Ed Sheeran’s answer was probably: “It depends on when you marry, because there will soon be a few new options.”
In the Caption of his still current Instagram post on March 5, there are also some clues. Among other things, he calls on his fans to look closely at the pictures and read the inscription of the T-shirts in the second picture. The song title “Azizam” can be clearly seen on one of the tops.

Play next symbol?
Since his debut album Plus (+) in 2011, Ed Sheeran has published five albums with mathematical symbols: Multiply (X) (2014), Divide (÷), Equals (=) (2021) and subtract () (2023). So far, the title choice has not only had recognition value, but is also said to have reflected different phases of his life. In 2023, Autumn Variations appeared, with which he finally said goodbye to the “Mathematics-A-A-A-Afar”.
Sheeran had already indicated in the past that he would want to complete the mathematical topic according to subtract (-). Nevertheless, according to “NME”, he would continue to stick to symbolism. “I will do ten symbol plates,” he said in 2022. “The next five will have nothing to do with math.”
