And the Shape of You singer took time out from his world tour to cheer Cherry Seaborn on from the sidelines.
Ed, 32, recently told of forming an "unbreakable bond" with her after revealing his childhood sweetheart was diagnosed with a tumour last year.
But Cherry appeared to be back to full strength as she played with the Harleston Magpies in their home game.
Singer-songwriter Ed donned a long black coat and green hat and looked engrossed as he joined other spectators to see the tense match against Canterbury.
It ended with Cherry's team avoiding relegation thanks to a 3-0 win.
Hockey-mad Cherry was selected for the England U21's team in 2012 and helped to win the bronze medal at the European Championships.
She took a break from the game after the couple's first baby. Lyra Antarctica, was born in 2020.
