Ed Sheeran is now a dad of two.

The 31-year-old singer revealed on Instagram Thursday that he and wife Cherry Seaborn have welcomed their second baby girl.

"Want to let you all know we've had another beautiful baby girl," Ed wrote alongside a photo of a brown knit baby blanket and white baby socks. "We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x."

The couple shared the news in a similar fashion when their first daughter, Lyra Antarctica, was born in August 2020 -- with a multi-colored knit blanket and black baby socks.

They have yet to reveal the baby's name, but fans can expect it would be unique, just like his eldest daughter's name.

In 2021, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer opened up about the meaning of Lyra's name.

"I realize some people think it's quite a strange name," Sheeran, 30, told British morning show "Lorraine" at the time. "But my wife's called Cherry, and she is the only Cherry that I've ever met and I think that she's the only Cherry that she's ever met and I quite like that."

Sheeran said he gave his daughter the middle name Antarctica, saying he visited the chilly continent with Cherry before she became pregnant.

Because of that, Sheeran revealed that he and Cherry wanted to give their child "a name that was unique, so that she would be the only one."
