India, July 14 -- British singer Ed Sheeran doesn't rely on music executives or industry insiders to tell him if a track will be a hit - he just asks his wife, Cherry Seaborn. While speaking on Not Gonna Lie, the podcast hosted by Kylie Kelce, the singer-songwriter opened up about his creative process and the quiet but powerful role Cherry plays in it. Ed said his wife has a sharp ear and often helps him decide which songs to release - but only if the timing is right.

"She has very good taste," he said, adding that the 34-year-old is cautious when he plays her his latest material. If she's not in a good mood, her reaction could be brutal. "Cherry can kill a song. If she's not vibing with it, I just think of it as dead," he admitted.
