Kodaline's Jay Gets Engaged At Ed Sheeran Gig

Ed Sheeran has been playing Cupid again, this time helping Kodaline bassist Jason Boland propose to his girlfriend.


Ed Sheeran had already told fans to expect something special at his concert at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday (25 July), and he wasn't kidding, as the evening included a surprise marriage proposal.

After calling the Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Kodaline on stage to perform Irish classics including 'The Auld Triangle', he handed the spotlight to Kodaline bassist Jason Boland, saying, "Jay from Kodaline would love to say a few words."

Jay then promptly proposed to his long-term girlfriend Etaoin Corr in front of 80,000 fans, reports NME.

Thankfully, she said yes:

After the concert, Sheeran, ever the gentleman, posted a message on Twitter, congratulating his rocker friend:

Ed Sheeran  ✔@edsheeran
Thank you to Kodaline and Glen Hansard for joining me on stage today to sing some tunes. And congratulations to Jay, what a way to propose !
10:39 PM - 25 Jul 2015


And Jay followed it up with a thank-you to Sheeran:


Jason Boland  ✔@JayKodaline
What a night! Thanks so much @edsheeran for everything! What an amazing way to start the rest of our lives
2:52 PM - 26 Jul 2015 · Dublin City, Ireland, Ireland

It's the second time in a week that Sheeran has played Cupid for a celebrity pal - on 19 July he serenaded Rixton's Jake Roche and Little Mix's Jesy Nelson with an acoustic version of 'Tenerife Sea' as they got engaged onstage at Manchester Arena.

Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
