Ed Sheeran has shared a rare photo with his wife Cherry Seaborn for her 30th birthday.
The Shape of You singer posted a sweet snap of him cuddling up to Cherry in a hammock on a sunny day.
Cherry is seen looking lovingly at childhood sweetheart Ed as she holds a bottle of what looks like beer.
Sharing the photo on Instagram with his 38 million followers, Ed wrote: “HBD to ma baby mama. 30 looks good on you.”
Fans were quick to comment on the post with many branding the couple “adorable” and “cute”.
Another wrote: “Awww what a sweet picture.”

Although Ed is famous around the world, he remains incredibly private when it comes to his personal life.
The 31-year-old superstar met Cherry when the pair went to the Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk as teenagers.
Flame-haired Ed is said to have had a crush on his pretty classmate back then, but nothing happened as Cherry went to America to do a degree in molecular biology.
After being rocketed to superstardom when his first album was released, Ed decided to take some time out to come to terms with being a celebrity.
In 2015, he reached out to his old schoolfriend Cherry, who was delighted to hear from him.
The pair were soon spotted hanging out together in the States and being photographed at baseball games and other coupley days out.
When things turned romantic, they decided to travel the world together – and Cherry quit her job to be with Ed.
Writing on Instagram at the time, Ed said: “I’ve had such an amazing ride over the last five years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes, so I’m taking the opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed.”
He later said of their early days as a couple: “This has been the first time I’ve ever actually had the time to fall in love properly. I’ve always got into relationships very passionately – I’m a redhead and also Irish.”
In January 2018, Ed announced he'd secretly popped the question to Cherry over the Christmas holidays.
Announcing the news in a loved-up Instagram post, he wrote: "Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx."
Ed and Cherry later tied the knot in secret, shunning a big celebrity wedding in favour of a small ceremony with just a handful of family and friends.
Revealing all to Jessie Ware on her Table Manners podcast, Ed said: “Mine and Cherry’s actual wedding was a tiny affair with hardly anyone there.
“We did it at night, on a random day in the middle of January, in the middle of nowhere.
"No one knew, no one came to it. We lit candles and we got married, went back and had a curry.”
The couple have since welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Lyra Antarctica, who was born in September 2020.
