Ed Sheeran waits for wife's 'good mood' before playing new songs to her
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has a cardinal rule with regards to making his wife listen to new music.
The singer waits until his wife is in a good mood before he plays his new music to her, reports 'Female First UK'.
The 34-year-old singer, who has daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, with spouse Cherry, always looks to his family for feedback but admitted his childhood sweetheart can "kill" a song if she isn't instantly enthusiastic because he trusts her judgement.
Asked if he asks his family for their opinions on his songs, he told Kylie Kelce on her 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, "100 percent. Yeah, 100 percent. Cherry can kill a song.
She can. I'm actually really careful to play her songs when she's in a good mood. Because if she's like, 'Eh', then in my mind, I'm like, 'Okay. That song's dead'. She's just got a very good taste and read on things. Like, even I would write, I'd say, three songs a day, five days a week.
And I'll come home and I'll play them. And she can sift through that pretty easily".
As per 'Female First UK', the singer recalled writing a number of songs on one particular day, including his 2021 single Bad Habits, and playing them back to Cherry.

He said, "I came home, I listened to them all in the car, and I was kind of excited about most of them. And I played them to her, and she was like, 'That one, that Bad Habits one, that's the one you should finish tomorrow'. She's got she's got a very good read on stuff".
Ed also believes his daughters have a "good read" on his music too and they often "gravitate" towards the songs that are popular with his younger fan base when Cherry plays his records while he's away on tour.

Dinosaur Grow a Garden Corruption Update on July 26, 2025: Check new corrupt mutations, seeds, corrupt channeler, Kitsune NPCs
Roblox's Dinosaur Grow a Garden has officially entered its darker phase with the launch of the Corrupted Event Update, which went live today at 7:00 AM (PT). This pivotal expansion shifts the game's Zen-themed tranquility into chaos, introducing the Corrupt mutation, the enigmatic Corrupt Channeler, and the brand-new Corrupted Kitsune NPC, along with multiple seeds, pets, and high-stakes gameplay mechanics. The franchise Zen Aura event now has a chance each hour to mutate into the Corrupt Zen Aura, during which fruits can randomly gain the Corrupt mutation, distinguished by a swirling red aura. These mutated fruits offer a massive 25× sale value multiplier, making them highly coveted. Players submit Tranquil-mutated fruits to the Corrupt Channeler NPC to earn Corruption Points that grow the Corrupt Tree at the center hub. As corruption levels increase, players unlock further mutations and clear tiered rewards. Each hourly Zen event resets corruption progression.

Completing this balancing act unlocks special rewards including seeds and high-tier pets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Digital Marketing: How I Succeeded [Read] modern media blueprint Learn More Undo New Seeds Six new seeds have joined the game with this update: Live Events Sakura Bush, Dezen, Lucky Bamboo, Enkaku, Tranquil Bloom, and Elder Strawberry (plus Fruitball linked to the Travis Kelce event). Lucky Bamboo is particularly lucrative with an average sell price of ~110,000; Enkaku clocks ~77,000; Elder Strawberry hovers around ~81,000. Some seeds drop via Kitsune Chests, others directly from the Corrupt Channeler or Zen shop. Corrupted Kitsune Pet Arguably the star of the update is the Corrupted Kitsune, a rare and exotic pet rumored to drop from Kitsune Chest or Exotic Kitsune Chest, with only a 1 per cent chance—making it one of the rarest pets so far. Its passive ability is devastating: it removes nine existing mutations from nine different fruits on your plot and then applies Corrupted Chakra to one random fruit—sometimes upgrading to Foxfire Chakra, a much rarer aura. It's also among the most hunger‑demanding pets, requiring ~50,000 hunger units. Corrupt Staff: Operates like Star Caller, granting Corrupt mutation to nearby plants during Corrupt Aura events. Corrupt Mutation Spray: Allows you to manually apply Corrupt mutation to a selected crop. Corrupted Pet Mutation Shard: Available in the Zen shop using Chi points or Robux, to give pets Corrupt mutation traits. Corrupted Kodama Pet: A rare spawn with ~4.35 per cent chance from Corrupt Tree rewards, with a 4 per cent chance to mutate crops at harvest. FAQs Q1. How do I get Corrupt and Tranquil mutations in Grow a Garden? A1. Corrupt and Tranquil mutations occur during Zen Aura events, which happen every hour. Q2. What are the best new seeds in the Corrupted Update? A2. The Corrupted Update (July 26, 2025) added several high-value seeds to Grow a Garden. Some of the best include: Lucky Bamboo – Average value: ~110,000 coins, Elder Strawberry – Average: ~81,000 coins, Enkaku – Average: ~77,000 coins.

