'He's so ready to take the next step with Cherry and couldn't think of a better place to ask her to marry him in Australia,' the friend allegedly told the publication. 

Ed recently opened up about his girlfriend during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio.

The 25-year-old knows Cherry from school, and admitted he 'wanted to be a dad' for the past year and is ready to start having 'chubby babies'.

He said: 'This has been the first time I've ever actually had the time to fall in love properly.

'I've always got into relationships very passionate - I'm a redhead and also Irish. But then I will get in a relationship and go on tour for 18 months and everything will f**k up.

'And I'm like, "Oh, what happened?" But it's because I had no time to put into someone.'

When asked if he was excited to become a dad in the future, the Shape Of You singer said he was 'massively' ready.

He explained: 'Massively, yeah. I wanted to be a dad, like, last year. I'm ready, let's go - tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around.'

Ed took a break from the music scene for about a year, following the success of his sophomore album 'X' to pen his third offering, due for release in the coming weeks, titled '÷'.

And he went on to explain that having a child would take priority and that when the time comes he'll be taking an 'extended break'.

'When [my child] hits four or five and starts primary school, I'm just out. I think [Bruce] Springsteen took an extended break when his kids went to school. I think that's going to be me.
