Cheryl Cole to Stay “Cole” Despite Divorce

According to the latest reports, Cheryl Cole has decided to retain her surname even though she is in the middle of divorcing her husband Ashley Cole.

According to ‘The Sun’ the X Factor judge is planning to release her second solo album with the title ‘Cheryl Cole’ as she thinks that her career has seen greater success since she started using her married name.

One source said,

“Cheryl has decided her married name will stay. She feels the most successful period of her career has been under the name Cole. She’s established in Europe. Going back to her maiden name Tweedy would be confusing. It also shows she is bigger than Ashley and prepared to be grown up about a difficult time in her life. She is a fan of Tina Turner. Tina was divorced during her career but decided to stick with her married name because it was how she was best known.”

The real question is though, if her maiden name was anything other than “Tweedy” would she still stick with “Cole”?
