Popular singing sensation Ed Sheeran has recently revealed that he questioned his sexuality when he was a child and ‘thought he was gay’.

In an interview, the Shape of You singer admitted that he ‘thought he was gay’ growing up. Ed Sheeran said he was convinced he was attracted to men as he enjoyed so-called ‘feminine’ activities such as watching musicals and listening to pop music.

“I have a definite feminine side, to the point that when I was a kid I thought I was gay for a bit,” he added.

Moreover, the 30-year-old singer shared his advice for starting a family and told the hosts not to wait to have a baby as he and Cherry ‘struggled with it a bit’ when trying to conceive.

The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Lyra, in August 2020 more than two years after the couple secretly tied the knot.

Last week, Ed Sheeran released his brand new album Equals, which is his most personal record yet with most songs written about his love for Cherry.
