Singer Cheryl, who last month had her first child, reportedly got emotional when her first husband, footballer Ashley Cole, congratulated her.

Cheryl and Cole were married for four years before divorcing in 2010 amid cheating allegations.

According to a source, Cole reached out to Cheryl and her boyfriend and former One Direction member Liam Payne to congratulate them on the birth of their son.

“[He] wished Cheryl and Liam only happiness in their future,” the source told Closer magazine.

“He told Cheryl how lucky her son is to have her and he always knew she’d make an amazing mum. Ashley’s message brought Cheryl to tears and she admitted it finally felt like closure for their relationship,” the source added.

After Cole, Cheryl married restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in July 2014. Their relationship ended last year.
