Ed Sheeran confirms he is relocating with wife Cherry Seaborn and their daughters
The move comes ahead of his extended US tour
Singer reveals love for Nashville and his future in country music
Sheeran says he culturally identifies as Irish despite Suffolk upbringing
Ed Sheeran moving to America has been confirmed by the star himself, with the singer explaining he will relocate with his family to settle in the US during his upcoming tour. The chart-topping musician, who has often spoken about his love for Nashville and country music, said he could not keep “dipping in and out” of the country while raising young children.

Why is Ed Sheeran moving to America?
The Suffolk-based artist revealed his plans during an appearance on The 2 Johnnies Podcast. Sheeran explained that a long stretch of touring in the US meant it was not practical to keep flying back and forth from the UK.
“I’m just about to move to America. I feel like I might be the only person moving to America,” he said, acknowledging the political turbulence in the country but adding that touring and family life were the main reasons behind the move.
The singer, his wife Cherry Seaborn, and their daughters Lyra (5) and Jupiter (3) are expected to divide their time between New York and Nashville. Reports suggest he has purchased a £9 million (₹95 crore) apartment in Brooklyn, where he previously rented during his copyright trial in 2023.
Sheeran has made no secret of his admiration for Nashville, often calling it his “favourite city in the States”. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast earlier this year, he explained: “When you transition to country, you can’t transition back. Nashville has always been my end goal.”
The Grammy-winning artist has hinted at moving into country music for several years, influenced by the city’s songwriting culture and welcoming music scene. He believes Nashville offers a space where celebrities can live more freely without constant attention.
Fans have long been fascinated by Sheeran’s sprawling Suffolk estate, nicknamed “Sheeranville”. The property includes two pubs, a chapel, and multiple houses. In his podcast interview, Sheeran explained that the private pubs allow him to enjoy time with friends without worrying about camera phones or social media exposure.
The chapel, meanwhile, has hosted carol services, family events, and even weddings for members of his security team. Sheeran also described it as a place to remember friends who have passed away. While the estate will remain in his portfolio, he suggested he would be spending most of his time in the US during the next phase of his career.

How does Sheeran identify culturally?
In addition to his music career, Sheeran has spoken about his strong Irish roots. Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast, he said: “I class my culture as Irish. My dad’s family has seven brothers and sisters. We’d spend all of our holidays in Ireland, and my first musical experiences were with trad music in the house.”
Although born in Halifax and raised in Suffolk, the singer said his upbringing was steeped in Irish culture, shaping both his personal identity and his artistry. “I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn’t necessarily mean I have to just be British,” he said.

For Sheeran, the move to America is both a personal and professional shift. As he prepares to settle with his family across the Atlantic, the move reflects not only the demands of his career but also his plans to embrace country music and even a new cultural chapter.

Did Kajal Aggarwal really die in a road accident?
The false report suggested that Kajal Aggarwal had been involved in a fatal crash, with some posts claiming she sustained major injuries. Within hours, the news was widely shared across platforms, causing confusion among her fans. The actor responded swiftly on Instagram Stories and X, confirming she had not been in any accident.
She wrote: “I’ve come across some baseless news claiming I was in an accident (and no longer around!) and honestly, it’s quite amusing because it’s absolutely untrue. By the grace of god, I want to assure you all that I am perfectly fine, safe, and doing very well.”

How Kajal Aggarwal addressed the death hoax
Rather than ignoring the speculation, Kajal Aggarwal directly addressed the death rumour to put an end to the panic. She also made a point to remind her supporters not to spread falsehoods online. “I kindly request you not to believe or circulate such false news.

Why do celebrity death rumours spread so fast?
Celebrity death hoaxes are unfortunately common in the digital age. From Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan, several Indian film icons have previously been declared dead in fabricated online stories. Such claims often use doctored screenshots of news outlets or misleading headlines to gain traction, relying on the emotional impact they create among fans.
In Kajal Aggarwal’s case, the road accident hoax highlighted how quickly misinformation can reach millions before being corrected. Experts warn that such incidents bring to light the urgent need for fact-checking and media responsibility.
Kajal Aggarwal’s recent and upcoming films
On the career front, Kajal Aggarwal continues to remain busy with projects across industries. She was recently seen in Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, playing the role of Goddess Parvathi alongside Akshay Kumar’s Lord Shiva. In Bollywood, she appeared in Sikandar with Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna.
Her upcoming slate includes Indian 3 with Kamal Haasan and, reportedly, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where she is expected to portray Mandodari, Ravana’s wife, opposite Yash.

