Ed and Cherry were childhood sweethearts but went their separate ways before rekindling their romance in 2014. They went on to tie the knot in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Lyra Antarctica, in September 2020.

Although the pair are happily married, Ed revealed last year that his proposal almost didn't happen, despite him pulling out all the stops for it.
The Bad Habits singer had planned a big romantic gesture in their garden, building a homemade structure where he was hoping to get down on one knee at sunset, but the weather almost put a damper on his idea.
On the Swedish talk show Skavlan, Ed explained: "On the day it was [expletive] down with rain and I'd built a pergola at the end of the garden to do it. Sunset, pergola, some wine... and it was [expletive] down with rain.

"I kept saying, 'We should go for a walk', and she was like, 'No!' I was like, 'Are you sure you don't want to go for a walk?'"
He added that he delayed the proposal for a few hours but eventually popped the question at 9pm in the evening. "Time was ticking," he said. "There was a date engraved on the ring and I was like, 'I've got to do it today!'
"I was getting down on one knee and I said, 'Will you marry me?' And she was like, 'Are you [expletive] joking?' There was this long silence, and I just went, 'Please?' It is the most human I have ever felt."
