Ed Sheeran’s wife Cherry Seaborn opens up about her cancer diagnosis.
In the first part of docuseries Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All, Cherry makes a rare appearance alongside her husband to share her story and why she felt it was important to speak publicly about it.
“I got diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year which was a massive s—ter,” she says of the year 2022. “It made me massively reflect on our mortality. I would never agree to do anything like this but it made me think, ‘Oh if I died, what’s people’s perception of me? What do you leave behind?'”
The doting mother adds: “For Ed, the whole point is he wants to say to people, ‘I’m not just this music machine. I’m not just this robot that tries to get No. 1. I’m a father, I’m a son, I’m a friend.’ It wasn’t until this year when I was like, ‘I might die.'”
Ed, who pens many songs from personal experiences, revealed he wrote seven songs in four hours to cope with the pain he felt for Cherry.

His feelings about her cancer diagnosis, as well as the shocking death of his close friend Jamal Edwards, are both believed to be reflected in his album “Subtract” (also written as “-“), which comes out on May 5, 2023.

Does Ed Sheeran’s wife Cherry Seaborn still have cancer?
In March 2023, The U.S. Sun reported that Cherry was “on the mend” after having the tumor operated on.
It is believed that the tumor was removed, but it is unknown if she is in remission. Because Cherry was pregnant when she received her cancer diagnosis, this delayed her treatment.
As an insider told the outlet: “The tumor came as a huge shock, and the fact they couldn’t operate straight away was hugely concerning and scary.” However, since Jupiter’s birth, “Cherry has now received the treatment needed and is recovering well.”
That’s wonderful news to hear! Sending our love to Ed and his family.
