Ed confirmed his marriage to Cherry, 28, in July 2019 during an interview to promote his album, No 6 Collaborations Project.
During the interview, the presenter asked the Perfect singer about the lyrics in his song Remember the Name, in which he sings: "Watch how the lyrics in this song might get twisted / My wife wears red but looks better without the lipstick."

"It was actually before me and Cherry got married and I knew that we'd be married by the point that the song came out," the 29-year-old said.
“[I thought] Someone's gonna hear that and be like: 'Oh, they're married!' I didn't know how that would be construed, but obviously it's already come out."
Ed and Cherry were childhood friends and both went to Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk. It's thought Ed had always had a crush on Cherry, but she left to go to university in America making a romance between the pair tricky. They eventually started dating in 2015, with Ed popping the question in January 2018.
