Ed Sheeran has made a fascinating confession about how his career as a musician has influenced his romantic life. In a candid video message shared on his Instagram account, the 33-year-old Grammy-winning artist humorously suggested that if he hadn’t become a musician, he might have remained a virgin.

Sheeran’s first widely known relationship was with Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt. The two were romantically involved in 2012, and their relationship inspired several of Sheeran’s songs, including “Nina” and “Photograph.” However, this relationship ended as they moved on to new chapters in their lives.

Following his time with Nesbitt, Sheeran dated Athina Andrelos, whom he was with from 2014 to February 2015. Andrelos inspired Sheeran’s hit song “Thinking Out Loud.” Despite their breakup, the song remains a testament to their time together.

In July 2015, Sheeran’s love life took a new turn when he rekindled a friendship with Cherry Seaborn, a childhood friend. Their relationship blossomed, leading to their engagement in January 2018. They tied the knot a year later in a private ceremony. Cherry Seaborn is the muse behind Sheeran’s romantic ballad “Perfect,” reflecting the deep affection he has for her.

The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2020 and joyfully announced the birth of their second daughter on May 19, 2022. Their growing family has been a significant part of Sheeran’s life, and his songs continue to reflect his personal experiences and relationships.
