Ed Sheeran is a married man! In his new song "Remember the Name," featuring Eminem [1] and 50 Cent, the 28-year-old singer finally confirms that he and longtime love Cherry Seaborn [2], 27, tied the knot. Within the first 30 seconds, Sheeran makes a cheeky reference to his spouse, crooning, "My wife wears red, but looks better without the lipstick." The longtime couple [3] — who were recently spotted kissing in Ibiza [4] — began dating in September 2015 and got engaged in January 2018 [5].
In a new interview with Charlamagne tha God, Sheeran opened up about how he hoped to keep their wedding a secret [6] before "Remember the Name" was released as a part of his album No.6 Collaborations Project [7]. But news of their nuptials [8] eventually got out, though he never officially confirmed it until recently. "I knew that we'd be married by the point that the song came out," Sheeran said. "So I said, 'Watch how the lyrics in this song might get twisted/My wife wears red but looks better without the lipstick,' And I was like 'cause someone's going to hear that and be like, 'Oh they're married,' and I didn't know how that would be. But, obviously, it's already come out."
Although Sheeran's marriage announcement/song lyric didn't go exactly as planned, we're still blessed with a new LP that features a ton of bangers, presumably inspired by Sheeran and Seaborn's love (i.e., "Cross Me" [9] and "BLOW" [10]). Ahead, listen to "Remember the Name" before watching Sheeran talk more about his latest album, which is out now [11]!
