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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“Jupiter, not wanting man’s life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason—you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
