Jedward: Ed Sheeran told us about daughter's birth before it was public

Jedward have claimed Ed Sheeran told them about his daughter's birth the day before he made his public announcement.

The 'Castle on the Hill' hitmaker revealed to the world on Tuesday (01.09.20) that he and his wife Cherry Seaborn are now the proud parents of a baby girl, whom they've named Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran.

And shortly after the announcement, twin singers Jedward - whose real names are John and Edward Grimes - took to social media to share a screenshot of a private message from Ed dated on Monday (31.08.20), in which he told them about Lyra's arrival.

The message - which seems to be from Instagram - read: "I love you guys. Sorry I've been off socials for so long, just popping in to tell you you're awesome and hope to see you soon ! I've got a daughter now by the way, you're gonna love her (sic)"

And alongside the picture, the 28-year-old twins wrote: Hi Twitter @Edsheeran has some news for you and us [heart emoji] we kept it a secret obviously! Welcome Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran (sic)"

In Ed's original Instagram post, he revealed he and Cherry are "completely in love" with their new arrival.
