(CNN) Ed Sheeran has revealed that he's a married man.

The British singer-songwriter confirmed he wed his childhood friend, Cherry Seaborn, in an interview with iHeartRadio's Charlamagne Tha God about his new collaboration album.

Sheeran said the two had tied the knot while discussing the lyrics of his new song with Eminem and 50 Cent, "Remember My Name," in which he calls Seaborn his "wife."

"Watch how the lyrics in the songs might get twisted / My wife wears red, but looks better without the lipstick," the lyrics go.

Sheeran said he had written those lyrics before he and Seaborn made their marriage official.
