Ashley Cole: 'My life has been ruined'

By Lucy Hutchings  on Tuesday 2 March 2010

Ashley Cole - Celebrity News - Marie Claire

After keeping quiet on his split from wife Cheryl, Ashley Cole finally broke his silence yesterday, exclaiming 'my life has been ruined'.

The 29-year-old Chelsea footballer is holed up in a French sports rehabilitation clinic, where he is receiving treatment for a broken ankle.

Emerging from his balcony to see waiting press below he shouted: 'Why doesn't everyone just leave me alone? Just **** off, my life has been ruined.'

Friends claim that although Cole has been spotted without his wedding ring, he was still clinging to the hope that his wife might take him back.

CHERYL & ASHLEY: 10 BEST MOMENTS

Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source from within the clinic revealed: 'He spends most of his time texting on his mobile phone and calling his family... It sounds like he is doing everything he can to try and turn things around at home... He seems like a little boy lost.'

Cheryl's management confirmed that the couple were splitting last week, after a string of women came forward claiming that they had enjoyed flings with the footballer.

The X Factor judge is yet to comment, and has cancelled a series of television appearances to promote her new single Parachutes, in the aftermath.

His life may be ruined, but if the kiss-and-tell stories are true, then it is his own fault. You reap what you sow.
Comment by Martha on March 02 09:51

GOOD!!! What an idiot.
Comment by kate on March 02 11:29

I agree with the comments by Martha and Kate, respectively.

He has no-one else to blame but himself. Are we now 'supposed' to feel sorry for him? I think not!
Comment by Gail on March 02 12:21

What does he expect, and how does he think Chery l feels. He chose to ruin his own life, she had hers runied for her...by him! What a self pitying baby and a incredibly selfish statement, just shows even now he is more concerned about his own feelings rather then hers!
Comment by keri on March 02 12:21

Take some responsibility here, Ashley. It's not 'my life has been ruined' it's 'I've ruined my life'!
Comment by Amanda on March 02 12:27

He should have thought about that before he did what he did.
Comment by Jade on March 02 12:29

Aw what, a shame, you made your bed now lie in it. Serves you right for wanting to have your cake and eat it!
Comment by Lisa on March 02 12:29

Mayb we should use facebook to promote her single coz it's brill and a shame it has been overshadowed by his cheating
Comment by Dee on March 02 12:35

Articulate, charming yuong man isn't he?.
Shame he didn't say that to the press when him and Cheryl were selling their Wedding and their souls to the glossies, or when they did that cheese on toast ad for the National Lottery. When you use your marriage as PR tool you have to expect everyone to be just as interested when it goes downhill, I would never speak about my relationship to the press because it will come back and haunt you.
I feel sorry for Tess Daly, she rarely speaks about her marriage and lives quietly with her family, she has been very dignified throughout the whole sh*tty episode.
Comment by Fabienne on March 02 12:36

His life is ruined well he has noone to blame but himself he cheated end of he had a fantastic women and has now lost her and any respect people had for him you parade your wedding in the glossy mags and then cheat and expect noone to be interested I have no sympathy for him but I do feel for Cheryl xx
Comment by zoe on March 02 12:36

hey Martha, Kate, are u both self-appointed perfect individuals? everyone makes mistakes...even huge clangers and repeatedly so. wouldn't it be easier to focus on the children at this time/ on the affected families...on the grieving couple? what do u say? let us support C & A and family at dis time...plzzzzz
Comment by Jojo Law on March 02 12:43

I for one don't have any sympathy for him.

So his life has been ruined? Well who's fault is that? Nobody but his own. Maybe if he could keep it in his trousers neither of them would be having to go through this now.

