ED SHEERAN’s wife Cherry Seaborn has been by his side through thick and thin for the past years years while staying out of the limelight.
But she has emerged from his shadow to launch her own business.

I’ve learned Cherry, who works for a multi-national financial firm, has registered the retail brand Babes In Armour with Companies House.
Documents lodged by Cherry suggest it could sell products from toiletries and lingerie to maternity wear.
That will be something she knows plenty about, having given birth to their first daughter, Lyra, in August 2020, followed by their second, Jupiter, in May last year.
A source said: “Cherry has a career of her own and isn’t interested in Ed’s fame. Ed loves that she has her own passions.
“Babes In Armour was an idea she had with a friend, costume designer Jemima Penny and there are lots of possibilities.
“They have registered the name and are working out the finer details of what their new business will be. It’s very exciting.”
The Sun revealed last month how Ed had paid himself £30million in the past year, so there will be plenty of cash to fund her new venture — if she should ask.
Cherry and Ed met as 11-year-olds when they were at school but didn’t start dating until after they reconnected in 2015.
They married in secret in 2019 and live on an estate in rural Suffolk near to where they grew up.
Ed said of his wife last year: “She’s always been a private person.
“She’s never had a public Instagram. She’s never done a red carpet with me. We’ve always been super private.
“Our private life is our private life.”
With that in mind, I doubt she will be making herself the face of this new brand.
But with Ed’s fans bound to be supportive, I’m sure it will be a success.

The year ahead looks bright for Megan as she prepares to drop her next album in the coming months.
She released her track Cobra towards the end of last year under her own music brand, Hot Girl Productions.
Megan said it marked a “new chapter” for her career and teased fans by telling them: “The hotties should stay tuned.”
She added: “I really wanted to show the rebirth of Megan and set that tone with the song and the video.”
We’re here waiting, Megan.
Lewis is singing the blues
LEWIS CAPALDI has told of his past year’s in his new song A Cure For Minds Unwell.
The Scottish superstar released the track, along with four new others, on an extended edition of his No1 album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent yesterday.

On the soulful tune, Lewis sings: “Doing all the things that I’m supposed to, working every day the way that most do, smiling while I’m hiding what I’m going through.”

In the chorus, Lew adds: “Is there a cure for minds unwell? ’Cause my head’s a living hell.”
Lewis – who took a career break last June for his mental health – said he would continue working on himself in the coming months before making any decisions about returning to the stage.
LEIGH-ANNE PINNOCK’s bikini business has hit a bum note, after falling £116,000 in debt.
The Little Mix star set up Pure & Obsession Ltd with her pal Gabrielle Urquhart in 2018 to deal with the income from her swimwear firm In’A’Seashell.

However, documents filed at Companies House show it has seen its debts increase by £56,000 in the past year, more than a grand each week.
The business partners have so far kept it afloat with an interest-free loan of £137,250 as well as a bank loan of £19,000.
The news comes just days after it was revealed Perrie Edwards’ fashion firm was also in the red.
Leigh-Anne launched her solo career in June with the single Don’t Say Love and fans are hoping there will be a debut album and tour this year.
Her former bandmates Perrie and Jade Thirlwall are yet to reveal what they have been working on in the studio.
Focusing on the music, and giving up on the bikinis, might be the best plan for Leigh-Anne right now.

“It’s very dynamic. I sing on it a lot more.”
It will be a departure from 2021’s Poster Girl.
She explained: “Poster Girl was such an anxious little ball of pressure for me.
“I tried to make it fun and obviously it didn’t do as well as I wanted but I’m really proud of it and happy I can move on to create new stuff.
“If you’re too scared of things not going the way you want them to, you will never develop yourself as an artist.”
