Ed Sheeran has "real conflict" in his marriage to Cherry Seaborn

Speaking to fans at a Spotify Q+A session, Ed said: "Cherry knows I write about everything - not just the good stuff. Songs like Perfect exist, but so do the ones about real conflict.

"That's part of any relationship, and I think it's important to be honest about it."

The Azizam hitmaker revealed that a track that U2 frontman Bono wrote about missing his wife's birthday made him pen his own tune for Cherry.

He said: "It's a personal moment that exists only for her."

Sheeran - who has daughters Lyra, five, and Jupiter, three, with Cherry - also revealed that he had to readjust his workload in order to find the right balance between his music commitments and family life.

The A Team singer said: "In my early career, it was 100 per cent work, zero per cent personal life. Now it's 70 per cent family, 30 per cent music. Balance isn't just healthy - it's success.

"When I look back at these years with my family and friends, I want to say: I lived those days and I enjoyed every minute."

Ed has an estimated fortune of £370 million but revealed that his favourite holiday was a trip to budget resort Butlin's in Minehead earlier this year - where he dressed up in disguise as Wizzard frontman Roy Wood.

He recalled: "For my mate Doug's [stag], we went to Butlin's. It was an Eighties-themed weekender and we saw tribute bands Pearl Scam and Metal Militia.

"I dressed up as [Roy Wood from] Wizzard and I had this big beard, long white hair and sunglasses. And I was off my nut. It was great. Butlin's goes hard. I love it. I never thought I'd go to Butlin's. Then, when I was there, I was like, 'I need to come here more often - this is f****** awesome.'"

Ed recently announced that he was moving to the US but has now suggested it will only be a temporary relocation as he tours Stateside.

He told the BBC's The One Show on Monday (15.09.25): "What's wild is I've done this for all of my career. When I tour America I go live there, because I have a family, and the last time I toured America, no-one cared.

"But now there is a narrative around British people moving out of Britain, the press just wanted to jump on it and say that I was moving out."
