While Ed has yet to have biological children, his relationship with model and actress Amy Jackson has brought him close to the joys and responsibilities of parenthood through her son, Andreas.
Becoming a Stepfather to Andreas
Andreas, born in September 2019, is the son of Amy Jackson and her former partner, George Panayiotou.
He was introduced to Ed when he was two years old.
Since Ed and Amy began dating in late 2021, Ed has gradually embraced the role of a stepfather to Andreas.
The couple’s engagement in January 2024 marked a significant step in solidifying their family unit.
Ed’s involvement in Andreas’ life has been a heartwarming development, demonstrating his readiness to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood, even before having children of his own.
On the other hand, when Andreas saw a ring on the other finger, he asked his mom,
“Why aren’t you married to Eddie, Mommy?”
Amy replied, “He hasn’t asked me.”
Andreas then said, “Well, I’m going to tell him,” which shows how comfortable he feels around Ed.
In public appearances and social media posts, Ed is often seen interacting lovingly with Andreas, whether enjoying a day out or simply spending quality time together at home.
