Ed Sheeran has set the record straight after whispers swirled that the singer-songwriter was planning to trade his English countryside roots for a permanent life in America.
Speculation spread quickly online after several outlets claimed Sheeran was “moving to the U.S. for good.” Some went further, framing it as a rejection of his life in Suffolk, where he famously built his sprawling estate, nicknamed “Sheeranville.”
But Sheeran, never one to let a false story spiral too far, pushed back, clarifying that while he spends plenty of time in America for touring, collaborations, and family visits, England is — and will remain — his home base.
“People like to twist things,” Sheeran said in a recent interview. “Yes, I love spending time in the States, but I’m not moving away from England. That’s where my family is, that’s where I belong.”
The 33-year-old artist emphasized that his life is firmly planted in the U.K., where he raises his two young daughters with wife Cherry Seaborn. His deep ties to his community — from local charities to surprising fans at small-town pubs — underscore that commitment.
In the post the musician wrote: ‘Way easier to clear up stuff on here so here’s me setting record straight, coz there’s deffo a narrative press are trying to push that people wanna move out of UK for some reason.
‘I’m not moving, I’m going on tour with my family and relocating to the continent I’m touring on, don’t wanna commute from London to San Diego obvz.’
The misreporting highlights a familiar pattern for global stars: every career move can be exaggerated into a supposed life overhaul. For Sheeran, whose public image is rooted in authenticity, setting the record straight felt necessary.
“I don’t see why you can’t have both,” he added. “I can travel, play music all over the world, but still go home to Suffolk. That balance is important to me.”
For fans, it’s reassuring news. Sheeran isn’t packing up Sheeranville any time soon — he’s just doing what he’s always done: writing songs, traveling the globe, and returning home when the lights go down.
