Cher Lloyd has split from her husband of almost 13 years and told fans she has thrown her wedding ring in the bin. The 32-year-old former X Factor favourite sparked speculation among followers after sharing a close-up photograph of her hand on Instagram, minus her wedding band.
When one follower asked: 'I have many questions, where is your wedding ring? What are we supposed to understand from your photos?' Cher swiftly replied: 'It’s in the bin.'
Marriage to Craig Monk
The singer got engaged to Craig Monk in January 2012, less than a year after meeting the hairdresser when he fitted her extensions. The meeting came after Cher's success on ITV's The X Factor, which catapulted the Worcestershire teen to fame.
'I wanted to go for a cigarette but I couldn’t go out the front because it was swimming with paparazzi. He was the only one who could take me out the back. So that’s where I met him,' she previously revealed.
The pair married in November 2013 and share two daughters: Delilah-Rae, born in May 2018, and Eliza Violet, who arrived in September 2023.
Career Highlights
After Cher's wedding day, former mentor Cheryl wrote on Twitter: 'Wow!! Heard your good news. Congratulations @CherLloyd I hope you have many more happy years and memories to come. Cheryl x.'
Cher signed to Simon Cowell's record label Syco after coming fourth on The X Factor in 2010. She went on to top the Official Singles Chart with debut track 'Swagger Jagger'. Shortly after her debut album was released, she signed a record deal in America with former X Factor USA judge LA Reid. The singer has toured with Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato.
