“I would obviously be super grateful to be able to have any more kids, but I think girls are far superior to boys. As a boy myself, I feel like I can say this,” says Sheeran onKannon’s podcastOpen House Partythis week.

The Grammy winner adds, “I feel like we were so lucky to be able to have one that I think I would obviously love more. But I think we’re so lucky to just have one. So if nothing else happens, I’m so happy, basically.”

Sheeran says Lyra is busy lately “just being cute,” recent milestones including “making attempts to crawl” and “babbling.”

Sheeran also talks about feeling part of a “club” since entering parenthood.

“It’s weird you say club, because I think that whenever you become a parent you enter into this club that all the other parents are in and everyone understands each other,” he says.

On the topic of being a father to a daughter specifically, Sheeran agrees that “definitely the emotions come out.”

“I think I’ve had a few changes in my life over the past two years, not least turning 30 and becoming a dad,” the artist explains. “I had afriend who passed away in March, which was my first experience with real grief. And I feel like coming to terms with being an adult; I feel my 20s was this crazy whirlwind of partying and working and traveling the world and blah, blah, blah. Then everything stops and I’m, yeah, just figuring out who I am.”
