Close ties: Cheryl Cole visited the mother of her former husband Ashley Cole on Easter SundayCheryl Cole spent Easter Sunday with the mother of her former husband Ashley, fuelling speculation that she may be prepared to forgive the errant footballer.
Her visit to Sue Cole’s home came to light after a fan who lives nearby posted a photograph of herself with Cheryl on her Twitter page.
The youngster, named only as Yasemin, also wrote that the singer had ‘popped round to say hi’ to her former mother-in-law.
The Daily Mail has been told that Chelsea and England defender Cole, 30, was not at the house in Chigwell, Essex, at the time.
But his ex-wife and his mother are understood to have remained close despite the high-profile divorce last year.
Cheryl, 27, was visiting her former mother-in-law before jetting out to the U.S. in the coming days to begin her role as a judge on the American version of The X Factor.
The way they were: Ashley and Cheryl Cole on her 25th birthday shortly before they splitHowever, her PR firm – Supersonic PR – were quick to quash speculation that the trip to Chigwell could herald a reconciliation with Cole.
The couple, who married in July 2006, separated in February last year after a series of women came forward claiming to have had flings with the footballer. They were divorced in October.
But in a TV interview with Piers Morgan later that month a tearful Cheryl admitted that a part of her would always love her former husband.
