Ed Sheeran has shared a heartwarming glimpse into his life as a father, revealing how his daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, are connecting with his music.
The globally renowned singer-songwriter, who married his childhood friend and former hockey star Cherry Seaborn in 2018, is a proud dad to Lyra, 4, and Jupiter, 3. In a recent appearance on Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast, Sheeran opened up about his daughters’ growing appreciation for his songs.
When asked if his children have any favorite tracks, Sheeran responded that they are especially fond of “Sapphire.” He explained that the girls were present in India during the recording of the track, observing the studio sessions as traditional instruments like tablas and santoors were being incorporated. “They were watching all of that happen,” he said, adding that both daughters now know most of the lyrics by heart.
The Photograph singer also shared that Cherry helps introduce their children to his older albums, including his Mathematics collection. While Sheeran is often away on tour, his wife plays his music at home, gradually immersing the girls in his discography.
Sheeran is currently touring as part of his global +–=÷× Tour and is scheduled to perform three back-to-back concerts in Ipswich, UK, from July 11 to 13. These performances mark his first UK shows since 2023, and fans are eager to welcome him back on home turf.
The rare insight into Sheeran’s personal life offered fans a touching reminder of his journey from global pop icon to devoted father. As he continues to tour, Sheeran’s music is clearly making a lasting impression on the next generation—starting with his own kids.
With emotional connections to songs like “Sapphire,” Lyra and Jupiter are already showing signs of inheriting their father’s love for music. Fans can catch Ed Sheeran live this weekend as he returns to the UK stage.
