Ed Sheeran and his partner Cherry Seaborn have become parents for the first time! The news was given by the singer himself on social networks, where he wrote that they feel as if they are above the clouds. Sheeran has also revealed the baby girl's name, Lyra Antarctica.
"Hello! A quick message from me as I have some personal news I wanted to share with you ... Last week, with the help of a great team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter - Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran. We are completely in love with him. The mother and baby are very well and we are in the ninth heaven. We hope that at this time you can respect our privacy. "A lot of love and we will meet again when the time comes to come back, Ed x", the singer wrote.

We do not know exactly why Ed and Cherry chose to call their daughter exactly that, but the name Lyra is a name of Greek origin. Lyra is a constellation name derived from the lyra of Orpheus. It features the Vega star and would be a melodic choice for a parent interested in astronomy, mythology or music, like Ed's work. So that could be a big reason.
Now we are waiting for the first picture of the new family, but given how reserved Ed is, we think we will have to wait a long time.
