Sheeran said he shaved his head to signify "a fresh start" and is thinking of keeping the look. His album Play was released in September 2025 and he is mid‑Loop Tour, which began in January and runs through December. After a two-month break he will restart the tour at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo, kicking off the Latin America leg, and wrote he can't wait to get back on stage.
He also shared a family update: his wife, Cherry Seaborn, had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor after the birth of their second child and, he said, is fine. The couple have two daughters, Lyra, 5, and Jupiter, 3.
