Cheryl and Ashley Cole divorced after four years of marriage
The pop singer and the Chelsea and England footballer separated in February after public allegations about his infidelity.
They met in 2004 when they both had homes in the same London apartment block.
Cole, 29, eventually got his future wife’s number from Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh, who was friendly with one of the player’s then team-mates at Arsenal.
The pop star/footballer union soon led to them being compared to the Beckhams.
They were engaged in 2005 after he proposed in Dubai and they tied the knot the next year, with an OK! magazine deal.
In early 2008 claims were made that Ashley Cole had been unfaithful during his time with Cheryl.
Their troubled marriage was the subject of much media attention and Cheryl Cole was pictured on a number of occasions without her wedding ring.
The ring was off again in February when she appeared at the Brit Awards performing her chart-topping solo single Fight For This Love, in an apparent sign that the marriage was doomed.
This time it was as a result of stories detailing how pics of an undressed Ashley Cole were texted to a glamour model. He stated the images were sent after he had passed the phone to a friend and forgot to delete the pics he had taken.
Yet days later another woman came forward to say she too had received saucy shots from the same phone months earlier.
And to compound the misery – and pile pressure on the say of the marriage – another woman came forward claiming she had slept with the player last year while he was in the US.
The celebrity couple were one of 29 couples listed this day to be allowed decrees nisi – a preliminary divorce order which could be finalised within weeks if neither side objects – at the Principal Registry of the Family Division in High Holborn, London.
