Sometimes you just know when you’re ready for parenthood, and that seems to be the case for Ed Sheeran who recently revealed that he wanted to become a dad since ‘like, last year’.
“I'm ready, let's go - tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around.”
The artist, who only recently came back into our lives after a year out of the music game, told the exciting news to Zane Lowe during an interview on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio.
Speaking about his girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn - whom he has known since school – the 25-year-old said “This has been the first time I've ever actually had the time to fall in love properly.
“I've always got into relationships very passionately - I'm a redhead and also Irish.
“But then I will get in a relationship and go on tour for 18 months and everything will **** up.
“And I'm like, 'Oh, what happened?' But it's because I had no time to put into someone.
“I'm ready, let's go - tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around.”When questioned about if he was excited to become a father in the future, the singer said he was 'massively' ready.
He said: "Massively, yeah. I wanted to be a dad, like, last year.
“I'm ready, let's go - tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around.”
Ed then went on to explain that when the time comes to have a baby, that would take priority and he'll be taking an 'extended break'.
"When [my child] hits four or five and starts primary school, I'm just out. I think [Bruce] Springsteen took an extended break when his kids went to school.
“I think that's going to be me.
"I want to set up a little studio in the countryside and have new artists come down," he said.
In December 2015, Ed announced that he was ‘taking a break…to travel the world and see everything I missed’.
His year-long break followed on from the success of his second album 'X', which gave us the likes of Sing, Don’t and Thinking Out Loud.
And earlier this year, on Friday January 6, after a year of no social media communication, he gave his fans a very warm hello by posting a video on Twitter in which he is seen waving to fans whilst holding a piece of paper with the words, “New music coming Friday!!” written on it.
