs to her. However, he said she likes his 2017 hit “Shape of You.” And in November of this year, he gave another update about his precious girl. “She’s amazing! She walks, she talks. She’s at my parents’ house right now and having a great time,” he told Entertainment Tonight with a smile. He also said he thinks her first word is ‘dad’, sei but not quite sure.

Ed and Cherry got married in 2019. They knew each other from Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk, but didn’t get back together until 2015. They started dating after Ed invited her to Taylor Swift‘s Fourth of July party, according to Ed’s 2017 interview with PEOPLE. “I went to Taylor’s Fourth of July party. I wrote a text message [Cherry], and she said, ‘I’m in Rhode Island at a July 4th party,’ and I said, ‘Me too.’ I said to Taylor, ‘Can I invite one of my old schoolmates over?’ The rest is history,” he recalls.

What a sweet story! Congratulations to the second-time parents.
