As the British star continues to rack up awards and general recognition with a worldwide tour, Ed Sheeran's dating life is of the utmost importance to women around the globe, and now it seems like the redhead Brit has just split from his girlfriend of one year, Athina Andrelos.

Earlier this week, Food World News reported that the singer had done a couple of newlyweds a great favor by appearing to sing his hit "Thinking out Loud" for their first dance, and in retrospect, it must've been a tough time for him to attend, as Ed Sheeran's dating nobody at the moment.

According to UK's The Daily Mail, the recent discovery about Ed Sheeran's dating status actually happened during an interview with the same guys who organized the dream wedding for the Australian couple, Kyle and Jackie O, who run a radio show on the KIIS 1065 station.

Zee News reports that, during the interview, obviously Ed Sheeran's dating life came out in conversation, and he admitted that for a while he'd been on a relationship, famously with Athina Andrelos following his well-publicized break-up with "Bright Lights" singer Ellie Goulding.

"I wasn't single, I was in a relationship for a long time," said the redheaded Brit when asked about Ed Sheeran's dating status. He was then asked whether he was still in a relationship or if his status had now changed to single, to which he replied he was available now.

As Idolator reports, Andrelos left a mark on the 24 year-old singer's life all the same, so much so that his biggest hit to date, "Thinking Out Loud," was written with her in mind.

The couple reportedly broke up after getting into a massive argument last month after the 2015 Brit Awards, which became notorious after Madonna famously fell onstage. However, there's no confirmation on when they broke up and why.

While it's most likely that currently the singer's fairly heartbroken, the bright side is that there may be beautiful lyrics ahead for him - and Ed Sheeran's dating availability, which gives hopes to millions of women around the world!
