Title: Ed Sheeran Opens Up About Maintaining Privacy for His Kids Amidst Fame
Ed Sheeran openly discusses his attempts to keep his children's images private
The renowned 34-year-old pop sensation, Ed Sheeran, has shed light on his choice to keep his children's images concealed from the public eye. In a recent interview for The Louis Theroux Podcast, Sheeran expressed his concerns about the constant intrusion that comes with fame.
Ed, who shares daughters Lyra (4) and Jupiter (2) with his wife Cherry Seaborn, highlighted the struggles of living a public life while trying to provide a normal upbringing for his children. He noted, "I'm very, very private about my children's image... There are times where the normal parts of life I kind of mourn for and wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird, you know?"
Sheeran sees his children as evading the pitfalls of fame, commenting, "People go, well that's the trade-off. But my kids have not signed up to that." Yet, he concedes that it's difficult to completely insulate them from the glare of publicity.
One such instance where Sheeran's attempt to keep a low-profile was compromised happened during a flight. Despite his preference for environmentally-friendly commercial flights, the star admitted, "We were flying back on Ryanair from a gig in Italy last year, but all of my fans who'd been at the gig were flying back!"
While Sheeran's career peaked with the release of his Divide album in 2017, he claimed to feel much happier now. He attributes his current contentment to the balance he's achieved between his personal and professional life, stating, "I don't know if I'll ever get back up there again, but [when I had] that level of fame, that was my unhappiest [time]."
Ed Sheeran has admitted that fame can sometimes make him feel like a "zoo animal," longing for a sense of normalcy. In an earlier interview with The Sun newspaper, he remarked, "You feel like a zoo animal. I don't mean to complain, I have a cool job and life. But I just want to avoid that."
