We think Cheryl Cole is being a tad generous when she says that Ashley was 'immature' for reportedly cheating on her with hairdresser Aimee Walton. But then she was generous for not giving him the boot at the time...
When asked about the incident, Cheryl said: "It was horrendous."
She then conceded: "Look, Ashleys young, and hes got a young mentality for his age anyway."
But it seems that footballer Ashley does at least have some redeeming qualities (in addition to the millions in the bank, that is).
"Hes learning. He has a beautiful soul, hes a really nice guy, and Im not stupid, you know Im really not. I know what Im doing.
"Ive had enough knocks to know what the circumstances are, you know, and Im happy. If other people arent, thats their problem."
And no one can say that Cheryl isn't where she wants to be right now.