The Bads of Bollywood trailer lands with bold humour drama and unexpected industry jabs
Aryan Khan makes his directorial debut with Netflix series
The Ba**ds of Bollywood trailer teases starry cameos, including Shah Rukh Khan
Bobby Deol, Lakshya and Sahher Bambba headline the cast
Series premieres worldwide on 18 September
The much-awaited The Ba**ds of Bollywood trailer has finally dropped, marking Aryan Khan’s official entry into the industry as a director. Released by Netflix, the series takes viewers deep into the glamour and chaos of Bollywood, with a fresh satirical spin. Featuring a special cameo by Shah Rukh Khan, it highlights both the allure and the darker realities of the industry, promising a bold new narrative.
The Bads of Bollywood trailer lands with bold humour drama and unexpected industry jabs Netflix Screengrab
What is The Ba**ds of Bollywood about?
The seven-episode series follows Aasmaan Singh, played by newcomer Lakshya, an ambitious outsider determined to make it big in Hindi cinema. With the support of his best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal), his sharp-tongued manager Sanya (Anya Singh), and his close-knit family, Aasmaan sets out to conquer the film world.
However, the path is far from easy. Aasmaan crosses paths with superstar Ajay Talvar played by Bobby Deol, who becomes his biggest rival when Aasmaan is cast opposite Ajay’s daughter, Karishma (Sahher Bambba). Power struggles, politics, and egos collide, creating a narrative that reflects both the dreams and pitfalls of Bollywood.
Apart from Lakshya and Bobby Deol, the show features Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Vijayant Kohli, and Raghav Juyal in pivotal roles. The Ba**ds of Bollywood also boasts an impressive line-up of celebrity cameos. Viewers can spot Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan, Karan Johar, Disha Patani, and SS Rajamouli, along with rapper Badshah.
The highlight of the trailer remains Shah Rukh Khan’s appearance, where his character is mistakenly referred to as rapper Badshah, leading to a humorous exchange. His cameo, produced under Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, adds to the anticipation surrounding the series.
When will The Ba**ds of Bollywood release on Netflix?
The series will stream globally on 18 September exclusively on Netflix. With its sharp one-liners, self-aware humour, and over-the-top Bollywood drama, it has already generated massive buzz online. The timing of the release, close to the festive season, is expected to draw large audiences across India and the UK.
The project represents Aryan Khan’s long-awaited creative debut, years after speculation about whether he would act or direct. By choosing to step behind the camera rather than in front of it, he has carved out his own space in the industry while still carrying forward the Red Chillies Entertainment legacy.
The soundtrack, produced in collaboration with T-Series, features compositions by Shashwat Sachdev with guest tracks by Anirudh Ravichander. The first single, Badli Si Hawa Hai sung by Arijit Singh and Amira Gill, has already gained traction on streaming platforms. Another track, Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri, also showcases Arijit Singh’s vocals, adding emotional depth to the narrative.
Music has always been central to Bollywood storytelling, and Aryan Khan’s series appears to embrace that tradition while adding a modern twist.
Aryan Khan’s choice of subject matter is bold. Rather than a conventional launchpad, The Ba**ds of Bollywood presents a satirical, behind-the-scenes look at the industry that made his family a household name. By tackling themes of nepotism, politics, and ambition, the series resonates with ongoing debates within Bollywood.
For fans, the chance to see Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo under his son’s direction adds an extra layer of excitement. For critics, Aryan Khan’s decision to focus on direction reflects a desire to carve his own identity, setting him apart from the expected path of acting.

Why Laura Whitmore on Britain’s Killer Teens is a must watch
Each of the five episodes of Laura Whitmore on Britain’s Killer Teens focuses on a separate, shocking case. From a Dexter-inspired killer to teenagers driven by rejection rage, the series goes beyond sensational headlines to examine the factors behind these crimes. Experts and investigators provide forensic analysis, while family members recount personal experiences, offering a rare and harrowing look into these tragedies.
Unlike typical true crime shows, Whitmore highlights the victims’ voices as much as the perpetrators’ actions. She explains: “It angers me how long some families wait for justice, living with curtains drawn while perpetrators remain unnamed.” By emphasising closure and the human cost of teenage violence, the series aims to educate viewers about the legal system and the real-life consequences of these crimes.
Whitmore, a mother herself, stresses the importance of guiding children through today’s social media-driven world. She warns that platforms like TikTok can influence teenage behaviour, and parents must equip their children with the tools to make responsible choices. “At some point you have to let your children grow up, but it’s crucial to provide them with the right guidance,” she said.
Among the gripping stories is that of Brian Blackwell, an 18-year-old from a privileged background who murdered his parents before going on holiday with his girlfriend. Other cases include a young girl fatally stabbed by her ex-partner and incidents where rejection led teenagers to commit unthinkable acts. Each episode dissects motives, backgrounds, and investigative processes, creating a sobering and informative viewing experience.
Laura Whitmore on Britain’s Killer Teens airs Monday 8 September at 9pm on Crime+Investigation, offering a deep dive into the tragic and disturbing realities of teenage crime in the UK.
