The singer, 30, is a big fan of Britney Spears and musicals which led him to think he wasn’t straight when he was younger.
He told Dutch podcast Man, Man, Man: ‘I have a definite feminine side, to the point that when I was a kid I thought I was gay for a bit.

He explained: ‘My wife is super pro women, femininity and as soon as we started dating my life shifted to that.

‘Before Lyra was born it was kind of that but now Lyra’s born it’s even more that.’
Meanwhile, Ed recently spoke about his fears for Lyra as she grows up in the spotlight.
The Shape of You hitmaker worries his fame will have an impact on his firstborn’s lifestyle and relationships.
‘I think there’s gonna be a lot of difficult conversations to have with her early on about how people are going to treat her,’ he told The Project last week.
He added that he believed she will have ‘difficulty trying to figure out who her friends are when she’s a teenager’.
