Ed Sheeran gets real about marriage and family in new album
Ed Sheeran is getting personal in the deluxe edition of his album "Play," out September 2025.
Across 13 new tracks, he opens up about tough times with his wife Cherry Seaborn, especially with the pressures of his Mathematics World Tour.
In "Problems," Sheeran uses the image of a drying garden to talk about issues they're working through together.
Songs touch on change, guilt, and life behind closed doors
Tracks like "War Game" dive into the stress that comes with big life changes, while "Regrets" sees Sheeran admitting he feels guilty for missing moments with his daughters because of touring.
Fans also get a peek into his long-running relationship with Seaborn—they've known each other since childhood, started dating in 2015, married in late 2018, and now have two daughters: Lyra Antarctica and Jupiter.
The album gives a rare look at how Sheeran tries to balance fame with family life.
