Mark SurridgeWhere in the world is Ed Sheeran? Living La Dolce Vita in Italy with his wife, apparently.

At the end of December, Ed announced that he’d be taking a break from the spotlight and social media to “travel, write and read.” Now, the U.K.’s Daily Mail has photos of Ed enjoying a glass of wine in a bar in Venice, Italy with his wife, Cherry Seaborn. He and Cherry were also spotted strolling around the Italian city hand-in-hand a few days ago.

Venice may be just one stop in Italy for Ed and Cherry: In 2017, he told Vanity Fair that he’d just purchased a property in Italy. He wouldn’t reveal where it was, but locals believe he has a place in the town of Paciano [pah-cee-AH-no], in the province of Perugia [peh-ROUGE-jee-yah].

Ed has promised to return with new music, once he’s “lived a little more to actually have something to write about.” Meanwhile, he’s changed the profile pic on his socials to “BRB” — “Be right back.”
