Popular English singer Ed Sheeran becomes a father

Popular English singer and songwriter, Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl.

The excited music star and new father took to his social media page on Tuesday to break the news alongside a photo of baby blanket and socks.

The 29-year-old singer revealed that they welcomed the baby last week, adding that the mother and child are in good condition.

He also disclosed the baby’s name as Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran.

He wrote;

“Ello! A quick message from me as I have some personal news that I wanted to share with you… Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter – Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran,”

“We are completely in love with her. Both mum and baby are doing amazing and we are on cloud nine over here.”

Sheeran, however, appealed to the public to respect the family’s privacy during this period, noting that he would divulge further information “when it’s time to come back.”

“We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Lots of love and I’ll see you when it’s time to come back…,” he added.
