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. 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 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. After the image began circulating on X, formerly Twitter , it sparked a flurry of admiration and surprise online 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.

Ed Sheeran reveals he has 24-hour security out of fear of 'dangerous people' after attempted break-in
Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has enlisted 24-hour security for himself and his family amid safety concerns about 'dangerous people'. The singer, 34, made the confession on the latest episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast while discussing his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two daughters. Speaking about life in the limelight, Ed revealed there had been an attempted break-in at his sprawling Suffolk home, dubbed Sheeranville, in the English countryside. He said: 'I do think that there is a different kind of normal that is our business. I have like 24-hour security on my house. I have security with my kids. 'I have security with me. I have security with my wife, just because there have been a couple of weird things over the years that have happened.' Louis appeared shocked, to which Ed added: 'Just so you know there's lots of dangerous people out there. We've had, like you know, a break-in attempt. 'In my industry, that's normal. That's kind of like an underlying thing that no one really talks about, but that is kind of a part of being in the public eye.' Elsewhere in the episode, Ed lifted the lid on his very famous pals ranging from Elton John and Dave to Stormzy. He also recalled how Van Morrison once woke him up at six in the morning after a boozy night out with golfer Rory McIlroy. He said: I was doing a gig in Belfast and my grandmother had come down to the gig and she loves golf. Rory had come down and she loved being around him. We stayed up super late talking to him, and I'd say we went to bed at like 4am. 'About 6am, I got a call on my hotel phone from the hotel - "Mr Morrison's in the lobby, he wants to have breakfast with you". I was half asleep and half drunk. So I just hung up and I was like, "I have no idea who Mr Morrison is." 'Then I got another call and they said, "Sorry, Van Morrison is in". I ran downstairs and there he was waiting for me and we had breakfast, which is really surreal.' Another of the stars Ed has been lucky enough to spend time with is Eminem, who he worked with on the rapper's 2018 song River. Ed said: 'He loves comic books, Marvel movies, and video games. I sent him a Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye on it because he'd never played it.' And the singer also revealed he once gave Stromzy a lift to the pub after buying his first car, a Mini. 'He didn't fit in the back,' he said. 'He seems like he'd be quite shy but I don't think he is when you get to know him. His humor is very similar to mine.'

Why is Ed Sheeran very private about his kids?
Ed Sheeran is "very, very private" about his children. Also Read Video: Ed Sheeran's India street performance halted by police The 34-year-old pop star admits that it's difficult to raise a family while living in the public eye. Ed - who has daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, with his wife Cherry Seaborn - said on The Louis Theroux Podcast: "I'm very, very private about my children's image ... I can't take them to zoos or parks or anything really without someone trying to film them. "There are times where the normal parts of life I kind of mourn for and wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird, you know?" Ed pointed out that his kids "have not signed up" for the pitfalls of fame and success. The Perfect hitmaker explained: "People go, well that's the trade-off. But my kids have not signed up to that." Despite his best efforts, Ed admits that it's impossible to shield his children from fame all of the time. The award-wining star prefers to take commercial flights because of environmental concerns, but he conceded that it can lead to problems. Ed said: "We're flying back on Ryanair from a gig in Italy last year but all of my fans who'd been at the gig were flying back! "I like the environment, I like trees. I'd find it hard to justify. No one's perfect. When we're doing intense promo trips, there will be the odd time [taking a private jet]." Ed believes his music career peaked with his Divide album back in 2017. But he's actually feels much happier now. He explained: "I kind of feel I had my peak with Divide and I'm kind of coasting now. I don't know if I'll ever get back up there again but [when I had] that level of fame, that was my unhappiest [time]. "I'm much happier with the balance I've got now." Ed previously admitted that fame has left him feeling like a "zoo animal" at times. He told The Sun newspaper: "You feel like a zoo animal. I don't mean to complain, I have a cool job and life. But I just want to avoid that."

The singer wrote the track after revisiting an old phone during the lawsuit over his hit 'Thinking Out Loud.' He had been accused of copying Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On but was cleared in court in 2023. Taking to the stage at the Liverpool-based festival, Ed opened up about the inspiration behind his new song Old Phone before performing it for the first time in front of a crowd. Referring to his copyright trial, told the crowd: 'The judge ordered me to give up my old devices to the other lawyers for them to go through all my text messages and emails and photos and stuff like that. 'And in that process I switched on a phone that I had not looked at in 10 years and it was like looking into the past and it was conversations with people who had passed away.'
