Ed Sheeran on the future: 'I hope to find love and to have children'

'Thinking Out Loud' sensation Ed Sheeran has revealed that he is hoping to find love.

Speaking to The Mirror newspaper, the hitmaker explained that it's hard to find a genuine connection in the social media generation, but he hasn't given up hope: "My parents are so in love it's ridiculous. I kind of look at it like pressure. They've cracked it and my grandparents cracked it - but nowadays it's harder to find that. I hope to have kids."

"Being able to really pay my parents - not just financially - but being able to give them the things they wouldn't have ever dreamed of... Seeing them going off doing their thing is probably the best thing that's come out of my career. They're going around the world and for me to see that is great."

The superstar went onto add that he's in no immediate rush to settle down and is just looking forward to spending time at his house: "The first thing I bought in my career was a house. And I haven't really lived in it. And I want to live for a bit. I'd like to just live in my home town for a little bit. Do stuff, watch films and I dunno!"
