Ed Sheeran announced on Instagram Saturday that he and girlfriend Cherry Seaborne are engaged. The singer, 26, posted a sweet photo to reveal the news, writing “Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx.”

According to the BBC, while Sheeran and Seaborn only officially started dating in 2015, the couple has known each other for years, meeting when they were students.

In an interview last January with British radio host Zane Lowe on Apple-produced music industry news show Beats 1, Sheeran disclosed how happy he was in his relationship with Seaborn, and explained how perfectly everything had aligned in his life at that point, thanks in big part, the singer explains, to his time off from performing. “This has been the first time I’ve ever actually had the time to fall in love properly,” Sheeran said. “I’ve always got into relationships very passionately, but then I…go on tour for 18 months and everything will [be ruined].”

Fortunately, time off from his career ended with both an incredible year on the Billboard charts, and a “perfect” relationship.
