Ernie Lounds is a minor character featured in the Apple TV+ show, Ted Lasso. He is portrayed by Craig Conway. He is a reporter for The Sun who asks Rebecca Welton, whom he wrongly refers to as "Rebecca Mannion", at an AFC Richmond press conference what her thoughts are on her husband seeing another woman who revealed herself recently. She responds by saying that her ex-husband, Rupert Mannion, can see whoever he wants now they are not together.
Ernie trying to bait her by mentioning that Rupert was already having an affair with the woman even when Rebecca was still married to him. Rebecca almost take the bait, but she only smiles and sarcastically say that she thought that men can't do multitasks.
It is obvious that Ernie isn't well-liked by other reporters and journalists because he is a tabloid reporter. When he mentions that he is from The Sun, everyone groans but he doesn't care.
