it's the most amazing thing in my life
that no one really knows about.
181
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,191
Everything in my life sort of got
so much better when she got into it.

185
00:09:34,116 --> 00:09:35,659
[Sheeran] We went on a tuk-tuk in Bangkok.
186
00:09:35,659 --> 00:09:38,245
- Do you remember that party tuk-tuk?
- That was a party tuk-tuk.
187
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,872
- Yeah, I--
- I just have images of us,
188
00:09:39,872 --> 00:09:41,081
like, leaning out the windows.
189
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,417
I had to have a tactical nap
halfway through the night.
190
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:44,877
- I just slept.
- [Cherry laughs]
191
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:46,962
- So when we first started...
- Oh, my God.
192
00:09:46,962 --> 00:09:49,256
...getting together,
I was living in New York.
193
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:53,385
And I was like, I knew Ed from school,
so I know what he'll want to do.
194
00:09:53,385 --> 00:09:54,595
I've got this nailed.
195
00:09:54,595 --> 00:09:57,890
- We went boating in, um, Central Park.
- [Sheeran] Central Park.
196
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:58,974
On that lake.
197
00:09:58,974 --> 00:10:03,646
But it was, like, the busiest, busiest,
hottest day of the year in New York.
198
00:10:03,646 --> 00:10:06,023
Um, like, we were--
So we were rowing out... [chuckles]
199
00:10:06,023 --> 00:10:07,107
I was rowing, right?
200
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:08,859
I got into the middle of the lake,
and just--
201
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:11,737
These boats just started surrounding us.
But all these tourists.
202
00:10:11,737 --> 00:10:14,698
- They were all rowing after us.
- They were filming and taking pictures.
203
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:16,659
- I'm like--
- Ed was sweating. [chuckles]
204
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:18,619
And then Chez goes,
"Do you want me to row?"
205
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:21,830
I was like, "Cherry, the last thing
I need is a picture of you rowing me."
206
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:23,332
[both chuckle]
207
00:10:24,458 --> 00:10:26,085
Cherry's apartment, it wasn't even a room.
208
00:10:26,085 --> 00:10:30,297
You had a, like-- It was a living room
that they put a par-- a partition in.
209
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:33,258
After a month, she was like,
"Oh, I've got a room at another apartment.
210
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:34,385
Will you help me move out?"
211
00:10:34,385 --> 00:10:36,762
I was like, "Yeah, new boyfriend.
I'll help you move out."
212
00:10:36,762 --> 00:10:40,057
So we packed up all the boxes,
and again hottest day of the summer.
213
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:42,393
- Forty-second...
- Lifting all these boxes.
214
00:10:42,393 --> 00:10:44,269
- We got to the lockup.
- Oh, yeah.
215
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:45,771
- Ben had rented one.
- Move everything.
216
00:10:45,771 --> 00:10:50,651
In my mind I was like, "Next time,
we should pay movers to do that."
217
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:51,944
- This is--
- No, don't make it--
218
00:10:51,944 --> 00:10:54,279
Ed always tells this story,
and it drives me mad.
219
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,615
- He's like, I'm crazy...
- Can I finish the story?
220
00:10:56,615 --> 00:10:59,368
...for not getting--
for not getting a removal van in.
221
00:10:59,368 --> 00:11:03,956
It's like, who can afford at 22 years old
to get a removal van in
222
00:11:03,956 --> 00:11:06,750
- to move them out of their flat?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay.
223
00:11:07,251 --> 00:11:10,796
Yeah, I didn't think it was gonna
ever be any more than that weekend.
224
00:11:10,796 --> 00:11:11,964
And here we are.
225
00:11:11,964 --> 00:11:13,298
Here we are. Marriage. Two kids.
226
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:16,343
He basically kept coming back for--
for promo. [chuckles]
227
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:19,430
There was a reason I kept coming back.
I didn't just keep coming back.

like that at that point in our lives
313

00:16:29,698 --> 00:16:31,241
Even the not crazy stuff, it just worked.
324
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,576
- And it was--
- [child screams]
325
00:16:32,576 --> 00:16:34,411
Sorry, those are my kids
playing in the background.
326
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:37,330
I had the date of the engagement
engraved on the ring.
327
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:38,582
- So--
- It had to happen on that day.
328
00:16:38,582 --> 00:16:40,667
It had to happen on this day. I was like...
329
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,794
He was, "We have to get out.
We've got so much to do today."
330
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:44,379
And I was, "We have nothing to do today.
331
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:47,507
This is our first day of holiday.
We have absolutely nothing to do today."
332
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:50,010
And I was like, "Mate,
you've got to stop acting like this."
333
00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:52,554
He came into the sitting room.
I'd just made this food.
334
00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:54,306
And he was like, "We've gotta do this."
335
00:16:54,306 --> 00:16:56,349
And I was like, "Ed, stop being such a..."
336
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:57,434
- Like, I actually--
- C word.
337
00:16:57,434 --> 00:16:58,518
Like, I cannot say it.
338
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:03,231
I, like, spun around as I was saying it.
And he was on one knee with the ring out.
339
00:17:03,231 --> 00:17:04,566
I was like, "Oh!"
340
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:08,445
And she said, "Are you joking?"
And I just said, "Please?"

