The singer announced that he and Cherry were engaged in January 2018, and they reportedly tied the knot in December of the same year. The couple had a small wedding attended only by close family and friends. A source told The Sun at the time, “He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them — just a tiny winter wedding.”

Athina Andrelos

Ed and Athina dated for almost a year back in 2014. They met when she worked as a tour manager for his opening act, and quickly became couple goals — posting a bunch of adorable PDA-filled pictures together on Instagram.

It’s still unclear what went wrong between them or why they ultimately split, but in March 2015 the Grammy Award winning artist confirmed that the relationship was over when he revealed in an interview that he was single. It’s believed that his song “Thinking Out Loud” was inspired by their romance!

Barbara Palvin

Days after he revealed he had split from Athina, Ed was spotted partying with Barbara. The two stars were photographed leaving a London nightclub together, fueling speculation that something was going on between them. Neither of them ever spoke out about the relationship and that was the last time they were seen together, so it’s still unclear whether or not they ever dated or if they were just hanging out as friends.

Nicole Scherzinger

Rumors started to spread that Ed and Nicole were dating after she made a surprise appearance at one of his shows. They even posted a bunch of flirty photos together on social media.

A source told Heat magazine at the time, “Ed’s a man of simple pleasures. After the gig, he ordered Pizza Express takeaway for him and Nicole and they drank supermarket brand vodka mixed with Fruit And Barley squash. It doesn’t sound like much but she loved it.”

The Pussycat Dolls singer later squashed these rumors, telling The Huffington Post that she and Ed had played up the romance just for fun.

“Ed and I are good mates, so we decided to just have fun and take the mic,” she said. “We thought it was quite clever of us. I thought of it all on my own.”

Ellie Goulding

Fans practically lost it when Ed and Ellie were spotted holding hands at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Although the blonde beauty denied the romance at the time, writing in a now-deleted tweet, “I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater.” But Ed later revealed that they did indeed have a brief romance.

“I mean, normal people don’t hold hands if they’re just friends,” he said. “It was going on. And now it’s not.”

It’s widely believed that the singer wrote the song “Don’t” about the relationship, and that Ellie ultimately cheated on him with Niall Horan — but that’s all speculation.

Nina Nesbitt

Ed and Nina had a brief romance back in 2012. The Scottish singer toured with Ed and starred in his “Drunk” music video, but based on the lyrics to his song “Nina,” their busy schedules led to their split in the end.

“Oh, Nina / You should go, Nina / ‘Cause I ain’t never coming home, Nina / Oh, won’t you leave me now?” the read. “I’ve been living on the road, Nina / But then again you should know, Nina / ‘Cause that’s you and me both, Nina / Oh, won’t you leave me now?”

It was also rumored that Ed’s track “Photograph” was about the whirlwind relationship.
