Ed Sheeranis nearing the end of his two-week quarantine after having COVID.
Speaking toHoward Sternon his SiriusXM show, the 30-year-old singer — who is vaccinated for the coronavirus — revealed that he contracted COVID while his wifeCherry Seabornwas away — and that their 15-month-old daughter Lyra was infected too.
“My wife was away, so, I was there with my daughter … She had it, too, so it was kind of heavy,” he told Stern, adding that three days were “really bad.”
“It’s quite an odd thing getting [COVID-19] and then having to announce it to the world … I’m still sort of being treated [like I have it],” Sheeran said. “I didn’t really want to announce it to everyone, but I had to cancel three big things in England and I didn’t want to be rude.”
The singer said that as soon as he got a cold, he started to get tested “every single day.”
