Ed Sheeran has 'married his fiancée Cherry Seaborn in a low-key ceremony'.

The Shape Of You hitmaker, 28, tied the knot with his childhood friend, 26, just before Christmas, in a ceremony which saw just 40 close friends and family in attendance, according to The Sun.

This comes just a year after Ed had denied that he and Cherry had tied the knot, after he was questioned about a new ring that had appeared on his wedding finger.

A source said:

Ed got married a few days before Christmas. It was very quiet – just Ed's oldest school pals, limited family and the priest.

'There were only 40 people – so no Taylor Swift, record company executives or any royals or pop star pals. He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them – just a tiny winter wedding. 

'Neither of them were that fussed about making a big deal about it. Cherry just wanted to get it out of the way without any problems or intrusions.'

Band member Piers Aggett told the Daily Star:

We did get an invite to the wedding and I am looking forward to it. He had to invite us after we said we'll crash it, we'll have a drink with him and celebrate his amazing day.

Back in August, Ed was forced to deny claims that he had married Cherry, during an interview with Access where he sported a new ring on his wedding finger.
