This pop superstar and his childhood friend turned wife have a long and epic love story. But no couple is just pure perfection, and no lasting relationship is without its share of quirks. Here are some of the strangest details about Ed Sheeran's marriage.

Ed Sheeran and his now-wife, Cherry Seaborn, met in their hometown of Suffolk, England, when the singer was just 11 years old. They were both students at Thomas Mills High School as teens and Sheeran has since admitted to crushing on Seaborn even back then, but he never got the chance to act on those feelings when they were classmates. The future-spouses went their separate ways when Seaborn moved to the United States to attend Duke University in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Sheeran, of course, focused on growing his music career. A source told British magazine Heat in 2015,

"There was always something there between them. Ed had a crush on Cherry at school, but she had a boyfriend then. I don't think Ed wants to date another celebrity again, having been burned too many times, and Cherry is definitely his type."

Sheeran's 2017 song "Castle on the Hill" is about his teen years, and the music video features a young cast clearly meant to mirror the group of friends Sheeran grew up with. The red headed lead has a cute blonde love interest who could be interpreted to represent a younger version of Seaborn.
