Cheryl Cole to drop X-Factor – for a baby with Ashley!

The Chelsea defender Ashley Cole and his wife Cheryl have been rumoured to be having problems in their marriage lately, as the pressure of Cheryl’s new found superstardom has taken away their private life, but it seems they are fine and ready to start a family at last.

Cheryl has been spending half her time working as a judge at the X-Factor, as well as finding time to release a Number One single, but now she wants to free up some time to spend with Ashley, and has decided to give up her job on Simon Cowell’s hit show.

An X Factor insider told the News of the World: “Cheryl has so much else going on in life.

“The number one thing on her mind is starting a family. The show is a huge commitment. It’s six months of the year. Cheryl wanted to have a baby with Ashley this year but put it off because of work.

“She doesn’t want to wait much longer and she’s not keen on having to judge The X Factor while she’s heavily pregnant.”

Cheryl also said recently: “I have friends who have put it off and I don’t want to do that. I’d love a big family.”

It seems that the demise of their marriage has been grossly exaggerated!
