A first-look at the documentary on Ed Sheeran’s life shows the emotional moment he breaks down in tears while opening up about his wife Cherry Seaborn’s health struggles.
Earlier this month, the singer took to Instagram to share the news that Seaborn, who he’s been married to since 2019, was diagnosed with a tumour while pregnant with their second child last year.
Within the same month, the singer’s best friend, Jamal Edwards, tragically passed away.
These difficult life events changed the course of Sheeran’s upcoming Disney+ docu-series The Sum of It All, something that he discusses in the trailer.

“Cherry’s health, it was really bad, and then suddenly my best friend Jamal dies,” he explains.
“You guys said, ‘Do you want to make a documentary?’ And I went, ‘Yeah, it should be me in the studio and we’ll play the gig.’
“That’s not what the documentary is.”
The camera then cuts to the ‘Shape of You’ singer in a car as he bursts into tears.
And hundreds of people have offered words of support, with one writing in the trailer’s YouTube comments: “This doc series just proves that even when fans thinks he’s a super figure… he’s just a human with ups and downs just like the rest of us.
“So much respect for Ed and Cherry!”
Another wrote: “I’m so excited for this, he deserves every bit of success and good things in his life.
“You can always see the passion he has for music and expressing himself, that has never changed.”
“Real life comes to all of us, no matter where we’re at,” added a third. “I’m hoping you Cherry and the girls are doing well.”
The upcoming documentary, which also coincides with Sheeran’s sixth studio album release ‘Subtract’, is said to take viewers on a journey into how an ‘unlikely child with a stutter rose to fame to become one of the biggest global music superstars’.
Per the official synopsis: “For the first time, global superstar Ed Sheeran opens the doors to a definitive and searingly honest view into his private life as he explores the universal themes that inspire his music.
“This series follows Ed after he learns of life-changing news and reveals his hardships and triumphs during the most challenging period of his life.”
Meg Ryan took a break from acting to spend time with her children: This is her today
The journey of Meg Ryan, who first drew breath in Fairfield, Connecticut in 1961, weaves a tale of resilience amidst the tumult of a fractured family. In the wake of her parents’ divorce, she encountered the harsh realities of life at a tender age. Yet, her innate charisma proved to be her guiding star, propelling her towards the celestial realms of Hollywood with iconic performances in classics like “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail”, thus enshrining her as the quintessential “America’s sweetheart”.
Amidst the dizzying heights of stardom, Ryan embarked on a hiatus from the silver screen, opting to nurture her familial bonds, a decision influenced in part by her widely publicized liaison and subsequent estrangement with the enigmatic Russell Crowe. Preferring to shield herself from the relentless glare of the spotlight, she reflected: “It was akin to a sudden bolt of lightning… We’ll weather this storm together”, alluding to the profound connection she shared with Dennis Quaid. Their union, however, proved ephemeral, culminating in a divorce a decade later, with Quaid’s infidelity being cited as a contributing factor.
Ryan’s foray into acting commenced amidst her pursuit of journalism, initially marked by commercial gigs before ascending to the stratosphere with her breakout role in “Top Gun”. Fate intertwined her path with Dennis Quaid’s on the set of “Innerspace”, leading to a matrimonial bond that bore fruit in the form of a son, Jack, who has since ventured into the cinematic realm, leaving his mark in productions such as “The Hunger Games”.
In 2006, Ryan expanded the canvas of her family portrait by embracing motherhood once more, this time through the adoption of a 14-month-old Chinese girl christened Daisy. The profound love and connection she experienced mirrored the depths of her affection for her biological offspring, Jack.
While Ryan has retreated from the public gaze in recent times, murmurs abound of her impending return to the limelight of Hollywood. At the age of 60, she continues to exude an ethereal aura of youthfulness and allure, eliciting eager anticipation from her legion of admirers who yearn to witness her luminous presence grace the silver screen once more.
