Seattle Affair Splits Cheryl and Ashley Cole; Lawyers Discuss Assets

After an alleged affair with a woman in Seattle, United Kingdom celebrity couple Cheryl and Ashley Cole have filed for divorce. Now many are speculating on the division of property for this high-powered couple who share millions in assets.

The high-profile couple married three-and-a-half years ago. Despite their individual fortunes, Cheryl said that she found the idea of a prenuptial agreement “disgusting,” because they would be together for the rest of their lives. Now, however, her decision to skip an agreement before marriage may cost her during the divorce.

Ashley, a musical artist and famous television personality in England separated from her husband this week after information surfaced regarding a Seattle, Washington, affair her soccer star husband allegedly had during a pre-season football game in the United States. The other woman, Ann Corbitt, went to the media after the short-lived relationship.

Many divorce lawyers are speculating on how their assets will be divided in the divorce settlement – a short marriage that does not involve children could mean both parties walk away keeping only what they had when they were wed. It may be that their attorneys will split the assets they earned as a couple during their marriage. Both have earned millions of pounds each during the marriage.

The couple jointly owns a mansion in Surrey worth an estimated 6 million pounds, though rumor says that Ashley is planning a move in the near future to Italy.
