Ashley Cole and Cheryl Tweedy married on July 15, 2006, some two years after they’d begun dating. Their marriage hit a rough patch in 2008, when allegations surfaced that the superstar footballer had cheated on his WAG—supposedly with three other women—but they ultimately toughed it out until September 2010, when Ashley and Cheryl finally divorced.
So who is Ashley Cole’s ex-wife, Cheryl Cole? The 29-year-old style icon and former “X Factor” judge—both on the U.K. and U.S. versions of the show—was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, on June 30, 1983. As a member of Girls Aloud, Cheryl nabbed 20 hit U.K. singles in a row, and two of the group’s six studio albums have reached No. 1 on the British charts. She’s also released three solo albums and notched as many chart-topping singles. Over the years, she’s appeared on the cover of such magazines as British Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, and she’s endorsed L’Oreal.

“Who is Ashley Cole?” American readers not up on their soccer might be asking. The 32-year-old left-back plays for both Chelsea and the English national team, and in 2010, he was voted England Player of the Year. He’s competed in three World Cup competitions and is widely regarded as one of his generation’s finest defenders. Like many footballers, however, he’s got something of a bad-boy image, and in February 2011, following a couple of minor brushes with the law, he made headlines for accidentally shooting a 21-year-old student with an air rifle.
