Ed Sheeran Says Wife Cherry Seaborn Is Doing Well After Post-Birth Cancer Surgery

He recounts how a week of loss made the “Shape of You” lawsuit feel irrelevant.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Sheeran said Seaborn had a tumor removed after their second child’s birth and is recovering well.
  • The cancer was identified during her 2022 pregnancy, which meant doctors waited until after delivery to operate.
  • Sheeran called the day he learned of the diagnosis the worst day of his life and described the following days as his worst week.
  • During that stretch he also grieved the deaths of close friends Jamal Edwards and Shane Warne.
  • He was in court over a “Shape of You” copyright claim that he later won, but he says the case felt insignificant beside those personal shocks.
