Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn welcomed their second daughter back in May and only just revealed her name is Jupiter – and now the story of her conception has been leaked.
The 31-year-old Lego House singer and his 30-year-old wife are proud parents to two children – with their first daughter, Lyra, arriving back in 2020.
While the first daughter was named after a fictional character from the His Dark Materials book series, the second one has been named after a planet and ancient Roman god.
Ed and Cherry opted to call their second daughter Jupiter – and it seems this is in part because they got intimate while the planet was beaming down upon them.
A close friend of the couple told The Sun: “Ed installed an observatory in the garden of their place in Suffolk and is really into star-gazing.
“Around the same time Jupiter was conceived, the planet was visible from Earth and it was a really special time.
“Ed and Cherry both thought it was apt when she fell pregnant that Jupiter should be her name. They love the name, both in terms of what it stands for and its uniqueness.”
Jupiter is the fifth planet in the solar system – and is also the largest.
The planet was first discovered by the ancient astronomer Galileo Galilei back in 1610, and was named after the king of the Roman gods, Jupiter, due to being the biggest planet in the system.
The ancient Roman god was similar to the Greek god Zeus, with Jupiter being the god of the sky, and would smite enemies with lightning bolts.
Ed and Cherry announced the arrival of their second daughter on Tuesday after secretly welcoming her together earlier in the year.
Ed shared the happy news via his social media channels.
He wrote online: "Want to let you all know we’ve had another beautiful baby girl. We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x".
Ed has previously gushed about fatherhood.
He described the experience as "the best thing that’s ever happened to me" in a Sirius XM interview in June.
He explained: “There’s so many different sides and shades to it. There’s difficult days, there’s amazing, easy days, it’s just a roller coaster of emotions."
He went on to note how being a dad has changed his approach to work, saying: "I’m very structured with my day now...usually, if I was in the studio, I would just kind of work until it was done."
The Bad Habits singer he says he goes into work at 9 a.m. and leaves at 5 p.m.
