ED SHEERAN is married with a kid, but he’ll be the first to admit he’s not the manliest guy out there. In fact, there was a time when he questioned his sexuality.
On a recent podcast, he said “I’m not a hugely masculine person. I have a definite feminine side to the point where, when I was a kid, I thought I was gay for a bit.
“I love musical theatre, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears. My masculine side probably stops at drinking beer and watching football.”
Ed says his wife Cherry Seaborn is “super pro-women and femininity.” She also has a high-powered job and she plays on a female hockey team so there was already a pretty heavy “women empowerment” vibe in the home, but since his daughter Lyra was born it’s “even more that.”
(These comments come from a Dutch podcast you can listen to here . . . from 25:52 to 27:10. This section is clean, but there’s profanity elsewhere in the podcast.)
