Ed Sheeran reveals tragic reason his marriage is ‘unbreakable’

ED SHEERAN has emerged from heartbreak to forge an “unbreakable bond” with his wife Cherry.

The superstar singer’s 2022 got off to an awful start, with his best pal Jamal Edwards passing away and his wife being diagnosed with a tumour.

The Eyes Closed singer debuted his entire new album Subtract in front of a live audience at London’s Eventim Apollo on Monday and spoke about how those experiences shaped the record.

Introducing No Strings, which he described as “one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written”, the dad of two said: “My dad said to me when I got married, ‘You will not know what real love and marriage is until there’s death and real sickness’.

“He said that because that happened when he first married my mum.

“There was real, real grief that happened in the family and real, real sickness that ended up in grief that they had to go through.

“He said that it really brought them together and once that happens it’s an unbreakable bond.

“I’ve been married now almost five years and I’ve always felt real, real closeness.

“But last year was when that unbreakable bond was made.

“I know you should feel that before with a marriage and children, but I really feel like ‘if we can get through 2022, we can get through anything’.”

During the intimate show, which Apple Music filmed to screen in May, he also told how he and Cherry moved on from their tough period.

Talking about another track, Spark, he said: “You know in movies when people have break-ups and they put everything into the fire and go, ‘It’s a new dawn’?

“I feel like that’s a healthy thing sometimes, to move on and be like, ‘That was then and this is now’.

“The lyrics in this chorus are we’ll build a fire, we’ll torch our old life and hope that the original spark of what made it amazing survives and we’ll just move on from it.”

Ed cried while talking about Jamal.

But it sounds like Cherry has been his rock throughout — and he has made a spectacular album from his heartache.

She told the audience: “You have watched me do this, sifting through life’s messiness for almost 25 years.

“Some of you find what I do annoying, and some of you find it brave, and I just find it necessary.

“Vulnerability means the ability to be wounded.

“I have decided to make vulnerability my life’s work, and for those of you that have joined me on this adventure, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“I’m grateful to be alive. I’m grateful I get to do this with my one precious life.

“Most of all, Willow and Jameson, I’m grateful to be your mama.”

Nicole Scherzinger and Madison Beer were also at Monday’s event, as was Taylor Swift, who collected five awards, including the Innovator gong and Song Of The Year for Anti-Hero.

Taylor said: “I really want everyone to know, especially young people, that the hundreds or thousands of dumb ideas that I’ve had have led me to my good ideas.

“You have to give yourself permission to fail.”

And Down With The Trumpets singer Jordan said of working with Jade: “The big part of the relationship is sharing creative ideas.

“I absolutely love that.

“I love having her in the studio and I love going to the studio with her.

“I like telling her my ideas.”

On the Straight Up podcast Jordan also revealed what it is like dating the Little Mix singer, who has ten million followers online.

On seeing others lusting after her, he said: “Oh my god, lusting, yeah, I think that’s well hot.

“I’m really into that s**t.

“I already feel different as a person with Jade.

“My feelings towards Jade, I don’t think I’ve felt in the same way or to the same extent before.”

The couple, who have been together two and a half years, are happy to go out on date nights, despite both being recognisable.

Jordan said: “This is mental but I actually get stopped more than her in London because she can just disappear.

“She can do this thing where she hides in plain sight, whereas I stick out.

“She is always like, ‘Jordan, we’re not going out with you looking like that’. I’ll have some jumper on, or shades.

“But when people clock that it’s Jade then we’ve got to move because that has a rolling effect.

“But we hide about and we get the Tube.”
