Ed Sheeran is singing sweet songs to a special new lady in his life—well, actually, only half of that is true.

While talking to KIIS FM, the 23-year-old revealed he does have a girlfriend (sorry, he's officially off the market!), and while he refused to give any deets on who the lucky lady is, he did admit that he doesn't serenade her. Um, what?! C'mon, Ed!

"I don't like to sing to her in private because that's really creepy and weird," Sheeran explained. "If someone did that to you, like legitimately, if someone sat you down like, 'Hey baby, I'll come play some...' You'd be a bit awkward right?"

No, Ed, not awkward—except when there's mascara running down our face because the serenade was so beautiful we cried.

Sheeran added that his girlfriend is "nice" and "really cool" and assured us that she has already gotten bestie Taylor Swift's stamp of approval. The English star shared that he's already introduced his new girl to good pal Swift, saying the trio dined at a London restaurant together. "[Taylor] likes her," Sheeran said.

And he's been quite the busy (and lucky) guy. Ed has been surrounded by beautiful ladies lately working on new music. Just last night, Hilary Duff revealed something was in the works with the singer-songwriter by posting a photo of the duo on Twitter and writing, "Soooo this happened and was pretty cool. W/ @edsheeran recording tonight."

Additionally, Sheeran confirmed that a collaboration with Demi Lovato is in the future. "Yeah, yeah. We've been emailing each other so that's a good step forward. I'll be seeing her at the end of the month," he told Hollywire.

Can't wait!