Divya Deshmukh devastated in FIDE Women's World Cup final draw against Koneru Humpy
Divya Deshmukh devastated (Screengrabs) The first game of the FIDE Women's World Cup final between 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh and 38-year-old Grandmaster (GM) Koneru Humpy ended in a tense draw on Saturday in Batumi, Georgia. But it was the emotion on Divya's face at the end, hands covering her disappointment, that told the real story of a missed opportunity. Watch: Making her debut in a major final, Divya came in with bold intent. Playing with the white pieces, she surprised many by opening with 1.d4, a move she hadn't played all tournament. It was a clear sign of targeted preparation. For the first hour, the young International Master (IM) held a clear edge, pushing Humpy onto the back foot with sharp, aggressive moves. But as the clock ticked and pressure mounted, Divya began using significant time for key decisions. The advantage slowly began to slip away. Humpy, ever composed, showed why she's long been India's top female player. She neutralised the pressure with precise calculation and calm defence, turning the tables slowly without ever forcing the issue. ALSO READ: Women's Chess World Cup Final: Divya Deshmukh lets advantage slip, holds Koneru Humpy to hard-fought draw in Game 1 The endgame turned into a psychological battle. Humpy began repeating queen checks, probing for weakness, perhaps even offering a silent draw. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click here for more information Undo But Divya declined, pushing on in search of a decisive result. Her ambition was evident, but so was her fatigue. Eventually, neither player found a breakthrough. After 41 intense moves, the game concluded in a draw through repetition, a fitting result for a match that swung both ways but never fully tipped. Poll Who do you think will win the FIDE Women's World Cup final? Divya Deshmukh Koneru Humpy It's too close to call I don't follow chess For Divya, the disappointment was visible, not from the result itself, but perhaps from knowing she had a chance to land a crucial early blow. Game 2 will see Humpy take the white pieces. With one more classical game left, and possible tiebreaks after that, this final between experience and youth is just getting started.

Shawn Kelce's basement confession fuels wild rumors about Jason and Travis Kelce's secret third brother
Shawn Kelce's basement confession fuels wild rumors about Jason and Travis Kelce's secret third brother (Image Via X) Imagine a hidden Kelce sibling whose story is almost invisible. Recently, a comedic video emerged online featuring a man calling himself Shawn Kelce, saying: 'What's it like being the third Kelce brother? I'm not gonna lie, it's rough sometimes. ' He claims he still lives in their mother Donna's basement. This clip made many people curious. Who is this Shawn? Is he real or is it a joke? The video was made with CBS and stars Donna Kelce in a mock scenario that plays on the fame of Jason and Travis Kelce . The short clip created a mystery and suspense about whether a third Kelce brother truly exists. Shawn Kelce says he is the third Kelce brother living in his mom's basement Shawn Kelce introduces himself as the older brother of NFL stars Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce. In the video (made in February 2023), he says it is hard living in his mom Donna's basement while his brothers are famous. He says, 'it's rough sometimes' and that he has his own podcast called the Kelcecast. People often stumble on his show by accident when looking for Jason and Travis's famous 'New Heights' podcast. In the skit, Donna even jokes she wishes Shawn would move out of her basement. However, credible sources confirm Shawn Kelce is not a real Kelce brother. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Man Took a Selfie With His Dog And The Police Showed Up Immediately Learn More Undo The entire story is a humorous creation. CBS worked with Donna Kelce to produce the video as a playful idea. The character supposedly lives in the basement, feels overlooked, and plays up a fictional narrative of the third Kelce trying but not succeeding. There is no real Shawn Kelce born to Ed and Donna Kelce as a third son. Donna Kelce confirms there are only two Kelce sons, not three Jason Kelce is the older brother, a former center for the Philadelphia Eagles, retired after 13 NFL seasons. Travis Kelce is the younger brother, star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Both are public figures, host the popular 'New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce' podcast, and are often in the media. Their mother Donna actively appears in interviews and social media. There is no evidence of any third sibling in interviews, biographies, or reliable journalism. The fictional Shawn Kelce is simply a satire, designed to spark curiosity and jokes. The comment on his life being 'rough' and living in his mom's basement is part of the script. It plays on fans' recognition of Jason and Travis, but is not based on reality. Thus, all claims about the third Kelce brother are comedic fiction, not factual reporting.
