Ed Sheeran has been happily married to Cherry Seaborn for over five years However, before finding his forever partner, his love life was often a topic of gossip. One of the more surprising rumors that caught everyone’s attention was the idea that he was in a relationship with Taylor Swift. Both Sheeran and Swift denied these claims. Still, this left many people wondering about how these rumors even began.
Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift’s long friendship
Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have shared a strong friendship since 2012. Their bond first attracted attention when Swift was spotted with Sheeran’s lyrics written on her arm during a performance in Australia. They were formally introduced by Swift’s management team later that year. This is how their long-lasting friendship and partnership started.
Their first major project together wasEverything Has Changed, a track from Swift’sRedalbum. Since then, they’ve teamed up on several tracks, including their duetThe Joker and the Queenfrom 2022. Additionally, they have performed together on numerous occasions, such as at Z100’s 2012Jingle Balland Swift’sRed tour, when Sheeran was the opening act.
Their friendship has also been filled with fun moments over the years. Swift made a playful allusion to her 2009 VMA incident with Kanye West when she offered Sheeran a jar of jam in 2013. Additionally, they have taunted one another online, such as when Swift made fun of Sheeran’s “peacocking” in an Instagram video in 2018 or when Sheeran dressed up as a British redcoat for her Fourth of July celebration.

Sheeran has frequently defended Swift in scandals and praised her hard ethic. Many people adore their friendship, which is based on respect for one another and a common creative journey.
In 2023, according toHollywood ReporterSheeran spoke with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, sharing how much he values his friendship with Swift. He mentioned that he often turns to her for advice about both his career and personal life.
“I have long, long, long conversations with Taylor about stuff just because I feel like she’s one of the only people that actually truly understands where I’m at,”
He further added,
“I mean that in itself is kind of therapy“
He mentioned that they discuss everything throughout their conversations. He clarified that the reason it feels like therapy is that he is speaking with someone who truly understands his emotions, fears, and difficulties.
How did the dating rumors start?
The dating rumors started in 2013. At that time Swift’sRedtour was going on. Sheeran was touring with her as the opening act. Sheeran’s departure from Swift’s hotel room around 4 a.m. was one specific incident that prompted speculation. Sheeran swiftly put an end to the allegations, clarifying that they were simply spending late nights listening to new music together.
With not much to hide, Sheeran and Swift have been open about their close friendship over the years. In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Sheeran even addressed the rumors once more, criticizing the headlines that implied they were dating.
Ed Sheeran’s married life
Before settling down with Seaborn, Ed Sheeran was romantically linked to Ellie Goulding and Athina Andrelos. However, his bond with Seaborn has been particularly special.

The couple tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony in late 2018, just before Christmas, after dating for three years. Since then, they’ve welcomed two daughters, Jupiter and Lyra Antarctica.
Ed Sheeranand Cherry Seaborn’s love story began long before they officially reconnected. The pair first met as children but lost touch until they met again in 2015, thanks to a mutual friend, Lauren. They reconnected, quickly fell in love, and have been blissfully married since 2018.
“One day, my friend Lauren was in New York and she went to go out with Cherry because Cherry worked on Wall Street,”
Sheeran recalled, according toPeople.
“And then she was like, ‘Oh, Cherry Seaborn is in town—do you want to hang out?’ I was like, ‘Yes.’”
“In my head, the last time I’d seen Cherry we hooked up. … I was like, What if she remembers that? Because it was like a while ago. It was very innocent. Very gentle—it was a kiss.”
Sheeran mentioned that the last time they saw each other before reconnecting, they had shared a kiss, and he wondered if she remembered that moment. Sheeran often speaks fondly of his wife and has even mentioned that Seaborn is the muse behind several of his hit songs, such asPhotographandEnd Game.

But for them, things haven’t always been simple. Seaborn was diagnosed with a tumor during her second pregnancy. This required surgery, but the procedure could not be performed until after the baby was born. Sheeran talked openly about this challenging period in 2022, describing how they had to decide whether to give birth to Jupiter early. Luckily, Seaborn was able to carry the pregnancy to term, and the tumor was successfully removed after the birth.
