The pair then decided to give their romance another go in 2015, and after six months in a long distance relationship, she moved back to the UK to be with him.
Deciding to keep their engagement private, Ed is said to have popped the question in 2017, with the pair marrying in a top secret ceremony just before Christmas 2018.
The small wedding was held at Ed's country estate, with only close friends and family scoring an invite.
In August 2020, it was reported that Cherry is expecting the couple’s’ first child.
A source told The Sun: “Ed and Cherry are over the moon. They’re very excited, but have kept things very low key.
“Lockdown was a perfect excuse not to be seen out and about too much, but things are getting closer and the excitement has been building so they have started telling friends and family.
“They’re just making the last of the preparations at home, and the baby is expected later this summer.
“It’s a really happy time and their families are all totally delighted for them and cannot wait to meet the new arrival.”
