Despite being notoriously private when it comes to his relationship, fans of Ed Sheeran got a heartwarming surprise when the singer-songwriter made a special announcement on social media. Early in 2018, Sheeran delivered the good news on Instagram. Posting a photo of himself and Cherry Seaborn wrapped in a loving embrace, Sheeran wrote, "Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love." But, of course, being discreet meant followers of the artist wouldn't get more details about the proposal until Sheeran wanted to share.
Recently, Sheeran appeared on the talk show Skavlan and finally spoke about his engagement and how his original plans didn't quite pan out the way he'd hoped. The artist stated that he'd initially wanted to pop the question outside at sunset, but unfortunately, a heavy rainstorm made Seaborn less than eager to head out to their garden. The "Shivers" singer added that he'd also had the date he'd arranged to propose engraved on the ring, making things even more complicated. Because of that, Sheeran continued to press Seaborn to go outside, and she eventually agreed. From there, things became even more awkward for Sheeran after he asked Seaborn to marry him. "I was like, 'Will you marry me?' And she was like, 'Are you f***ing joking?'" he recalled. While Seaborn did say yes, Sheeran states that the "long silence" was "the most human that I've ever felt."
