Sheeran can clearly be seen wearing the ring in a fan-captured video, which has sparked rumors that he’s already tied the knot with his fiance, Cherry Seaborn. During the show, Ed told the audience how much he’s been enjoying domestic bliss with Cherry. “I find myself getting really excited about kitchen appliances now,” he joked.
