Sheeran, known for his ginger hair and shy demeanour, married Seaborn in 2019, having known her since he was 11 years old.

The couple gave birth to their first daughter, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, in August 2020. She was welcomed by the musician in a similar Instagram post with a photo of tiny socks.

Sheeran, 31, is the most successful British artist of the past decade, spending a total of 79 weeks at the top of the charts with eight no. 1 singles, including the global smash “Shape of You,” and four studio albums.

He first entered the British charts in 2011 with debut single “The A Team.” His most recent success came at the Ivors in London, where he won the category for most performed work with his hit song “Bad Habits.”
