Cheryl Cole is reported to have sent a text message to her husband informing him that their relationship is officially over.
The singer is said to have sent the message after reading in the papers about the fact that the famous footballer has five mistresses on the side.
According to friends, Cheryl will head back to the UK within this week to formally announce the split with a draft statement already created. A friend has said she will head to LA and then consider what she wants to do next from there.
The same friend stated that she is tired of promises and excuses and is ready to move on with her life. Cheryl intends to handle the divorce in a dignified manner and proceed as quickly and quietly so as to save both parties from further embarrassment.
Last week, one of Cole’s mistresses, the fourth to be exact, stated that Cole and called her and said that if he lost his wife over the cheating he would be devastated.
He also is rumoured to have pleaded with Ann Corbitt, a US political aide, to keep silent about having sex with her while Cheryl was on tour. She stated that she did not know he was married until afterwards when she looked him up online.
The fifth girlfriend to come forward, Alexandra Taylor, claims that she and Cole had sex the very night that he announced he was dating Cheryl Cole.
