Telling the story of how the couple met, Ed said: I introduced her to my best mate Johnny (McDaid - of Snow Patrol), who I wrote Shape of You and Bad Habits with. 

Ed, who also asked his closest pal to be his daughter's godfather, continued: 'He's also godfather to Lyra, but yeah I introduced them like nine years ago.

'She just invited me round her house and I just kept going round and then one day I brought Johnny and he didn't come home.'

The Friends star seemed to repay Ed for playing cupid, a year later when she let him stay in her Malibu beach house for free while writing songs.

'There was no rent but I made the bed and cups of tea and things like that. If you're staying at your friend's house, you should treat it like your own,' he told The Sun at the time.

'Well, actually, that's a lie — because I don't make my own bed at home,' he added. 

Ed Sheeran enlisted the help of Courteney recently to tease fans with the possibility of new music coming later this month.

He shared a short clip of himself singing and strumming the guitar while the actress, played a few notes on the piano.