Grow up Ashley - if you play the game then you should be prepared to pay the price!
Comment by Dyson on March 02 12:45

15 million in the bank and his life's ruined ! Think what a real divorce involving children's custody is like ! Team tweedy !
Comment by clive on March 02 12:50

Well its certainly good to see the comments from martha, kate, gail and keri. They of course are no doubt role models for society and have probable never made a mistake! maybe you should all consider running for parlimament, we certainly need more people like you! Funny how no one has mentioned When Ms Cole hammered some bar maid into the ground for not talking to her in the right way! Mr Cole has made a mistake and has paid a price, he is reacting in a normal way, as we all would if the papers were watching your ever move. IF the reports are right, i blame the mother in law, why do mother in laws always interfere.
Comment by steven on March 02 12:51

I do not agree with what Ashley Cole has done! i personally beleive that this marriage can survive. cherly and Ashley were young teenagers falling in love, not with just each other but all with fame, money. I think that is difficult in itself especially coming the lifestlye there use to live that it difficult in itself. I do not beleive these two young people has had the real chance of getting to know each other. I am sorry Cherly Simon Cowell flirting with you, don,t you think that this will intimidate Ashly Cole. You need to look at yourself and think where you went wrong also. Cherly and Ashly do know life for others, that include your parents,press, fame,friends. people will give you bad advice for a number of reasons (JEOLOUSY) I pray you work things out. Counsellor.
Comment by ALEX on March 02 12:55

"Idiot" is too good a word for this joker.
Comment by Christopher on March 02 12:57

His problem stems from his issues of identity (note Tiger Woods). If he were confident in himself he would not have dated&married a woman who could freely use racial insults and has half her family incarcerated. Leopards don't change their spots! IN my opinion she saw Cole as an entree into celebrity world where she could seek to be the next Vicky Beckham. He was probably so dim he could not see the plan that Cheryl and Mum had hatched. Now we see her PR offensive as the "hard done by wife" but who moves in their mum when going through a diffcult patch with their partner! Remember Guy Ritchie didn't want anything and made 30mill. Ashley hold onto your shoes!
Comment by Lia on March 02 13:02

I am sick and tired of reading about footballers and other high profile personalities that cheat on their partners and then play the innocent card. They need to spend time in the real world and take responsibility for their own actions.Cheryl is better off without him .. she doesnt need him holding her back. Keep your head up Cheryl and you will no doubt leave ashley way behind you in a shadow where he belongs... he could snuggle up with John Terry!!
Comment by Mike on March 02 13:09

First it was "My Mother in Law ruined my marriage" Now it is "My life is ruined" What about "I am sorry Cheryl" What goes round comes around!!!!
Comment by Karen on March 02 13:15

Its just plain sad and bad situation they have both got into....

But...plenty before and plenty after..no angels involved.
Comment by anon on March 02 13:18

What a selfish little boy! Cheryl has made the right decision, once trust is destroyed there is nothing left.
Comment by Shirley on March 02 13:20

....No one will ever know the real truth of it all..I would hazzard a guess..public eye or not....just missmatched perchance.?
Comment by anon on March 02 13:20

Ashley
I think I speak for a good number of the British public when I say that it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. You have cheated for a good few years on the pitch and the latest revelations would seem to indicate that it's been pretty much the same story off it as well.
Excuse us if we save our sympathy for your family and your lovely wife.
Comment by jb on March 02 13:28

Your life is ruined??? Come down to earth cole & realise you've just been a spoilt brat!!!
Comment by Darren on March 02 13:29

I agree with everyone above. I get really annoyed over these overpaid footballers thinking they don't have to stick to any form of moral rules and basically do what they like, when they like. I've never been a massive fan of Cheryl's but no woman should have to put up with this kind of public humiliation.
Comment by Sam on March 02 13:36

HIM
Comment by charmaine on March 02 13:36

Dear Ashley, As a life long Chelsea fan I am sad your life has been ruined. If you want to know who is to blame, look in the mirror.
Comment by John Clarke on March 02 13:40

ONCE A CHEATER, ALWAYS A CHEATER... I feel sorry for Cheryl, she seems to work a lot while her "husband" is doing the dirt on her. Shame on you, footballers, for thinking you are worth much more than everyone else and footballer's wife for letting them do that (John Terry's wife). A big thanks to Cheryl for keeping her head up.
Comment by a+ on March 02 13:47

He had the job,the wife and the money that a few of us would envy...., and what did he do spoiled it all by being a complete prat!! He so deserved getting dumped-Cheryl took him back the first and look how he treated her. He is a selfish,greedy man who is now whining about the state of his life....., Grow up Ashley before you have absoutely nothing in your life.
Comment by copper on March 02 13:49

