Singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran is a real romantic not just with his songs but also in his actions. And on July 19, he once again proved it in front of a crowd of the Manchester Arena when he sang his hit single Thinking Out Loud to help his pal, Jake Roche (Rixton) to propose to his girlfriend that night.
Us Weekly reported that Sheeran invited his friend Rocher over the stage along with his girlfriend Jesy Nelson from the UK girl band Little Mix. It was a romantic evening for Roche when he got down on one knee and popped the question to his girlfriend while Thinking Out Loud was playing on the background; as it was being sung live by Sheeran. Roche said that it has been a year since he first met Nelson at the Manchester Arena, so it was only proper that he did the proposal there with the help of his singer friend. This was also his caption when he posted the proposal on Instagram. He added the words, "Best day of my life."
Roche said that Sheeran even traveled 5 hours on his off just to help him out on this event and that he won't be able to repay his friend for such generosity. E! got the reaction of Nelson after the whole thing took place and she said, "I cannot believe what has just happened! The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us." She also felt like she is the luckiest girl in the world after the proposal. E! said that the Little Mix singer was very happy that she even cried because it was completely something that can't be avoided. Fans were ecstatic and went all giggly while Roche proposed to Nelson.
