Ed Sheeran took a break from his global tour on Saturday to cheer on his wife Cherry Seaborn as she played in a hockey match. The singer, 32, proudly watched Cherry, 30, a part-time professional hockey player, represent the Harleston Magpies at a home game in Norfolk.
Cherry helped her team secure a 3-0 victory against Canterbury. A keen hockey player, she recently returned to her former club, which she represented at age 17, and was named Female Young Player of the Year in 2009.
During her time at Durham University, Cherry continued playing hockey and won the British University Championship in 2012 and 2013. She was also selected for the England Under-21s team in 2012 and helped win a bronze medal at the European Championships.
The match comes after Ed revealed that Cherry was diagnosed with a tumour during her pregnancy with their second child. The couple kept the pregnancy secret, but Ed later shared that they experienced 'fear, depression and anxiety' because Cherry could not receive treatment until after giving birth.
Ed and Cherry, childhood friends who attended secondary school together, began dating in 2015 and married four years later. They have two daughters: Lyra Antarctica, two, and Jupiter, born in May 2022.
In an Instagram post, Ed explained that he struggled with his mental health last year due to Cherry's health issues and the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards. He announced his sixth studio album, Subtract, which was inspired by these personal tragedies.
