Ed Sheeran has explained why he recently left the UK and relocated to the US.

He also has more properties overseas
The Shape of You singer’s property portfolio also features a £8.25 million office block in Soho and a more recent $12 million purchase in Brooklyn Heights.
It seems he’s now also looking to buy a new home in America.

“I’m just about to move to America. I feel like I might be the only person moving to America,” he shared.
He has a tour coming up
Sheeran went on, “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.”
The singer didn’t specify where exactly he’d be moving to, but in a previous interview he said that Nashville is his ‘favorite city in the States.’
His ‘end goal’ was to move there
Sheeran told the Call Her Daddy podcast in April, “When you transition to country, you can’t transition back.”
“It’s always been my end goal to move to Nashville and transition to country,” he added.
The singer has also spoken about his identity
Sheeran has previously also spoken about his sense of identity, saying that he feels more Irish than British as he spent much of his childhood there.
“I class my culture as Irish. I think that’s what I grew up with,” he said on The Louis Theroux Podcast.
His dad is from Belfast so he spent his childhood there
“My dad’s family is … he’s got seven brothers and sisters. We’d spend all of our holidays in Ireland,” Sheeran shared.
“My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain.”
But he doesn’t think too much about it
“I don’t overthink it but I do feel like my culture is something that I’m really proud of and grew up with and want to express,” the singer added.
“And I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn’t necessarily mean that I have to just be [British], there’s loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this.”
He doesn’t believe it should be complicated
The singer went on to express that it shouldn’t be a complicated thing, adding, “I don’t think there’s any rules to it. It should be how you feel and how you were raised and what you lean into.”
