Cheryl Cole: splitting from Ashley was the right move

 
Comment - Cheryl Cole
7 June 2012

Cheryl Cole thinks she made the right choice splitting from husband Ashley.

Although the singer's four year marriage to footballer Ashley Cole ended in 2010, she doesn't feel as if her life has gone wrong.

Cheryl says she wants a "massive" family but would rather be a mother later in life.

She said: "I'd love a massive family. I'm from a big family. I've got 10 nieces and nephews."

Asked if her life plans have gone awry as a result of her marriage breakdown, she added: "No, I wouldn't say wrong; I'd probably say right.

"My mam is like, 'You've done it the right way round. I didn't even know myself when I had children. You're at that nice age where you're developing into a young woman and you can give your children the things they need.' "

As well as having no personal regrets, the 28-year-old beauty also admitted she isn't upset about being sacked from the US version of 'X Factor' after just four days last year.

She told The Observer magazine: "I think people think it was [upsetting] but it wasn't. I should probably care more than I do."

Two years ago, Cheryl contracted potentially-fatal malaria and admits it took a "long time" to come to terms with the fact she had been close to death.

She added: "It takes a long time mentally to come to terms with it. As it's happening, you're just going through it. Looking back you think, 'Wow, that was really near.' "
