KUALA LUMPUR: English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is now father to a second daughter with wife Cherry Seaborn.
The popular 31-year-old pop aritste took to Instagram recently to share the happy arrival of his baby girl after apparently keeping the pregnancy a secret from the public.
In the post accompanied by a picture of a pair of white baby socks, Sheeran wrote: "Want to let you all know we've had another beautiful baby girl. We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x."
So far, the Shape Of You and Perfect hitmaker has not revealed any further details on the baby yet.
Sheeran has been married to 30-year-old childhood friend Seaborn since 2019 and the couple are also the parents of 21-month-old daughter Lyra.
The two did the same thing back in August 2020, when they announced the arrival of baby Lyra as a surprise together with a picture of white baby socks.
In that previous post, the award-winning singer wrote: "Ello! A quick message from me as I have some personal news that I wanted to share with you… Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter - Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran. We are completely in love with her.
He added: "Both mum and baby are doing amazing and we are on cloud nine over here. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Lots of love and I'll see you when it's time to come back, Ed x."
According to news reports, Sheeran had confessed several months ago that becoming a father had given him another purpose aside from his passion for music.
"I just found that I really didn't have purpose outside of music because when I was giving myself fixed time of no work, I wasn't doing anything I enjoyed because I love doing music.
"And being a dad has actually given me purpose and something in life that's actually more important than my job," he said.
