10 Football Stars Who Dated Celebrities
6. Ashley Cole
Ashley Cole is a Stepney, London product who is known for his outstanding defensive play. In fact, the popular left back is almost universally hailed as one of the best defensive footballers of his generation. The 38-year-old was a member of England's national team from 2001 to 2014 and has won 107 caps as an international player.
Cole's love life has received significant media attention, so much so that it's a bit difficult to separate fact from fiction.
His most high-profile (and longest-lasting) relationship was his marriage to singer Cheryl Tweedy, who was a member of the pop group Girls Aloud. The union, which was fraught with allegations of adultery directed at the footballer, lasted from 2006 to 2010.
Following their divorce, Cole has been linked to several women including model Kayla Harris along with reality stars Anna Kelle and Pascal Craymer.
He is currently dating an Italian model named Sharon Canu who gave birth to his child in 2018.
