When Ed Sheeran describes the week his wife received her cancer diagnosis, he doesn't mince words. It was, he says, "probably the worst week" of his life, and that's saying something for a man who lost two close friends and fought a high-profile lawsuit all in the same brutal stretch of 2022.
Now, four years later, the Grammy-winning singer is finally ready to talk about it — and what he has to say will bring fans relief.
"She was pregnant at the time, which is why it was difficult," Sheeran, 35, said on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. "She had the operation to remove the tumor after she'd given birth to our second child. Thankfully, touch wood, totally fine."
Cherry Seaborn, 32, was diagnosed with a tumor in early 2022 while pregnant with the couple's second daughter,Jupiter Seaborn Sheeran, now 3. Because doctors couldn't safely proceed with treatment during the pregnancy, Cherry had to wait to have surgery, a delay that made an already terrifying situation even harder to bear.
The timing couldn't have been worse. "That was probably the worst day," Sheeran recalled on the podcast. "Probably the worst week, because Jamal died that week as well, and then we went straight into the court case."
He was referring to the February 2022 death of his close friendJamal Edwards, the beloved British music entrepreneur. The "Shape of You" copyright lawsuit was unfolding simultaneously. Sheeran also lost friend and cricket legend Shane Warne, who died in March of that year.
"It was really scary," he said.
From the Documentary to Today
Sheeran first hinted publicly at Cherry's diagnosis in his 2023 Disney+ documentary Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All, where viewers saw him break down in tears discussing the year that nearly broke him. The series showed him processing profound grief, personal fear, and public scrutiny all at once; a portrait of a superstar quietly falling apart at home while still performing stadiums.
Now, more than two years after that documentary aired, the couple appears to have found steadier ground. In addition to Jupiter, they share daughter Lyra Antarctica Sheeran, 5.
A Family Moving Forward
Sheeran has largely kept Cherry out of the public eye since her diagnosis, and his latest comments suggest that privacy was — and remains — a deliberate choice. Still, today's candid update is likely to bring relief to the millions of fans who followed the story closely and have been quietly rooting for her recovery.
For a man who has built his career on writing through the hardest emotions, the simplest possible words may be the most powerful ones he's delivered yet: "totally fine."
