Los Angeles, March 13 – English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has spoken about the worst day of his life. The singer said that the day his wife was diagnosed with cancer was "the worst" of his life.
The 35-year-old singer's spouse, Cherry Seaborn, was pregnant with the couple's second child, daughter Jupiter, now three, when doctors discovered a tumor in 2022, and Ed has reflected on the difficult time in their lives, which came just days after his friend and collaborator, Jamal Edwards, died from a cardiac arrhythmia, according to 'Female First UK'.
Asked about the best and worst days of his life, the singer said on the Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco's podcast, "Friends Keep Secrets", "Cherry called me and said she had cancer. That was probably the worst day".
He noted that the day came amid "the worst week" of his life because of Jamal's death. But thankfully, the singer's wife, with whom he also has five-year-old daughter Lyra, is "totally fine" now, even though things were "scary" at the time.
Asked how Cherry is now, the singer said, "She's fine. She had the operation, she was pregnant at the time, that's why it was difficult. She had the operation to remove the tumor after she gave birth to our second child, and thankfully, she's totally fine".
According to 'Female First UK', when it came to the best day of his life, he singled out the day he and Cherry married in 2019. Elsewhere during the interview, the Castle on the Hill singer thinks he'd like another daughter one day.
Asked if he is keen to have a son, he said: "You know what? I don't know. I don't know. I think maybe I'd want another girl, I think. I don't know".
The singer thinks the small age gap between his girls has helped make touring as a parent easier, particularly now they are a little older.
