Cheryl has reportedly decided to keep her surname, despite the fact that she is divorcing her estranged husband Ashley Cole.

The Sun reports that the X Factor judge is planning to title her second solo album ‘Cheryl Cole’, believing that most of the success in her career has occurred since she adopted her married name.

A 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.”

To be fair if our real surname was Tweedy, we don’t think we’d be in a hurry to change it back either!
