Ashley Cole has spoken out to tackle rumours that he is jealous of wife Cheryl's TV and pop career. The footballer has hit out at recent reports which suggested that he has been upset since the X Factor judge launched her solo singing career.
Rumours began to circulate that their marriage "was on the rocks" after Cheryl appeared on The X Factor without her wedding ring.
But Ashley has told OK! magazine that he was "delighted" that Cheryl had scored a number one hit with her debut solo single `Fight For This Love'.
He said: "I am very proud of her.
"She worked hard to do it and she deserves all the goodness that comes to her.
"When she first thought about a solo career she was scared and nervous that she was going alone.
"We all get nerves in different ways but Cheryl has done brilliantly on The X Factor and she did a great performance of her single."
Ashley added: "I was proud of her and very happy."
