Ed Sheeran made a rare appearance with his wife Cherry Seaborn as they watched his beloved team Ipswich FC take on Leicester City on Tuesday.
The singer, 35, appeared in high spirits as he cheered on Ipswich from the stands of Portman Road stadium and even had a camera out to take photos of the game.
Cherry, 34, rocked a blue baseball cap and chatted away to Ed.
And the couple, who wed in 2019, had plenty to smile about as Ipswich FC beat Leicester 3 -1 in the second round of the EFL Cup.
It comes as a tour crew member attempted to flog a watch given by Ed for £20,000.
The Tudor Black Bay 58 was commissioned by Ed Sheeran as a gift for his Mathematics Tour crew, with only 130 made in total.

It also has mathematics symbols in the centre.
Listed on Bolton Auction Rooms, an opening bid is set at £9,000 and is estimated to fetch anywhere between £15,000 and £20,000.
The outing comes after the singer unveiled plans for a wildlife pond at his lavish recording studio complex.
The multimillionaire pop star wants to dig up farm land to create the feature which is described in planning documents as ‘a small habitat pond’ to boost biodiversity at his £1.1million studios which have been dubbed the ‘countryside Abbey Road’.
Observers have pointed out that, at more than 9,000 square feet, the pond is actually closer in size to an Olympic swimming pool.
And that has raised fears that the water feature could encourage rock stars using the facilities to dive in and take a dip – promoting ‘a wild lifestyle’ instead.
The plans include putting in a large wooden boardwalk designed to conceal filtration system equipment and the planting of wildflowers.

The singer was previously at the centre of a furious backlash after videos were posted of him diving into a ‘wildlife pond’ at his sprawling £3.7million super-estate which he built nearby and has become known as Sheeranville.
Ed had been given approval for the £500,000 kidney-shaped pond back in 2016 saying it would help ‘support nature conservation by providing a natural habitat for insects, amphibians and birds’ and in particular ‘dragonflies and water beetles’.
It was granted on the understanding that the pond would not be used for swimming.
The singer now wants to build the new pond on the estate of his 17th century farmhouse in Suffolk.
It has become the focus of his latest ambitious development project which has been dubbed ‘Sheeranville II’.
A planning statement submitted to Mid Suffolk Council says: ‘The proposal is for the creation of a small habitat pond with variable water levels, that will create a diverse wildlife area within the land. The proposed pond will be located within an existing arable field which is currently unused.
‘There is a raised bund proposed on the north side that will be planted with mixed native scrub, and a timber boardwalk on the south side that will conceal the filtration system equipment.
‘The margins surrounding the pond will be enhanced with a wildflower lawn mix.’
According to the application the pond would make ‘good use of an unused area of agricultural land’ and would ‘enhance the diversity of the wildlife, flora and fauna in the area’.
But one local said: ‘Ed’s got previous history when it comes to wildlife ponds.
‘We don’t know what type of musicians will be recording there but rock stars have been known to get up to all sorts of antics including driving Rolls Royces into swimming pools so we’ll be keeping a close eye on things.’
The planning proposal, which officials are yet to rule on, adds that there is no intention to ‘stock the pond with fish, or to permit fishing’ and there ‘are no residents nearby that would be adversely affected by the proposals’.
Ed – who is worth an estimated £410million – has had long-running disputes with neighbours since he bought a detached six-bedroom farmhouse near his childhood home just outside the Suffolk market town of Framlingham back in 2012.
