Ed Sheeran and Athina Andrelos have split up, and the British singer-songwriter confirmed the news during a radio appearance on "The Kyle and Jackie O Show."
The 24-year-old admitted that the two called it quits after a year of dating, and he certainly wasn't expecting questions about his personal life to pop up.
When asked about his romantic life, the star said, "I wasn't single, I was in a relationship for a long time."
As if that wasn't enough of a validation, Jackie Henderson then proceeded to ask, "Do you want to be single?" to which Sheeran replied "Um," then paused.
"That's interesting. That's the first time I've spoken about that," he said.
Kyle must have thought that Jackie went too far and pointed out that Sheeran looked as if he was going to cry and seemed stunned by the question.
"I didn't even have it written down, I just wondered. I looked at you and thought, 'He's nice. I wonder if he's with anyone?'" Kyle admitted, according to E! Online.
He then urged Sheeran to "play the field" in an attempt to lighten the mood and change the direction of the interview.
Sheeran and Andrelos recently attended the 2015 Brit Awards together, and shortly after, rumors circulated that the two were no longer an item.
Andrelos posted an Instagram photo with Sheeran for his birthday about one month ago, E! Online reported.
