Former Footballer Ashley Cole Marries Sharon Canuin Italy 12 years after he divorced ex-wife Cheryl
Ashley Cole married his partner Sharon Canu in an intimate Italian ceremony over the weekend and a host of celebrity pals were invited.
The couple said ‘I do’ abroad in front of family and friends – including Frank and Christine Lampard, John Terry and Sam Faiers and her partner Paul Knightley.
The nuptials come 12 years after his four-year marriage to pop star Cheryl, 40, ended.
Friends and family were invited to the Hotel La Vecchia Posta in Ladispoli to take part in the celebrations which included a fireworks display and a live orchestra.
The pair exchanged vows in the romantic setting under a flower arch as the ocean stretched out behind them before they then walked back down the aisle.
A number of guests shared images and videos of the wedding on social media where Sharon stunned in a lace off-the-shoulder dress.
Ashley beamed from ear to ear as they had confetti thrown on them and held hands.
‘They met in 2014 when he joined AS Roma and now they are returning to the city for their nuptials.
‘Loads of her family live there and it’s very romantic – it’s going to be a very special day. They have put lots of money into it but they have only invited close friends and family.
‘As a couple, they have been very private so they don’t feel the need for a flashy, public wedding.’
