Ed Sheeran might be one of the biggest names in music, but when it comes to raising his children, he’s determined to keep things simple. The Grammy-winning artist recently opened up about why he and wife Cherry Seaborn don’t want their daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, growing up with too much luxury.
Keeping things real at home
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sheeran revealed that Cherry plays a major role in helping the family stay grounded. He admitted that while he sometimes gets carried away with extravagant ideas, Cherry always brings him back down to earth.
“She’s like a voice of reason,?Sheeran said, recalling how she keeps their lifestyle in check. “Anytime I’m like ‘We should do this,?she’s like, ‘Why would we do that?’?br/>
No bowling alleys or fast food fantasies
One idea Sheeran had was to build a bowling alley in their garden ?but Cherry wasn’t having it. “She was like, ‘No. We do not need a bowling alley,’?he said.
He also joked about how Cherry stopped their house from turning into something out of Richie Rich, the 90s film about a super-rich kid with a McDonald's in his backyard. “She’s very much like, ‘We’re not gonna do that,’?Sheeran added, saying they both want their girls to grow up appreciating the real world.
A little luxury for himself
That said, Sheeran hasn’t denied himself a few personal luxuries. He shared that he’s added a pub, a cinema, and a recording studio to their property. The idea behind the pub came when he realised he could no longer relax at his local one without being recognised.
“I bought a barn and turned it into a pub,?he explained, adding that he found the bar counter and other gear on eBay. He even built a tunnel connecting the pub to the main house. “There’s a listening room and a cinema down there too ?it’s kind of like my man catacombs.?br/>Staying grounded for the kids
Despite these indulgences, Sheeran made it clear that when it comes to his daughters, he wants them to have a normal upbringing. “I don’t want them to grow up spoiled,?he said.
He also reflected on fatherhood in an earlier chat on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he said, “Music used to be everything, and now it’s secondary. Being a dad gives you real purpose.?br/>