Very well said Amanda. Ashley has no one else to blame but himself.He should have thought well about his actions and escapades well before playing stupid.
Being a man myself i bet he is now really sorry for his foolishness and am sure he has leant his lessons. Its now left for cheryl to decide if she wants him back for the sake of love afterall we must all learn to " Fight Fight fight for this love ".
Comment by Tunji on March 02 13:50

he probably means 'his life is ruined' is ruined because his ankle is broken & may be a worry about his football career....wouldn't put that past him him rathre that worried about his marriage!!
Comment by Andi on March 02 13:50

Cheryl please forgive him, marriage is tolerance and endurance. Those who tell you to divorce will laugh at you tomorrow. Men will start toasting you from left to right. Look at Jennifer after separating from Brad Pitt, she has still not settled though equally pretty and rich. Men will rush to you to make history! All men cheat, so how many will you dump? Fight for this love is a lesson for all women. Learn from the other women- Tiger wood, Beckham, Hillary, Ronnie, and Kay- etc. you will gain more respect from the public, don’t read what is on the press!
Comment by jemeasakwe on March 02 13:52

Well said Amanda!!!!!
Comment by lily on March 02 13:53

There's 2 sides to every story. Sh1t happens. That's life. Everyone makes mistakes, you just have to try to learn from them.
Comment by KAY on March 02 13:55

Why doesn't Gail think?
Comment by James on March 02 13:57

I think Ashley had enough of Cheryl shes gone too thin and was a bigger celeb than him. just like any marriage it gets boring especially when the other half move there parents in. think the only thing hes worried about is not playing in the world cup.
Comment by Ellis on March 02 14:10

He did it to himself... What goes around comes around! She is best of without him.
Comment by Sally on March 02 14:30

I agree with the comments already placed. He should have thought about what he was going to lose before doing what he did. He had a beautiful wife but was not happy with that. If his life is ruined like he thinks(which I doubt)he has no one to blame but himself. Its easy to blame other people but he needs to take the blame himself. Cheryl would be silly to have him back. She is a very attractive women and could do with someone treating her the way she deserves to be treated.
Comment by Susan on March 02 14:35

Who cares abour his life?? He is no one to blame but himself. He had a stunning wife and a future with her. He chose to think with his pants...How does he think she feels, this is not the first time and I bet it wont be the last time we hear of him cheating. Just like JT...to caught up in their own hype to live in the real world...
Comment by KB on March 02 14:39

no point in moanng about his ruined life yopu play with fire your'e gonna ger burnt its his own fault
david
Comment by jedimaster1007 on March 02 14:43

Like everybody in our society today who gets caught doing something wrong it is always somebody else's fault. Bless.
Boundaries and responsibility just isn't in their vocabulary
Comment by Philip James on March 02 14:43

well all i can say like all men cant keep hands of other women and cant keep it in his pants think of your poor wife what have she done to have a prick like you sorry but you have done all this and blaming your mother in law did she tell you to go with other women , i dont think so so it your own fault i just hope cheryl dont take you back
Comment by beverley hall on March 02 14:47

What he means is I have ruined Cheryls life by doing the dirty on her. And does he really believe there are very many people who feel sorry for him, well maybe those from chelsea football club and his mum.
Comment by NannyD on March 02 14:50

It's his own fault, so quit whining about it.
Comment by Steve Harvey on March 02 14:54

Wait a minute how many kiss-and-tell stories do we get from men? Everybody is assuming Chery has been an angel is this so called marriage which in reality never was. What Chery did and all those hints of her flirting Cole will never know. Her marriage, love and life is all about celebrity and never had much time for marriage only appeared with Cole for photo shots, I pity the next guy who marries her. Ok I understand Iam only a man contributing to a magazine read mostly by women, I await the backlash!
Comment by Vincent on March 02 15:02

And??
I hope Mr Cole is realising his life is down to him and how he messes it up. No one is to blame but Mr cole. No sympathy in this direction. He messed up twice now so when does he actually consider learning.
Comment by Sally on March 02 15:03

This is truly taking the biscuit crumbs . . . First he blames Cheryl's mother and now "his" life has been ruined? Ashley, you're nothing but a deluded idiot who can't keep t in his trousers. His lack of ball control ain't limited to the pitch.
Comment by Mandi on March 02 15:07

You may have come from nothing, but you now have a very privilaged lifestyle, you have a lovely wife, though no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors, and I wish you both well, but if you have hurt her then I hope you reap what you have sown
Comment by sla on March 02 15:12

"Once bitten , twice shy!" Ashley got caught/found out before She has feelings too, not self-pity though! He put himself in this scenario & acted ignorantly to previous warning, enough said.

