Ed Sheeran Helps Friend Jake Roche Propose To Girlfriend Jesy Nelson On Stage 

Ed Sheeran is quite the wingman!

The British crooner helped friend and fellow musician Jake Roche, of pop group Rixton, pull off a romantic proposal at one of England’s biggest venues on Sunday.

The “Thinking Out Loud” singer, 24, joined Jake onstage at Manchester Arena before the Key 103 Summer Live concert, where Jakes’s girlfriend Jesy Nelson was scheduled to perform with her band, Little Mix. Unbeknownst to Jesy, the guys had more than just a musical cameo in mind.

Jake told his Instagram followers he’d chosen an important day and location to pop the question.

“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,” the 22-year-old wrote, captioning a picture of himself on bended knee while Ed serenades the couple. “Best day of my life.”

Jesy gushed to Little Mix fans of the swoon-worthy moment on the group’s Instagram page.

“I cannot believe what has just happened! The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us!” she said. “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world rite now literally cannot stop crying! Future Mrs Roche.”

Jake gave a shout-out to his buddy on Twitter following the happy event, and thanked him for being an important part of his and Jesy’s special milestone.

“Travelled 5 hours to sing our favourite song on his day off,” Jake wrote of his friend, who was on a brief break after performing three sold-out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. “I will never ever be able to repay you. Love you pal.”

Ed replied that it was an “absolute pleasure,” and hinted it wouldn’t take much to return the favor.

“Thanks for the KFC,” he quipped.

Jesy isn’t the only Little Mix member with a famous fiance. Her bandmate Perrie Edwards got engaged to former One Direction heartthrob Zayn Malik in 2013.
