Ed Sheeran fans shocked over his ultra-private wife's secret career
It turns out Ed Sheeran isn't the only high achiever in his household.
While the Grammy-winning singer was crisscrossing the globe selling out arenas and topping charts, his wife, Cherry Seaborn, was quietly building an impressive corporate career of her own.
Fans were recently left stunned when a screenshot of notoriously private Cherry's LinkedIn page went viral online, revealing she has spent years working as a Manager at Deloitte.
That's right, the woman known publicly as Ed's longtime love and mother of his two daughters also spent nearly a decade climbing the ranks at one of the world's biggest consulting firms.
After the image began circulating on X, formerly Twitter, it sparked a flurry of admiration and surprise online.
Not only did Cherry juggle a demanding corporate job while being married to one of the world's most famous musicians, but she also hit pause on her career at one point to pursue further education.
Her resume includes a Master's degree from Duke University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Business from the University of Cambridge.
And before her most recent stint as Manager in Deloitte's Nature, Climate and Sustainability - Innovation, she worked in both the London and New York offices, amassing nearly nine years with the firm overall.

Social media users couldn't help but express awe at Cherry's ability to stay out of the spotlight while still carving her own path.
'Women that keep being who they are after marrying rich people or super stars >>>,' one X user wrote.
'I really don't fancy when a babe's life/career/identity is tied to her husband's career alone.'
Others claimed that having your own career as a woman wasn't just impressive - it was a necessity.
'I feel like this is the only way to stay sane as a woman if you're married to a "superstar" guy,' one user shared.
'There's already such a power imbalance there. You NEED to be able to walk away at any moment, have your own career and identity protected at all costs.'
While some praised Cherry, others made jokes about how she still had a career despite being married to a famous (and wealthy) musician.
'Not even being a rockstar can sustain having a family under a single income in London,' one X user wrote.

Other fans joked about both Cherry and Ed working despite their high salaries
'Imagine making that much money and your partner still has to work as a pop singer,' another joked, referencing the high-paying salaries Deloitte is known for.
The couple's love story goes back to their teenage years at Thomas Mills High School in Suffolk, England.
They reconnected in 2015 while both were living in New York City, and tied the knot in 2018.
Since then, they've welcomed two daughters: Lyra in 2020 and Jupiter in 2022.

Musical Evita facing growing controversy after multiple members of the public fall ill
THE latest performance of West End musical Evita is facing a growing controversy. On Thursday evening two ambulances raced to The London Palladium after multiple members of the public fell ill - with one being whisked to hospital. Large crowds of up to 200 people gathered outside the venue for hours to see actress Rachel Zegler, 24, perform Don't Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony. But as the country baked in blistering heat members of the public struggled to cope resulting in emergency services being called just minutes before Rachel was due to belt out the hit. A source said: 'As word spreads more and more people are flocking to the Palladium to see Rachel's performance and it's turning into a bit of a nightmare. 'Crowd control is bad enough on the public street but with the heat it's becoming really dangerous. 'Ambulances were parked outside the venue for almost an hour before racing to the hospital just minutes before Rachel appeared.' A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called at 8.16pm yesterday to reports of a person unwell in Argyll Street, central London. 'We sent two ambulance crews to the scene. 'While treating the patient, our crews were called to help a second person who was unwell nearby. 'One patient was taken to hospital and the second was given medical advice and discharged at the scene.' Madonna sings Don't Cry For Me Argentina in the 1996 film Evita 1

Time for change: watches that are worn anywhere but the wrist
While most watches today are worn on the wrist, originally they came in the shape of fobs — attached to a waistcoat or uniform by a chain or ribbon — or were hung on pins. Later they were put on wrist straps for convenience, a style that was common after the First World War. Now makers are relegating the telling of time to a secondary function. 'We're seeing watches evolve into expressions of personal style as consumers seek more distinctive accessories,' explains Ben Staniforth, of the pre-owned luxury timepiece retailer Watchfinder & Co. 'Worn on lapels as pendants or integrated into couture, they reflect a trend where fashion meets functionality.' This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Arsham Droplet watch, £76,000, If evidence is needed that this is entering mainstream culture, the actress Jenna Ortega rocking up at A$AP Rocky's Met Gala afterparty last month with an antique men's pocket watch by Heuer (known today as Tag Heuer) from c 1914 dangling from her tuxedo bodysuit should be proof enough. And the high echelons of watchmaking have cottoned on to this trend for self-expression too. Hermès debuted its Maillon Libre brooch watch in April. This gem of a timepiece can be pinned to a lapel or sleeve, or worn around the neck with a leather cord — and is a frontrunner for design ingenuity. Despite its established place in the serious fashion sphere, Chanel also knows how to have fun with its designs. The new Kiss Me necklace appropriately takes the form of the brand's cult lipstick. If that wasn't charmant enough, it slides open to reveal a hidden watch dial. Kiss Me necklace in yellow gold, golden beryls, rhodolites, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sixtie sautoir watch in rose gold, white opals and diamonds, POA, Also restringing its pearls is Piaget, which has taken inspiration from its archival necklace watches from the Sixties: the Sixtie sautoir has a lozenge watch dial as its focal point in a masterful melding of high jewellery and horology. And Hublot's long-standing collaboration with leading artists resulted in the release of a timepiece that sent ripples through the watch world last year. Designed by the visual artist Daniel Arsham, the Droplet is tethered to a chain and cased in sapphire glass, offering a clear view of the moving mechanical parts within. This cute kidney bean of a timepiece is as far removed from your grandad's gold pocket watch as you can get. Van Cleef & Arpels is a dab hand with watches that combine complex engineering with stellar gem setting. At first glance, its padlock-shaped Cadenas might look like a heavy-duty bracelet, but take a closer look and you'll find an angled watch dial set among a dazzling mix of gold, diamonds and sapphires. Panthère hinged bangle watch in yellow gold, lacquer, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sundial watch in steel, £128, Cartier is another high jeweller and watchmaker that excels at combining precious materials with covert details. Its new Panthère has Duchess of Windsor glamour in spades with its big-cat hinged bangle: cast in solid gold and set with precious stones, it also fits in a watch dial, revealed by turning your wrist a few degrees. But the most novel creation is by the young, dynamic German brand Nomos Glashütte. Its sundial watch, which can be worn as a ring or around your neck, has a machined hole that lets a beam of sunlight fall on the engraved numbers to tell the hours. It's useless at night, but it will certainly be a talking point during working hours.