Comment by thomas on March 02 15:14

I read somewhere that he's using the 'addiction' excuse.
what a pile of rubbish.
there is no excuse for cheating. its appalling and for someone in the public eye to do it is even worse. if he gets away with it, it will just make it seem more ok for other blokes to do it too.
i feel so bad for cheryl that she has been humiliated by this pathetic excuse for a man.
Comment by Lauren on March 02 15:17

I had an ex husband like Ashley.....that's why he's an ex husband!! Good luck to Cheryl!
Comment by Michelle on March 02 15:17

EVERYBODY DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE BUT NOT A THIRD OR FOURTH. DON'T AGREE WITH JOJO, ASHLEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS ZIP UP.
Comment by MAGS on March 02 15:19

Men never learn they couldn't be faithful if they tried - Ashley had his chance and he blew it - I am so on Cheryl's side she doesn't need him he's too unrealiable - perhaps now he'll learn to keep it in his trousers and not put it around so much
Comment by Pam on March 02 15:20

it sounds as if he's blaming someone else for putting his whatever in an other woman..no one forced him to cheat he did that all for his own slefish reasons... yes his life might have been ruined but he only has himslef to blame... she on the other hand can justifiably blame him for ruining her life and distroying her dreams and plans for their future together.
Comment by debbie on March 02 15:30

Why don't people like him learn?If you don't believe your character is strong enough to stay faithful in a long-term relationship-Don't attempt one! Save ALOT of heartache not to mention the hassle! Simple!

Btw Ashley if you are reading this I've found you a great new quote on your marriage (sorry divorce) insurance:

Simples Eeek/Boo hoo!
Comment by Myles on March 02 15:36

I,m sick of hearing about the pair of them,i can,t believe they are still getting front page headlines,when the disaster in Chile,and our boys in Iraq and Afghanistan are being treated as minor stories.
Comment by beatrice on March 02 15:38

WHAT GOES ROUND COMES ROUND, BE A MAN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS, YOU ARE A CHEATING RAT, AND SHOW A VERY BAD EXAMPLE TO THE YOUNG LADS THAT LOOK UP TO YOU. TAKE THE FLACK LIKE A MAN AND STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF, ITS ALL OF YOUR OWN MAKING.
Comment by TALDIDAN on March 02 15:39

she was always to good for you.

benjamin netimyahoo.
Comment by ben on March 02 16:04

He should have thought about this before acting like a selfish idiot! Good for you Cheryl. You can do so much better. I know you are probably hurting a lot, but try not to turn back - you are worth a million of him! Be strong girl and you will get there. x
Comment by Michelle on March 02 16:09

You just don't know what to believe because there's conflicting stories coming out of the mags thats say she will take him bk or not as the case maybe but i just think as its happened to me then at the end of the day only they know what they want to do and whatever is decided everyone will have there own camp that their loyalty is with
Comment by karen picton on March 02 16:13

There are a lot of things going on in life but I personally wouldn't accept someone cheating on me as a leopard never changes it's spots. It's a lack of respect and responsibility between two people knowing that either of them can or has cheated on the other. A man does it to a woman and a woman does it too if people are not happy in their marriage they shouldn't have married in the first place.
Comment by shazza on March 02 16:15

What a silly little and thoroughly selfish boy! No moral fibre and no backbone, either.

Perhaps, Mr Cole will reflect on his behaviour and realize that he is leading a very privileged life. Along with great privilege goes great responsibility. Perhaps he will also grow up now.


Comment by Rose on March 02 16:17

WHAT CAN YOU SAY.HE HAS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF.I SURE DONT FEEL SORRY FOR HIM.HE AS A WIFE THAT I AM SURE ANY GUY WOULD BE PROUD OF AND WOULD WANT TO HANG ON TO.I KNOW I WOULD.FORGET HER STATUS SHE IS ONE HELL OF A LADY//////////
Comment by ken on March 02 16:20

He is the architect of his own downfall.

