Grammy winning pop star Ed Sheeran has talked about his approach to parenting and said he doesn`t want his kids to grow up in a "Richie Rich house" despite him being one of the best-selling musicians in the world.During an appearance on the `Call Her Daddy` podcast, Sheera, who has daughters Lyra and Jupiter with wife Cherry Seaborn, said: "Cherry is the biggest grounding force."The `Shape of You` hitmaker doesn`t want his children growing up like Richie Rich, the fictional character played by Macaulay Culkin in the 1994 comedy film.
The 34-year-old pop star, who has been married to Cherry since 2019, said: "Anytime there is something a little bit too Hollywood, she`ll be like, `Bro, come on`. Especially because I grew up with her, there`s always just a lens of Suffolk over it. I wanted to build a bowling alley in our back garden, but Cherry said no.
"She knew we didn`t need that. She doesn`t want our kids growing up in the Richie Rich house where there`s literally McDonald`s in our back garden."Sheeran already has a pub, a cinema and a recording studio at home.
But the pop star doesn`t want to over-indulge his kids, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He shared: "I built a pub in my garden because there used to be this pub I would go to, where I`d go to blow off steam. And it got to that point where people knew I went there, so I couldn`t go as much and get as drunk as I`d like. And there an old barn on my land, so I bought the counter and the pub off of eBay, and all of the plumbing and wiring in.
"There`s now a tunnel to it from the house and in there I have also built a listening room and a cinema. And that`s my man catacombs."Meanwhile, Sheeran previously shared that fatherhood has given him a "purpose".
The chart-topping star said on `The Ellen DeGeneres Show`: "I just found that I really didn`t have purpose outside of (music) because when I was giving myself fixed time of no work, I wasn`t doing anything I enjoyed because I love doing music. And (being a dad) has actually given me purpose and something in life that`s actually more important than my job."This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