[Cherry laughing]
342

He doesn't see barriers at all
in anything.
343
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,786
Like, it's just like, "I wanna do this,
and I'm gonna go and do it."
344
00:17:15,786 --> 00:17:20,165
He basically persuaded me
to take a sabbatical off work,
345
00:17:20,165 --> 00:17:22,501
do a masters in sustainability,
and now I work in sustainability.
346
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:23,418

"I know I can entertain you."

would tweet out "he's at this place,"

I find, like, when you become parents,

00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:46,991
you just basically just become parents
456
00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:50,495
and you forget that you actually were
in love and in a relationship before

00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:32,639
Well, this is the point.
489
00:24:32,639 --> 00:24:35,934
You're sort of-- not sure where you are
at the moment with your...
490
00:24:35,934 --> 00:24:37,393
[both laugh]
491
00:24:41,439 --> 00:24:44,275
I feel like this is a better reflection
of my head right now.
492
00:24:44,275 --> 00:24:45,693
- Chez.
- Huh?
493
00:24:45,693 --> 00:24:47,320
- A better reflection.
- [Cherry] This is it!
494
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,825
If you can, like, distill Ed's brain
onto a canvas, like...
495
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:54,494
[laughs] ...that is it.
496
00:24:54,494 --> 00:24:56,454
But, like, there is so much
going on in there.
497
00:24:56,454 --> 00:24:57,997
You should tell-- Well, cut this bit out.
498
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:00,166
But tell Souts why you actually
wanted to do the documentary
499
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,001
- 'cause you were explaining--
- It's so deep though.
500
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:04,212
We were having such a heart-to-heart.
501
00:25:04,212 --> 00:25:07,757
Um. It's stupid, like, it's--
Yeah, it's wild.
502
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:10,260
Um, but I was saying to Ed, so I...
503
00:25:11,344 --> 00:25:13,179
Long story short, super **** shit,
504
00:25:13,179 --> 00:25:16,683
got diagnosed with cancer at the start of
the year, which was a massive shitter.
505
00:25:17,433 --> 00:25:20,562
Um, but it made me--
506
00:25:20,562 --> 00:25:22,647
You're so all super silent now.
507
00:25:23,147 --> 00:25:28,570
It made me massively reflect on, like,
our mortality.
508
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:32,240
Like, we're all completely, like,
uh, human or whatever.
509
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,326
And, um-- But I was saying to Ed,
510
00:25:35,326 --> 00:25:39,747
it's like I would never have agreed to do
anything like this ever, ever, ever.
511
00:25:39,747 --> 00:25:42,750
Um, but it made me think--
Like, this whole year,
512
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:49,132
I've been thinking, like, "Oh, if I died,
what's people's perception of me?"
513
00:25:49,132 --> 00:25:51,884
Like, what do you leave behind?
514
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:56,973
And I think for Ed, he-- Like,
the whole point is that he's trying to...
515
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,476
He wants to say to people,
"I'm not just this music machine.
516
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:05,440
Like, I'm not just this, like, robot that,
like, tries to get number one.
517
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,820
Like, I'm a father, I'm a son,
I'm a friend, I'm a husband."
518
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:13,948
And I've massively reflected on just--
519
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:15,825
It genuinely wasn't until this year
520
00:26:15,825 --> 00:26:17,827
when I was just like,
"I might die this year."
521
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:18,911
Or, like... [stammers]
522
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:21,247
[Sheeran]
Chez, you don't, like, you don't--
523
00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:24,000
Like, you've said that twice now
where it's like, "Oh, it's all good."
524
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,503
- But, like, you don't have to pretend...
- It was super gnarly. It was horrible.
525
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:29,589
But-- But when you have that...
526
00:26:30,089 --> 00:26:33,718
I know, but, like, but you're saying it
for the cameras like... [vocalizes]
527
00:26:33,718 --> 00:26:36,471
You said, like,
"Got diagnosed with cancer. No biggie."
528
00:26:36,471 --> 00:26:37,597
- Like...
- [Cherry laughs]
529
00:26:37,597 --> 00:26:39,474
- ...**** hell, man.
- You're gonna make me cry.
530
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:44,646
But, like, you're definitely
just playing it down, but it was horrible.
531
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:46,064
Yeah, it was gnarly.
532
00:26:50,568 --> 00:26:51,569
Crying man.
533
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:57,408
No, don't, 'cause I--
I don't really wanna think about it.
534
00:26:57,992 --> 00:26:59,494
What do you think of my brain though?
535
00:27:00,244 --> 00:27:01,663
It is so...
536
00:27:02,205 --> 00:27:04,499
It's what I have to deal with
on a daily basis.
537
00:27:04,499 --> 00:27:06,250
Like, "Wake up." [imitates Sheeran]
538
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:07,335
Oh, man. I know.
539
00:27:07,335 --> 00:27:08,419
Yeah, it's a lot.
540
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:14,634
Chez, that-- that--
that is being hung in the TV room.
541
00:27:29,065 --> 00:27:34,487
{\an8}At the start of February, um, we had the--
the diagnosis of the tumor.
542
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:37,907
And the day after,
Ed went down into the basement
543
00:27:37,907 --> 00:27:42,829
and wrote seven songs in, like,
what, four hours, maybe it was?
544
00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:46,207
Yeah, it was like Ed's--
I guess his way of, um...
545
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:51,003
You know, everyone-- Well, not everyone,
but people write a diary,
546
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:54,340
like, and get their emotions out
through their-- through the pen.
547
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:57,802
And for Ed, it's if something
really intense happens to him,
548
00:27:57,802 --> 00:27:58,886
he will go and write songs.
549
00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:00,596
I'm gonna have to remember the words now.
550
00:28:00,596 --> 00:28:01,931
But this is-- This is one of them.
551
00:28:01,931 --> 00:28:03,015

