Off the market! Ed Sheeran secretly weds fiancée Cherry

Ed Sheeran has ‘married his fiancée Cherry Seaborn in a low-key ceremony’.

The Shape Of You hitmaker, 28, tied the knot with his childhood friend, 26, just before Christmas, in a ceremony which saw just 40 close friends and family in attendance, according to The Sun.

This comes just a year after Ed had denied that he and Cherry had tied the knot, after he was questioned about a new ring that had appeared on his wedding finger.

A source said:

Ed got married a few days before Christmas. It was very quiet – just Ed’s oldest school pals, limited family and the priest.

‘There were only 40 people – so no Taylor Swift, record company executives or any royals or pop star pals. He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them – just a tiny winter wedding. 

‘Neither of them were that fussed about making a big deal about it. Cherry just wanted to get it out of the way without any problems or intrusions.‘

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Ed Sheeran for comment.

The source went onto claim that Ed and Cherry are planning a big festival-style wedding for the summer for their celebrity pals, who were not told about their decision to marry in secret.

Ed announced his engagement to Cherry, 26, in January with a candid Instagram snap, gushing to fans: ‘Got myself a fiancée just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx’

The wedding may certainly prove a surprise to some of Ed’s closest friends, including Rudimental who just weeks earlier laughed off speculation that he was now a married man.

Band member Piers Aggett told the Daily Star:

We did get an invite to the wedding and I am looking forward to it. He had to invite us after we said we’ll crash it, we’ll have a drink with him and celebrate his amazing day.

Back in August, Ed was forced to deny claims that he had married Cherry, during an interview with Access where he sported a new ring on his wedding finger.
