Ed Sheeran explains true reason he is leaving UK and moving to America
Ed Sheeran has explained why he had made the decision to relocate to the US.
The 'Shape of You' singer, 34, currently lives with his wife, Cherry Seaborn, and their daughters, Lyra, five, and Jupiter, three, at his Sheeranville estate in Suffolk.
With a reported net worth of $350 million, he has acquired 'at least 27 homes' in London, according to UK Estates.
His property portfolio also expands overseas with a recent reported $12 million purchase in Brooklyn Heights and a £8.25 million office block in Soho.

It seems Ed clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to investing in the property market, which may include a new home in America.
During an episode of the 2 Johnnies podcast, the hitmaker revealed that he plans on moving to the States to fit in with his schedule.
"I'm just about to move to America. I feel like I might be the only person moving to America," he admitted.
"I'm going on tour there for a while and I have a family so I can't dip in and out. We're going and settling there."
While he did not specify where he plans on moving to, in the past he said Nashville is his 'favourite city in the States'.
"When you transition to country, you can’t transition back," the musician told the Call Her Daddy podcast in April.
"It’s always been my end goal to move to Nashville and transition to country."
However, Ed, who spent much of his childhood in Ireland because his dad was from Belfast, previously shared that he feels more Irish than British.
"I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with," he said on The Louis Theroux Podcast.
'My dad's family is ... he's got seven brothers and sisters. We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland.
"My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain."
He added: "I don't overthink it but I do feel like my culture is something that I'm really proud of and grew up with and want to express.
"And I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be [British], there's loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this.
"I don't think there's any rules to it. It should be how you feel and how you were raised and what you lean into."
