Ed Sheeran has revealed that he is moving to America.

During an appearance on the latest episode of the 2 Johnnies podcast, the British singer-songwriter said he is relocating to the U.S. with wife Cherry Seaborn and their daughters, Lyra, five, and Jupiter, three.

"I'm just about to move to America," Ed said, before joking: "I feel like I might be the only person moving to America."

Explaining his decision to move, he continued, "I'm going on tour there for a while and I have a family so I can't dip in and out. We're going and settling there."

While the 34-year-old did not disclose where in the U.S. they will be based, he has previously spoken about his love for Nashville, Tennessee, and his ambition to pursue country music.

"Nashville is, like, my favorite city in the States," he said during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. "My end goal would be like, I'm gonna move to Nashville and transition to country."

"I feel like I have to do it properly," the Shape of You hitmaker continued. "And I feel like once you transition to country, you can't transition back. Once you're there, you're there."

When not touring, Ed currently spends most of his time at his estate in Suffolk. Earlier this year, however, he expanded his property portfolio, purchasing a luxury apartment in Brooklyn, New York, for more than $10 million (£9 million).
