During a recent interview for his upcoming music documentary Songwriter, the Grammy-winning superstar shied away from answering questions related to his wedding. Instead, he gestured to a silver ring on his left hand, where wedding bands are traditionally worn.

“Alright! That’s exciting!” the interviewer told a smiling Sheeran. “Congratulations, my friend. How did you sneak that one?” To this, Sheeran replied, “Well, I never really do anything too public anyway.” After being congratulated again, the Shape of You hit maker thanked the interviewer.

In another interview, although the 27-year-old did not confirm or deny his marriage but discussed the idea of what he would want in his wedding, explaining his preference for something intimate. “I don’t like large groups of people at the best of times so I never wanted a wedding that was lots of people.”

Sheeran went on to praise the “good vibe” that comes from simple ceremonies. He also said he would want to have an “unknown” singer perform at the affair to give himself — and his famous friends in the crowd — the night off.

Sheeran and Seaborn’s story started back in the day, at school, when he was 11. However, it became a love story during the summer of 2015, when they went on their first date at Taylor Swift’s annual Fourth of July party.

“I went to Taylor’s 4th of July party. I was texting [Seaborn] and she was like, ‘I’m in Rhode Island at a 4th of July party,’ and I was like, ‘So am I.’ Then I kind of said to Taylor, ‘Can I invite one of my old schoolmates?’ The rest is history,” he shared previously.

Divulging further details, Sheeran revealed, “This has been the first time I’ve actually had the time to fall in love properly. I’ve never been happier. I’ve never been more comfortable. I’ve never been more inspired. I feel like everything’s fallen into place.”
