It's been three months since Ed Sheeran and Athina Andrelos broke up after the "Thinking Out Loud" singer got drunk at a BRIT Awards after party last February. Now, the 24-year-old's friends are reportedly looking for a new "normal" love for him.
"Ed doesn't want a famous girlfriend, he just wants someone down to earth and normal to share his life with," Mirror reportedly quoted a source as saying.
If the acoustic star is looking for a "normal" girlfriend, would it be easier for him to woo his ex-girlfriend instead? After all, they did enjoy a year of their lives together.
Unfortunately, Mirror reported that Sheeran's mates "weren't too keen on Athina and weren't disappointed when they split after the Brit Awards" despite the "Lego House" singer looking devastated when he confirmed the split a month later.

On the other hand, his tattooist friend, Kevin Paul, actually thought Ed Sheeran and Athina Andrelos' "were a really good couple" and that it's a "shame" that they split.
"I think it's kind of hard being him," he told Mirror Celeb earlier this month. "It's not that glamorous. She's a normal girl and being with anyone like Ed [who is famous] is going to be a head f-k. It's going to change your life."
Despite the difference in lifestyle, Paul doesn't think the red-haired superstar would go for a fellow celebrity.
"I think he'll meet another normal girl and settle down but until his career calms down it's not going to go anywhere. It's hard," he explained.
After his tour for "Multiply", Sheeran plans on taking a year and a half long hiatus to just "live for a bit."
That time would be the perfect time for him to pursue a "normal" relationship. Then again, she would have to keep up with his globe-trotting schedule once he releases his third album.
Do you think Ed Sheeran and Athina Andrelos would have worked if not for that fateful BRIT Awards after party?