Keep it in your pants!
Comment by Florence of arabia on March 02 16:20

Cheryl has done the right thing in showing her unfaithful hubby the door, how much can a person take and there is always the possibility of contacting a disease from unfaithful partners, keep smiling girl and hold your head up high.
Comment by ann on March 02 16:28

should have kept ur pants on. no bloody sypathy from me, or , i guess, 000s of ppl.
Comment by a.monaghan on March 02 16:29

I'm not being funny but he's not exactly crying on his own down the pub, and Cheryl is not a single mum now left to raise two kids in a council flat. If she was living off the old Kent Road none of you lot would be interested.
She's crying into 10 million and he's just embarassed. Who gives two hoots.
Comment by Fabienne on March 02 16:32

it must be awful for Ashley to know that his wife does not understand the needs of a football GOD. What he needs is a wife he can abuse as he wishes without interferance from the media, family or friends. Poor Ashley
Comment by susan on March 02 16:39

men. they think they can have it all. the beautiful wife, the beautiful life, as much nooky on the side as they want and that everything will carry on perfectly for them. got news for you gents. doesnt work like that. women are no longer possessions. you play away from home, get found out, your life is ruined. who ruined you may well ask. just look inside yourselves.
Comment by stewball on March 02 16:45

Leave Ashley ALONE!
He admits he's done wrong and all he wants is cheryl back!
So for everyone whos back-chatting about him LEAVE HIM ALONE!
Comment by Rose on March 02 16:55

If i were you ashley i would just shut up and get on with your football, if you think anyone is going to feel sorry for you, you must be more stupid than you look!
Comment by chris on March 02 16:57

i dont feel sorry him and he is the one who ruined'his live no one else. if i feel sorry 4 someone it is cheryl
Comment by lima on March 02 17:15

maybe he didnt cheat, these ladies just saay he did, so they can get media attention
Comment by l.m on March 02 17:15

Who on earth, other than himself, feel sorry for Ashley Cole??
Comment by J.T. on March 02 17:26

Many years ago, a guy at my work maintained that those who use their penis as a compass are going to wind up in trouble
Comment by BD on March 02 17:30

I think Ashley Cole must be a very stupid person, sending naked photos of himself to a glamour model and asking her not to tell anyone.
Comment by Morag on March 02 17:30

Stop playing the victim here Ashley......Either deal with your issues or stay single.......Why don't you concentrate on your football for a change...You are like many of our footballers of today spoiled brats with more money than sense....Why don't you try and set a good example to all the youngsters who idolise you and pay your vast wages!!!

Comment by Chrissie on March 02 17:32

You have to look at both sides, Cheryl cole needed some lessons in holding down a successful marriage, what role model did she have??? Her mother, i think its her mother who's to blame for all this mess, and cheryl's selfish behaviour, she should have realised that she was a married woman,and hence pay more attention to her husband, but instead she chose to put X-FACTOR and her career ahead of everything. I hope Ashley Cole gets someone suitable for him. Get well soon Ashley
Comment by mick on March 02 17:43

What on earth would he want to have an affair when he had such a beautiful, clever wife - the grass is never greener. He deserves everything he gets.
Comment by Marion on March 02 17:51

Never mind Ash. Maybe your 120 a week might soften the blow a bit. I hope it doesn't. Hurt, hurt, hurt. You want sympathy from real people? No chance. I hope you and your mate(Terry) rot. AND....I don't even like your Missus
Comment by Davy Pick on March 02 17:54

If all the stories are true, then he deserves this. Good luck to Cheryl, she deserves better.
Comment by Claire in the UK on March 02 18:07

' your life has been ruined????'
For a raggedy arsed,not very tall pipsqweek, he certainly is feeling sorry for himself. He who earns more money in one week than the average worker earns in 5 years, lives the life of riley and is pampered 24/7, my heart bleeds for him - NOT! Get over yourself cole.
Comment by purleeze on March 02 18:19

Ashley Cole is a complete fool he cheats on a woman as amazing as Cheryl numerous times and then expects her to stand by him, what a complete muppet, no guy would need to cheat on a woman as amazing as cheryl
Comment by T man on March 02 18:35

What a stain- serves ya right
Comment by So what on March 02 18:35

Why no one talks about Ms Cole having two men amongst three women in a hotel room enjoying themselves!

Surely, these burly ment were not reading 'Bible' to them!

