"We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x."

Sheeran, 31, didn't say when the baby was born and didn't reveal her name.

The picture was similar to the one the star shared when he and Cherry announced the arrival of Lyra in 2020, with the same blanket but a different pair of socks.

The news will have come as a surprise to fans, as it wasn't known that the couple were expecting.

The singer tends to keep his private life to himself.
