Ed Sheeran‘s romantic music is likely responsible for dozens of relationships (and probably a few babies, too), but during his concert at Manchester Arena on Sunday, he took it to the next level.
The “Photograph” singer invited his good pal, Rixton‘s Jake Roche, onstage during his performance … and he ended up proposing to his girlfriend, Little Mix member Jesy Nelson!
“A year ago today I met her at manchester arena, so it was only right, with a little help from my friend, that this happened,” Jake captioned a photo of himself down on one knee in front of Jesy. “Best day of my life.”
On Twitter, he continued his excitement of the moment:
Travelled 5 hours to sing our favourite song on his day off. I will never ever be able to repay you. Love you pal. @edsheeran

After the engagement, Jesy took the stage with Little Mix and her bandmates led the crowd in sending her their congratulations:
Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, who is engaged to former One Direction member Zayn Malik, sent the couple her love in an Instagram post.
“It is beautiful to see two people so in love! What a gorgeous couple! I wish you both nothing but happiness! #Congratulations @jesymix14 @jake_rixton ❤️❤️❤️ oh and well done @teddysphotos you were magical! Perrie your little sis! ❤️❤️.”