I could be mistaken. If that is the case, I stand corrected.
Comment by Shalli on March 02 18:43

Yes he has been foolish, perhaps having too much of the high life. But then again most of the women I've dated have cheated on men, so maybe it's a point for the blokes.
Comment by Martin on March 02 18:44

I think Ashley should grow up and not blame other people.Think Cheryl went out of her way to make it work.Wishing her all the best and hope she meets someone who knows how to treat her better than Ashley.
Comment by ElIZABETH on March 02 18:47

Yeah, all the tears are coming out now that he has been caught out. Bet he thought he was a big man while he was 'doing the naughty', and his mates knowing about it, thinking 'what a guy! Yeah, us guys like the idea of having a bit on the side but when found out it's a different story, we then realise what we are throwing away, and all for what!? A bit on the side with some some female who will just walk away and go onto someone new.Not worth it mate, but you are going to find out the hard way now. Good on Cheryl for not taking this.Maybe next time you( Ashley) meet someone you fall in love with you will think twice about straying.No pity for you mate, you are an idiot of the highest calibre.
Comment by Dave on March 02 19:10

Idoit!!!you had a beautiful wife that loved you loads that wanted to start a family with you!!!could you not be happy with what you had???what's wrong with people with money??can that not be happy for the finer things in life,health,love,happiness and loving family.You have nobody but yourself to blame hell I have been single for neally two years now.I don't go out wrecking other people's lives just because I can't keep it in my pants!!!!grow up and stop moaning you have reaped what you sown.
Comment by Thomas on March 02 19:11

What the hell she saw in him,i do not know,typical chauvanist male wants to sow his oats when and where ever,and still keep in a relationship.
Comment by ian pickup on March 02 19:23

Oh my heart bleeds for you Ashley. You ruined everything for yourself. Grow up!
Comment by Debi on March 02 19:34

Aw poor Ashley, my heart bleeds...stupid d*** deserves all the misery in the world. Cheryl deserves better than that bed hopping b*****.
Comment by Cher on March 02 19:37

A spoilt overratted footballer, earning far too much money, getting far too much publicity (as does Cheryl by the way) it takes alot more to have your life ruined when you can buy your way to a better life. Totally out of touch and not very intelligent (that goes for both of them)
Comment by sadamski72 on March 02 19:41

why can't you all mind your own buisness get out of the peoples lives let them sort it out themselves are you all relatives of ashley and cheryl.
Comment by poochiloo on March 02 19:43

OK... but everyone is forgetting why Ms Tweedy was eager to become Mrs Cole to prove a point - remember????
Comment by Marsha on March 02 19:44

Deserves everything he gets - he took all the love Cheryl gave him and threw it right back at her - shes far too good for him - he's not "worth it".
Comment by Johanne 19 on March 02 19:59

You got what you asked for! Simple!!! It's not Sex-Addiction, you just can't handle your drink man! Sober men don't do such idiotic things...
Comment by Gita on March 02 20:05

Again another overpaid sportsman/celebrity thinking he can do whatever he pleases without any consequences. Is there any chance we can hear the last of the Cole saga as most people coudn't care less.
Comment by Janice on March 02 20:12

karma !!!!!!!!
Comment by marie on March 02 20:17

If he had kept his ******in his trousers none of this would have happened, I thought marriage vows meant a bit more than a couple of years before he decided he wanted his cake and eat it!! Him and John Terry are a right pair, neither can keep it where it is supposed to be!!!
Comment by Heather on March 02 20:45

The problem of "playing away" footballers in terms of their personal lives is easily solved. The football managers and football team executives around the world need to firm up a protocol on this. If all agreed "zero tolerance" on extra marital affairs then that would be that, there would be no where else to go, and likely the end of the highly paid footballer's career. This sounds tough, and would put much of the media out of the business of reporting the "fling" stories, but there it is, if the football organisations internationally stamped out the possibilitity of extra marital flings of all kinds, then that would be that, forever.



