Ed Sheeran looks every inch the doting father as during beach day with wife Cherry in Australia

Ed Sheeran looked every inch the doting father as he was seen enjoying a family day out at the beach with his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two kids in Australia.

The singer, 32, is currently Down Under as part of his hotly-anticipated world tour but took some time out of his busy schedule to head to Byron Bay with his family.

He was seen sweetly cuddling up to his eldest daughter Lyra Antarctica, two, as they relaxed under a parasol with his wife Cherry, 30, amid the balmy weather.

Cherry was also seen doting on their younger daughter Jupiter, nine months, as they enjoyed some down time together as a family.

For the outing, Ed kept it casual in bright blue boardshorts and a green long-sleeved rash vest, which he wore to go for a quick dip in the ocean to cool off.

Changing to lounge on the beach, Cherry showed off her incredible figure in a peach bikini top and blue shorts as she doted on her two daughters.

He took to Instagram at the time to announce the surprising news, sharing a picture of a white pair of baby booties.

Captioning his snap, Ed penned: ‘Want to let you all know we’ve had another beautiful baby girl. We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4.’

The couple are also parents to Lyra Antarctica, whom they welcomed in August 2020.

In November 2021, Ed revealed having his daughter Lyra Antarctica was a ‘blessing’ and a ‘miracle’ after struggling to conceive with his wife Cherry.

The singer told how the couple had booked doctors appointments to check everything was okay after ‘trying to have a kid for a while’.

They then welcomed their first child last August, after conceiving naturally during a holiday in 2019 to Antarctica – which inspired the unusual name.   

He told US radio’s The Breakfast Club: ‘We had tried for a while to have a kid, and we’d started going to doctors and figuring out what was up. I did think it was a miracle, so that’s why I was like, we should have this in the name.’

Ed and Cherry are childhood sweethearts, having grown up together in the same town. 

They rekindled their romance in 2014 and tied the knot in a small ceremony five years later.

Their family trip to Australia comes after Ed started his + – = ÷ x Tour – also known as The Mathematics Tour – on February 17 in Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

This will be followed by concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Budjerah Slabb will be supporting Ed during the Australian leg of his world tour.

During his visit Down Under, Ed was seen enjoying a beer with his pal Liam Hemsworth as he celebrated his 32nd birthday.

The Shape of You singer’s friend Paul Berrie O’Brien’s shared an Instagram snap of the trio behind the scenes as they enjoyed some beers.

‘Showtime. Couple of pre-show settlers. Happy birthday @teddysphotos’, he captioned the snap.

Ed also paid a surprise visit to Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane on Sunday and kindly played his music for the children, much to their delight.

He also thrilled students at two middle schools last week when he gave a surprise performance for the youngsters in Auckland, New Zealand. 

The pop star made stops at both Manurewa Intermediate and Kōwhai Intermediate schools to give students and staff a free concert.

Manurewa School shared a photo of Ed belting out his hits to their packed assembly room and thanked the Shape of You hitmaker for visiting them.

‘Such an unreal moment to have a special performance from Ed Sheeran at MI today! WOW!’ the school wrote alongside the image.

‘Someone who embodies our vision statement of being adventurous, a risk-taker, persistent and focused.’

Several parents commented that Ed’s unexpected performance was the highlight of their child’s day.

One parent gushed, ‘my son was so pumped and couldn’t stop going on about it’, while another said, ‘this absolutely made my girls year’.
