Personal Life
In 1999, Cole released the unsuccessful single "Outstanding", a cover of the 1982 song of the same name, which peaked below the UK Top 40.
Cole married his longtime girlfriend Shirley Dewar in July 2002 on the same day that Steve McManaman got married. They have a son called Devante, who is attached to Manchester City, and they live in the North West, as neighbours of Rio Ferdinand.
In 2008, Cole was quizzed by police after an alleged assault on his wife in their Alderley Edge home in Cheshire before being released on bail. Six months later, Cole, through his representative law firm, Schillings, won damages in an action against media giants Express Newspapers, which owns the Daily Star for defamation regarding the publication of material concerning the assault allegations and for harms caused against his family by sensationalist reports.