Comment by elizabeth oakley on March 02 20:53

Who really cares!! More money than brains and still wants more. Grow up and accept responsibility. Being able to kick a football isn't a get me out of jail free card. At last, Cheryl has shown some respect for herself.
Comment by Fiona on March 02 21:00

He has done Cheryl a favour now she can move on and find someone who treats her with the respect that she derserves.
Comment by Rachel on March 02 21:19

Well what did he expect? does he and all the other so called celebs think they can get away with it BOO HOO get a life Ashley
Comment by cynthia on March 02 21:53

What a shame, does anyone care. Does he think Cheryl feels any better than he does and she's done nothing wrong, except believing that he was sorry first time. He has no-one else to blame but himself, so get over it you idiot.
Comment by mary on March 02 22:13

he ruined his own life, cherly dont deserve it he need to grow up and be a real man and stop cheating I love them both and I wish they get back together.
Comment by arlene on March 02 22:21

You deserve everything you get Ashley. What a total idiot, Cheryl is way better off without him!
Comment by Cazzaroo on March 02 22:23

She is mad to have him back..and if she gives him another go she is no better than him. Once,twice a cheat always a CHEAT

What a loser. Get a grip you moaning git. You ruined your own life. Idiot.
Comment by Treble9 on March 02 22:33

How or why she stayed with him at all is a mystery .... he always thought he could do whatever he wanted and she would be there if he had a moment to spare ... so deserves to be on his own ... now he can play away or pay the way ... to get his kicks. She is a beautiful girl.. can have anyone she desires ..
Comment by Audrey Stevens on March 02 22:46

Should have learn to keep it in your pants, mate! What a LOSER.
Comment by BLT on March 02 23:01

hes acting like a victim here - instead of being apologetic its like hes done nothing wrong, get a grip and admit your wrongdoings and apologise publicly!
Comment by clare on March 02 23:20

You're life has ben ruined?!?!!
A young, fit and wealthy sportsman with a beautiful, young, fit and wealthy wife? What happened? Oh yes, you ****ed it up by thinking you could get away with whatever you wanted rather than being a decent human being. You deserve to rot. Goddamn parasite!!
Comment by Andrew on March 02 23:34

From a mans point of view, I could have told you he would cheat again, because he is so in love with himself and he thinks that all women will just fall into bed at the drop of his wallet on the floor. His thoughts are only of himself,spolt brat.
Comment by Steve on March 02 23:40

Don't tell me, next he'll be saying he's a 'sex addict' and booking himself into a re-hab centre (luxury spa) where he can be assured of sympathy and attention at this oh so difficult time.
He's not a self pitying, immature, egotist. He's 'ill'.

Comment by Andy on March 03 04:04

SHAME! Thats what happens when you let your d*** think for you, and just because you can kick a ball, makes you no different.
I hope she takes you to the cleaners.......
Comment by Alan on March 03 04:23

This greedy footballer ruined his own life when he left Arsenal for the big bucks of Chelsea, he actually beleived he was special, but his true colours have shown through, he id just another of Chelseas grubby group of Players. He controls his life, no one else so when associating blame he should stare very hard in to the mirror!!
Comment by Roy on March 03 05:22

there is no excuse for cheating..you ruined your own life and hers.. hope cheryl never takes you back you cheating scumbag
Comment by hev on March 03 05:44

Whinge, whinge, whinge!!! My young children accept more responsibility for doing wrong than Ashley has!!! All I can say is good for Cheryl, she is worth 100 times him!!!!
Comment by Sarah on March 03 06:31

Comment by sue ingle on March 03 08:41

Interesting how its only women commenting on this...any excuse for a bit of man bashing!
fair enough though, he's a rat and will always be a rat.
Comment by marco on March 03 08:44

At last Sheryl has seen the light and dumped this loser. Cole had everything, money, career, fame ,a popstar wife yet like John Terry he can't couldn't resist playing away.

Comment by IanM on March 03 08:50

what about your wife's life? you need to take responsibility for you actions. You also need to realise you are a role model and are setting a bad example to all the children thats look up to you!!! CHERYL GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE -- YOU HAVE THE NATIONS SUPPORT

Comment by dean wise on March 03 09:01

dear mr cole,your life has been ruined,well can i just say that myself and many like me have no job, money,food in the house,in dept,cant find money for a pint down the pub,or follow my team when i wont,i am how ever married to a beautiful loveing woman and would not dream of cheating on so you could say we have nothing in common,you play for one of the best teams in the world ,very very rich,you had on your arm one of the most sexy, craking looking ladies on the planet,so if your feeling a bit down you could allways go clubing and find someone new,you could go and cry on jt s shoulder.
Comment by phil on March 03 09:10

Awwww diddums.

