After appearing inEd Sheeran’s new Disney+ docuseriesThe Sum of It All, his wifeCherry Seabornis looking to maintain her private life.
In a new interview withThe Elvis Duran Morning Showon Friday, the British singer-songwriter said Seaborn doesn’t necessarily want to live her life in the public eye — despite being married to an international superstar.
“Cherry sort of touches on it in the documentary, and we’ve talked about this a lot, whether we can close the door after we’ve opened it a little bit,” Sheeran, 32, told hostElvis Duran. “She’s always been a private person. She’s never had a public Instagram. She’s never done a red carpet with me. We’ve always been super private. Our private life is our private life.”
Released earlier this week,Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It Allgives viewers a glimpse into the musician’s private life and struggles, including Seaborn’s cancer diagnosis and thedeath of his best friendJamal Edwards.

“I think it was, and this is how I got my parents to be in it as well, losing Jamal was one of these things that will always live with me,” he explained to Duran of why Seaborn, 30, participated in the series. “I think the thing that’s comforted me and Jamal has been pictures and footage and documentation of our relationship over the time that we knew each other.”
Sheeran said he hopesThe Sum of It Allwill have a positive impact on their daughters,Lyra Antarctica, 2½, and Jupiter, 1. “I think that for my kids to look back in 40 years and see their parents in love, going through life or their grandparents, I think there’s something in that,” he said in the radio interview.
The “Shivers” hitmaker then opened up about how Seaborn’s dealing with attention from the documentary. “She’s trying to just block it out and ignore it, I think,” he explained. “Everyone kind of respects that, I think, the door is closed again now ‘cause she’s not someone that you’re suddenly going to see pop up on a panel show here and doing this and doing that.”
Shortly after the documentary dropped, Sheeran released his new album-(pronounced “subtract”). During the interview with Duran, he spoke about how the projects complement each other.
“Within the context of the record, the documentary makes sense, and I’m really happy that people are connecting with it. The thing that I love about it as well is no one’s listening to the record or watching the documentary and getting sad,” he said.
