Speaking about the period during an episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Sheeran described the moment he received the call from Seaborn.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe day Cherry rung me up and said that she had cancer, that was probably one of the worst days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was probably the worst week because Jamal died that week as well and then we went straight into the court case. And then Shane died.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he said: \u201cShe\u2019s fine, I mean she had the operation. She was pregnant at the time so that\u2019s why it was difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had the operation to remove the tumour after she\u2019d given birth to our second child. Thankfully, touch wood, totally fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheeran spoke on the podcast alongside Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco.<\/p>\n
When Seaborn first sought medical help, she was told by a doctor \u201cthis is really bad\u201d and that she had cancer.<\/p>\n
She immediately called her husband and told him to cancel his plans while the couple waited for the results of further tests.<\/p>\n
Doctors told Seaborn treatment options would not work while she was pregnant.<\/p>\n
After a sequencing test was carried out on the tumour, the couple were told it was less severe than initially feared and surgery could take place after she had given birth.<\/p>\n
Seaborn later spoke about the experience in Sheeran\u2019s Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All on Disney+.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cIt was the most incredible news. I nearly threw up when the surgeon told us we could wait to the end of the pregnancy to get the tumour out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t have to worry about delivering the baby early.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheeran and Seaborn announced the arrival of their daughter Jupiter in May 2022.<\/p>\n
The couple are also parents to their daughter Lyra, 4.<\/p>\n
In the documentary, Seaborn described attending a follow-up scan months after the operation and waiting anxiously for the results.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cYesterday I had follow up scan in my arm to see if the tumour had come back. We were silent in the car as we were worried it would be bad.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was super triggering being in the same room when things weren\u2019t so positive at the start of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe surgeon looked at the scans and it all looks good. The lymph nodes have all calmed down.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was amazing. It was massive for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking about the period during an episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Sheeran described the moment he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":328777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,2534,13976,48410,13973,156,15124,6204,185,2203,111,139,69,312,13977,13974,1842],"class_list":["post-328776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-cancer","tag-cherry","tag-declares","tag-ed","tag-entertainment","tag-fight","tag-fine","tag-is","tag-journey","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-says","tag-seaborn","tag-sheeran","tag-wife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