All Cashley is doing now is confirming what we already suspected - he is an immature little boy who has been found out.
Comment by Lee on March 03 09:15

Is this a man or a mouse. I can't believe what he is saying.. to thibnk he is paid all that money because of his ability and yet he has no brain, common sense, or common decency. The man is incredibly naive, or mentally ill...
Comment by Egglady on March 03 09:26

Why does he think of himself when he has brought so much pain into Cheryls life. He had many chances to put things right. I agree with all of the above comments.
Comment by Miriam on March 03 09:45

no sympathy at all for a cheat, him and terry should be ashamed of themselves but terrys paramour has a lot to answer for, disgusting
Comment by james on March 03 09:54

Who cares? millions of men and women all over the world cheat on their partners but do we have to suffer them splashed all over the newspapers and the news? NO! These two will be raking it in for their 'exclusive' stories so neither of them will get any sympathy from me.
Comment by Janet on March 03 10:00

I like the couple but can cheryl who had been fighting for this love give ashley a second chance. Let us see if ashley is truely broken and in love for her. Moreover what are they doing not to have kids. Press respect their privacy.
Comment by Ola on March 03 10:06

Who gives a damn about Cheryl and Ashley? She cant sing, he cant keep it in his trousers. End of!
Comment by carol on March 03 10:24

Are we meant to feel sorry for this overpaid, overrated pathetic little man. Well done Cherly, ditch the name asap aswell.
Comment by Mrs Smith on March 03 10:31

I'm a Geordie like Cheryl. We can only forgive so much and then that's it, no more.If I was a woman I wouldn't of given him a chance after the first time,he would have been gone.
He had every thing a Man could ever want,money ,fame and one of the most desireable Women in the World. And what did he do "Blow it " not once but twice ( that we know of, I think there's been a lot more we haven't heard about ),so Didums you spoilt brat you've now got what you deserve.
Comment by MICK on March 03 10:38

only got his self to blame he new what he was doing was wrong.
Comment by budgie on March 03 11:05

Spoilt, and so inlove with himself. Give it a rest Ashley, nobody made you sleep with the other women, only your hormones.
Comment by LP C on March 03 11:10

Cherly becarful listen to somany people comment is your marriage not theirs.Terry did the samething but the wife took him back that is want we call love i know he cheat on you but you can work it out remember it worth fighting .Try to find moretime at home with him

Comment by peac on March 03 11:11

Have some self-worth and dignity and decide if this is the sort of person you want to have a family with and share your life...
Comment by Michael Silverman on March 03 11:28

Feel sorry for, dont be stupid, he is overpaid just like Terry and a complete .....er
Comment by Bazza on March 03 11:40

No, his life has not been ruined - he has ruined his life - an overpaid, overrated idiot who deserves no better than his current suffering.
Comment by Jo on March 03 11:46

He claims his life has been ruined but who by, surely he only has himself to blame! He needs to face up to his own mistakes.
Comment by Lynn on March 03 12:04

Who's fault is that! Get a grip and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Cheryl deserves better anyway.
Comment by Gill on March 03 13:11

Good for him
Comment by Noory jasmine on March 03 14:05

I don't think he was talking about the split! the man has just done his ankle in, I'd tell you to f**k off if i was hurting and i thut it cud be the end of my career!


Comment by e on March 03 14:30

Aww didums GET OVER IT! you brought it all on yourself no one in their reight mind has any sympathy for you.
Comment by Gwen on March 03 15:22

My life has been ruined, yes by you, you nutter. Agree with Amanda I've ruined my life is the most apt comment he could make. And have you seen "these" women, what an idiot they have nothing on the gorgeous Cheryl, well unless she is totally fridgid but then hey you tell her, not go out and F*** someone else or two or three or five!!
Comment by Debbie on March 03 18:14

Wonder if Cheryl might actually consider singing live for once now she has given Ashley the boot? Given she is supposed to be singing at the V festival this year, she'd better learn unless she wants a few bottles slung at her. I have no sympathy for Ashley but little for her either - it takes two to tango and two to make or break a marriage, you don't hear everything in the media - I'm getting sick of hearing about the pair of them. Although, at least Ashley has some talent....
