Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn first met as teenagers. But they did not start dating until July 2015. Three years later, the couple announced their engagement.

Sheeran and Seaborn were first linked when they were spotted in New York together in July 2015. Two years later, the twosome was seen leaving the BRIT Awards.

In a March 2017 interview, the "Shape of You" singer opened up about how he and Seaborn reunited. It happened in New York.

"One of our best friends worked on my tour, so when we came to New York, where she was living at the time," he said, "we hung out and reconnected through our mutual friend. She's great."

That month, Sheeran also revealed how his number one song, "Perfect," was inspired by the love of his life. The singer, who started recording music in 2004, has sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

According to him, the line from "Perfect" that goes, "Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song," was about the time they were in Ibiza listening to Future's "March Madness."

Sheeran and Seaborn secretly tied the knot in front of just 40 loved ones.

Sheeran recalled they were not wearing any shoes at the time. They went "mental on the lawn," which for him was quite a beautiful moment.

The singer then confirmed their engagement in January 2018 through a post on social media. Along with a snap of the pair embracing, Sheeran wrote that he got himself a fiancé just before the new year.
