Relationship history

Cole and Cheryl began dating in 2004 and married in 2006. They separated in 2010, when their divorce proceedings brought their marriage to an end.

After Cheryl, Cole briefly dated Kayla Collins, who spoke publicly about their relationship in late 2010. Subsequent reporting linked him to Anna Kelle and Melissa Howe. Pascal Craymer also publicly described dating him in 2014. The reported links are kept distinct from his two marriages.

Cole later began a relationship with Italian model Sharon Canu. They became parents to Jaxon in 2016 and Grace in 2018, announced their engagement in 2022 and married in Italy in July 2023. In a 2026 interview, Cole discussed their life together and Canu’s support for his move into coaching.
