Ed Sheeran reveals why he doesn't want to over-indulge his children

• LOS ANGELES — 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."
