Ed Sheeran has announced he is leaving the UK to move to the United States with his family. The 34-year-old singer, currently based in Suffolk with his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two daughters, said he is relocating for the foreseeable future.
Speaking on The 2 Johnnies podcast, Sheeran explained that his upcoming US tour and family commitments prompted the move. 'I'm just about to move to America,' he said. 'I'm going on tour there for a while, and I have a family, so I can't dip in and out.'
The singer admitted he will miss watching Ipswich Town, the football club in which he owns a 1.4% stake. 'I went to almost every game last season – I think I can only make one this season because I'm moving to the States,' he added.
Sheeran's departure comes amid heightened security concerns. He revealed on The Louis Theroux Podcast that he maintains 24-hour security for his home and family following a recent break-in attempt. 'There are lots of dangerous people out there,' he said, describing such measures as normal in the music industry.
The singer has not disclosed his exact destination in the US. His UK property portfolio, including the Suffolk mansion known as Sheeranville, is reportedly worth £57 million.
