During his candid chat about becoming a first-time father with Apple Music, Sheeran also opened up about the many ways in which his life has changed after becoming a dad.
“My lifestyle has completely shifted. Instead of going to bed at 6:00 a.m., I’m getting up at 6:00 a.m. and well, earlier than that, but like … Oh, man, she’s jet-lagged at the moment in L.A. I started exercising,” he said. “I used to do everything to excess, like real excess.”
“Like I would have like … I would go to a restaurant and be like, ‘Oh, I like the look of that. And like the look of that. And like, I’ll just, I’ll eat all of that,’ " Sheeran continued. “I loved drinking everything in sight and all the other stuff.”
“And I just found like when Cherry was six months pregnant, I was like, right at this point, [her] waters might break anytime and I’m just going to stop excess and just be available and be the husband that I’m meant to be,” he added.
