Revealing his wife Cherry had given birth, the Shape Of You hitmaker took to Instagram to share a snap of white pair of baby booties earlier this year.

Alongside the post, he penned: 'Want to let you all know we've had another beautiful baby girl. We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x'

Ed's Instagram post was met with a plethora of congratulatory messages from his fans.

The star had announced the birth of Lyra in a similar way, sharing a snap of her baby socks on a blanket alongside a message.

The couple made their first outing as foursome in June as the singer cradled his little one on a walk around Kensington Palace Gardens in London, while Cherry pushed their older daughter in a buggy. 

The new family seemed in good spirits on the outing as they made the most of the warm weather with a stroll across the green, stopping off to show Lyra the geese at the pond.

Ed and Cherry were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together in the same town.

They rekindled their romance in 2014 and tied the knot in a small ceremony five years later.
