Grammy winner Ed Sheeran has explained why he`s “very, very private” about his children’s image.
The 34-year-old pop star, who has daughters Lyra and Jupiter with his wife Cherry Seaborn, said on The Louis Theroux Podcast: “I`m very, very private about my children`s image … I can`t take them to zoos or parks or anything really without someone trying to film them.”
“There are times where the normal parts of life I kind of mourn for and wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird, you know?”
Sheeran pointed out that his children “have not signed up” to the pitfalls of fame and success.
The “Perfect” hitmaker said: “People go, well that`s the trade-off. But my kids have not signed up to that.”
Despite his best efforts, Sheeran said that it`s impossible to shield his children from fame all of the time, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The award-winning star prefers to take commercial flights because of environmental concerns, but he conceded that it can lead to problems, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Sheeran said: “We`re flying back on Ryanair from a gig in Italy last year but all of my fans who`d been at the gig were flying back! I like the environment, I like trees. I`d find it hard to justify. No one`s perfect. When we`re doing intense promo trips, there will be the odd time (taking a private jet).”
Sheeran believes his music career peaked with his Divide album back in 2017.
He said: “I kind of feel I had my peak with Divide and I`m kind of coasting now. I don`t know if I`ll ever get back up there again but (when I had) that level of fame, that was my unhappiest (time).
I`m much happier with the balance I`ve got now.”
Sheeran previously admitted that fame has left him feeling like a “zoo animal” at times.
He told The Sun newspaper: “You feel like a zoo animal. I don’t mean to complain, I have a cool job and life. But I just want to avoid that.”
