Sheeran made some adorable comments about their new addition while speaking on BBC Radio 1 ahead of Radio 1′s Big Weekend.
“I definitely spent hours and hours in front of the mirror pretending to be essentially what I am now. Practice makes perfect,” he said.
Revealing how Lyra isn’t always impressed by his performances he continued, “Now I’ll sing [my new songs] to my daughter, who’s not my biggest fan. She just cries!”

However, there are a few songs that Lyra approves of.
“‘Shape of You’”, he added. “The marimba sound is good, but she doesn’t like anything loud or anything belt-y.”
Sheeran shared a rare Instagram message to announce Lyra’s birth.
Posting a pic of a tiny pair of socks and a blanket, he wrote, “Ello! A quick message from me as I have some personal news that I wanted to share with you… Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter – Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran.”
