- A screenshot of notoriously private Cherry’s LinkedIn page has gone viral online
- Fans praised Cherry for having her own career despite Ed’s fame and wealth
It turns out Ed Sheeran isn’t the only high achiever in his household.
While the Grammy-winning singer was crisscrossing the globe selling out arenas and topping charts, his wife, Cherry Seaborn, was quietly building an impressive corporate career of her own.
Fans were recently left stunned when a screenshot of notoriously private Cherry’s LinkedIn page went viral online, revealing she has spent years working as a Manager at Deloitte.
That’s right, the woman known publicly as Ed’s longtime love and mother of his two daughters also spent nearly a decade climbing the ranks at one of the world’s biggest consulting firms.
After the image began circulating on X, formerly Twitter, it sparked a flurry of admiration and surprise online.
Not only did Cherry juggle a demanding corporate job while being married to one of the world’s most famous musicians, but she also hit pause on her career at one point to pursue further education.
Her resume includes a Master’s degree from Duke University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Business from the University of Cambridge.
And before her most recent stint as Manager in Deloitte’s Nature, Climate and Sustainability – Innovation, she worked in both the London and New York offices, amassing nearly nine years with the firm overall.

Social media users couldn’t help but express awe at Cherry’s ability to stay out of the spotlight while still carving her own path.
‘Women that keep being who they are after marrying rich people or super stars >>>,’ one X user wrote.
‘I really don’t fancy when a babe’s life/career/identity is tied to her husband’s career alone.’
Others claimed that having your own career as a woman wasn’t just impressive – it was a necessity.
‘I feel like this is the only way to stay sane as a woman if you’re married to a “superstar” guy,’ one user shared.
‘There’s already such a power imbalance there. You NEED to be able to walk away at any moment, have your own career and identity protected at all costs.’
While some praised Cherry, others made jokes about how she still had a career despite being married to a famous (and wealthy) musician.
‘Not even being a rockstar can sustain having a family under a single income in London,’ one X user wrote.
The pair met as teenagers, reconnected in 2015, and then married in 2018

Other fans joked about both Cherry and Ed working despite their high salaries
‘Imagine making that much money and your partner still has to work as a pop singer,’ another joked, referencing the high-paying salaries Deloitte is known for.
The couple’s love story goes back to their teenage years at Thomas Mills High School in Suffolk, England.
They reconnected in 2015 while both were living in New York City, and tied the knot in 2018.
Since then, they’ve welcomed two daughters: Lyra in 2020 and Jupiter in 2022.
