- LOS ANGELES — Grammy winning pop star Ed Sheeran has talked about his approach
to parenting and said he doesn't want his kids to grow up in a "Richie
Rich house" despite him being one of the best-selling musicians in the
world.
-
- During an appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast,
Sheera, who has daughters Lyra and Jupiter with wife Cherry Seaborn, said:
"Cherry is the biggest grounding force."
-
- The 'Shape of You' hitmaker doesn't want his children
growing up like Richie Rich, the fictional character played by Macaulay Culkin
in the 1994 comedy film.
-
- The 34-year-old pop star, who has been married to Cherry
since 2019, said: "Anytime there is something a little bit too Hollywood,
she'll be like, 'Bro, come on'. Especially because I grew up with her, there's
always just a lens of Suffolk over it. I wanted to build a bowling alley in our
back garden, but Cherry said no.

- "She knew we didn't need that. She doesn't want our
kids growing up in the Richie Rich house where there's literally McDonald's in
our back garden."
-
- Sheeran already has a pub, a cinema and a recording studio
at home. But the pop star doesn't want to over-indulge his kids, reports

-
- He shared: "I built a pub in my garden because there
used to be this pub I would go to, where I'd go to blow off steam. And it got
to that point where people knew I went there, so I couldn't go as much and get
as drunk as I'd like. And there an old barn on my land, so I bought the counter
and the pub off of eBay, and all of the plumbing and wiring in.
-
- "There's now a tunnel to it from the house and in there
I have also built a listening room and a cinema. And that's my man
catacombs."
-
- Meanwhile, Sheeran previously shared that fatherhood has
given him a "purpose".
