Ed loves his Irish connections, and he has now shared that his best friend and Irish Snow Patrol star Johnny McDaid is the Godfather to his daughter.

McDaid is the longterm boyfriend of Friends star Courteney Cox, and it turns out the couple actually have Ed to thank for their introduction!

Speaking on The Hits Radio Breakfast Show with Fleur East Sheeran said, “I introduced [Courteney] to my best mate Johnny, who I wrote Shape Of You and Bad Habits with… he’s also godfather to Lyra, but yeah, I introduced them like nine years ago.

“She just invited me round her house and I just kept going round and then one day I brought Johnny and he didn’t come home.”

What a cute story, this also explains why we see so much of Courteney and Ed together!

Ed’s daughter named Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran was born last August and Ed explained her middle name with a sweet story, “Me and Cherry always wanted to go to Antarctica, it was always on our list…So we went there and it’s just an amazing place, it’s really special to us, and obviously we got home and Cherry was pregnant”.

Ed is working on new music and has released his first solo single in four years named Bad Habits, Although he told followers the vampire makeup in his new music video wasn’t all fun and games captioning an Instagram picture, “The nails were a nightmare to try and take a p*ss with. Wouldn’t recommend”.

Love that for him.
