LONDON, United Kingdom — “I found a love for me,” so goes the first line of Ed Sheeran’s song “Perfect.”
On Saturday, the British singer-songwriter announced his engagement to childhood friend Cherry Seaborn.
“Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well,” he told his 18 million followers on Instagram.
Sheeran, 26, is one of the best-selling artists in the world and his latest album “Divide” smashed Spotify records, drawing 57 million listens on the first day of its release — nearly twice the previous highest.
Sheeran and Seaborn have reportedly been dating since 2015.
