Awk..ward!

Ed Sheeran is setting the record straight. After reports that he is engaged to his girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn, the singer has clarified their relationship status.

The rumor mill started thanks to a comment by Ed’s buddy, Russell Crowe. During a recent Facebook Live chat, the actor referred to Cherry as Ed’s fiancée. He said:

“[Ed] was on tour here and he was getting a bit burned out, so he came up and stayed at the farm for a couple of days to get some sleep and then we became conversational mates. He has subsequently gone back to the farm with his fiancée for more time.”

When asked about the supposed engagement on Australia’s Fitzy & Wippa radio show on Tuesday, Ed explained that it was simply a misunderstanding. He said:

“You know, he’s only met Cherry once and I didn’t introduce her. I didn’t say anything. I think he just assumed. But no, we’re not engaged.”

The “Shape of You” singer added, “He emailed me to say sorry.”

We forgive you, Russell!
