Ed Sheeran is the new Men's Health UK cover star for January! In a new post to Instagram, the Sapphire singer shared a shirtless photo showing off his newly defined six pack abs. He explained in the caption that it was a new goal of his to do a Men's Health cover story after going on his health journey: "Something I never thought id do, but here we are. 10 years ago I was a beer guzzling, kebab munching smoker. Having kids really made me knock all those bad habits on the head (excuse the pun), and I got heavily into exercise and moderation." Aww! Ed has always been so vocal about how his wife, Cherry Seaborn Sheeran, and their daughters Lyra, 5, and Jupiter, 3, really made him want to kick his Bad Habits. He continued: "I started off this year doing dry jan, and just carried on being sober and exercising. I did a lot of reformer pilates and got in the best shape of my life. I kept joking that I was gonna do a Men's Health cover, then one day was just like 'why not'. The article is out online today, where I chat more about moderation and balance, if youre interested have a read." Related: Ed Reveals He & Taylor Swift Had A '4-Hour Catch-Up' Recently!