- That was great.
- Thanks.
571
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:14,003
That's a song I wrote in February.
572
00:29:14,545 --> 00:29:17,673
Uh, Cherry had gone
to have her lump taken out,
573
00:29:17,673 --> 00:29:22,887
and I kept saying to you
that it was just a lump and not to worry.
574
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:26,474
And that it was all good.
And then I was rehearsing,
575
00:29:26,474 --> 00:29:29,769
I remember getting a call from Chez
being like, "Yeah, it's not--"
576
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:32,730
"Cancel all the plans! I've got cancer."
577
00:29:34,649 --> 00:29:36,484
- [Sheeran] Yeah. Fun.
- [imitates scream]
578
00:29:36,484 --> 00:29:41,405
The doctor was basically like,
"This is really bad."
579
00:29:41,405 --> 00:29:43,407
We were like, "Oh, okay."
580
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:45,701
He was like, "But we're not gonna have
results back for a month."
581
00:29:45,701 --> 00:29:48,830
So we just sort of wandered
around London for the day.
582
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:52,542
What happens is
you kind of have the initial report, um,
583
00:29:52,542 --> 00:29:55,503
and then they look at treatment plans,
and how you're gonna manage it.
584
00:29:55,503 --> 00:29:58,005
But then there were no treatment plans
that worked with a six month...
585
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,924
- With the pregnancy.
- ...pregnant-- Yeah.
586
00:29:59,924 --> 00:30:01,467
So then you have a couple of weeks,
587
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:04,595
like, going through that with, um,
surgeons and oncologists and stuff.
588
00:30:04,595 --> 00:30:09,809
And then we had sequencing of the--
of the tumor,
589
00:30:09,809 --> 00:30:15,273
and that came back, like, much less severe
than they thought it was originally,
590
00:30:15,273 --> 00:30:17,859
which was, like, the most incredible news.
591
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:21,821
Like... [stammers] Like, I nearly threw up
when, like, the-- the surgeon told us
592
00:30:22,405 --> 00:30:24,907
we could wait till the end of
the pregnancy to get the tumor out,
593
00:30:24,907 --> 00:30:27,577
um, we didn't have to worry about
delivering the baby early.
594
00:30:28,077 --> 00:30:31,247
Um, so we got that news,
and then the day after, Jamal died.
595
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:35,042
And it was just, like, a really bad time.
596
00:30:38,004 --> 00:30:40,131
[no audible dialogue]
597
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:42,133
Remember?
598
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:44,218
- Yeah, it wasn't great.
- It was like...
599
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:47,138
It was bad.
600
00:30:47,138 --> 00:30:50,975
Yeah, it was, like,
a, uh, difficult, difficult time.
601
00:30:52,852 --> 00:30:53,853
[Cherry] And then...
602
00:30:54,937 --> 00:30:57,607
- The court case.
- The court case came in a week later.
603
00:30:57,607 --> 00:31:00,443
Which actually, oddly paled in comparison.
By the time the court case came,
604
00:31:00,443 --> 00:31:03,279
I was just kind of, "This is actually
nothing compared to what's going on."
605
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:05,072
Nah. The most important thing is, like...
606
00:31:05,072 --> 00:31:07,658
- Yeah.
- ...health and life.
607
00:31:07,658 --> 00:31:10,369
I don't think I'll ever get to February
and be like, "This is a great month."
608
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:13,247
I'd think, like, it-- That was a horrible,
horrible, horrible month.
609
00:31:13,915 --> 00:31:16,375
Life hasn't moved on for me yet,
and I don't actually think it will.
610
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,793
I don't think it's gonna be a...
611
00:31:21,589 --> 00:31:22,590
Yeah, I don't know.
612
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:32,058
[whispers] You should say something.
613
00:31:32,058 --> 00:31:35,186
[Cherry laughing] I don't know
what to say. I knew you were gonna cry.
