When Sheeran was asked if he is an honorary member of the group, with a chuckle, he said: "Of course," confirming that the British singer also gets to hang out with the female gang. "It's not a vaginas-only club."

Since he discussed about the opposite sex, the "Photograph" singer, who dated Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt, also shared something regarding his love interests. The British singer said he wishes he could keep his private life private at times - especially when it comes to his love life. "I just never want to be public. It always, always backfires," he admits. "I really wish I could disappear at moments that I'm with a significant other. It's none of anyone's f---ing business."
