He and his missus, Cherry Seaborn, welcomed baby number two in May last year.
She joined older sister Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, two, was born in September 2020.

During her most recent pregnancy, Cherry was diagnosed with a tumour which she couldn't have treated until after she'd given birth.
Thankfully, she underwent a successful operation in June and is now on the mend.
Earlier this month, the 'Shape of You' singer opened up about the grief he had been suffering from last year and how it has inspired his new album, Subtract.
Sheeran wrote on Instagram: "I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be.
"Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art."
While it seems that the family of four are now in a better place after the birth of their baby girl, there's no doubt Ed and Sherry seem to have got her name right.
Rolling Stone revealed the couple have named their new baby Jupiter.
During his interview with the music magazine, Sheeran revealed he wears a silver chain with the names of his two children engraved on the inside, which was gifted to him by Cherry.
It replaced a rubber bracelet from his friend Jamal Edwards' funeral and another bearing the slogan 'don't f*** up' from his late friend Michael Gudinski.
On making the switch, Sheeran said: "It felt symbolic to take off those bracelets and put on one for my family."
Edwards passed away in February 2022 from a cardiac arrhythmia brought on by cocaine use, in the same month that Cherry was diagnosed with the tumour.
Sheeran said: “People assumed that we were lovers.
“But we’re brothers in arms.
“That was a big rumour in the industry.
“And I don’t think anyone thought that I knew the rumour. But I get it, man. I lived in his room!”
“You feel so powerless,” he added. “My best friend died.
“And he shouldn’t have done. I’ve always had real lows in my life.
“But it wasn’t really till last year that I actually addressed it.”
Another good friend of Sheeran's, Australian cricket star Shane Warne, also passed away in early March.
He said: “I felt like I didn’t want to live anymore.
“And I have had that throughout my life.… You’re under the waves drowning. You’re just sort of in this thing. And you can’t get out of it.”
