Ed Sheeran ‘hints at marriage issues’ with wife Cherry Seaborn on new song with cryptic lyrics about being ‘destructive’
Ed Sheeran has reportedly hinted at marriage issues with his wife Cherry Seaborn in the lyrics of his new album.
The singer’s new album Autumn Variations, which was released on Friday, appears to suggest their relationship was on the rocks at one point, with one song even hinting that his wife ‘may have called time on their relationship.’
Ed, who recently took to the streets of New York to plug his seventh record, released a song called Punchline about an imploding romance.
The lyrics, seen by The Sun, read: ‘I can’t help but be destructive right now. It’s been weeks since I saw your outline.
‘In my room is a silence so loud. This is what losing hope might sound like.’

During the emotional chorus, it continued: ‘I can’t help it but I love you so. I can’t take this letting go. I still feel like we could work it out or something.
‘All I am is only flesh and bone. Why’s your heart so freezing cold?’
Ed, 32, and Cherry, 31, who have been together since 2015, tied the knot in 2019.
The couple are parents to daughters Jupiter, 15 months, and Lyra, two.
In another track, Ed detailed their ‘bumpy road’, and stressed in the song that it is ‘not the end of our lives’.
He sings: ‘This is not the end of our lives, this is just a bump in the ride. I know that it’ll be alright.’
In the song The Day I Was Born, he sings: ‘I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago, if they were here then I guess I wouldn’t be alone.’
However, the album is unclear which songs have been written from Ed’s personal experiences as he has previously spoken about the album being about both his and his friend’s lives.
MailOnline have contacted Ed’s representatives for a comment.

He’s back: The singer’s seventh album and the first by his own record label, Gingerbread Man Records, released on September 29
His words: The album will focus on a range of emotions including heartbreak, depression, loneliness and confusion
This is Ed’s first album by his own record label Gingerbread Man, and ahead of hitting the charts he decided to gain a few extra fans by holding up a cardboard placard with the words ‘Autumn is here’ as he filmed in the Big Apple.
Ed, who has had 14 number one hits in the UK, previously spoke about his album.
The musician explained in Autumn 2022 everything appeared to either be calm and settled or fell apart and imploded for all his friends, he said: ‘When I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on.
‘When I learned about my friend’s different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time.’
The album will focus on a range of emotions including heartbreak, depression, loneliness and confusion.
It is inspired by Enigma Variations by Elgar who created 14 compositions based on 14 friends, so Ed decided to do the same thing alongside Aaron Dessner who worked closely with Ed on Subtract.
‘We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership.
‘I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.’
