Nadine Coyle and fiancé Jason Bell 'split after 11 years together'

Nadine Coyle has split from her fiancé Jason Bell, according to reports.

The Girls Aloud singer and the former American footballer were together for 11 years but new reports claim they have broken up after beginning to lead “separate lives”.

Nadine, 34, shares a daughter, Anaiya, with the athlete and sources add they will co-parent the five-year-old.

An insider told The Sun: “Although Nadine and Jason were never married, they lived as a close family unit and remain good friends as they co-parent their young daughter.”

“They still care for one another, but are no longer in a romantic relationship.”

Standard Online has contacted Coyle’s reps for comment.

The couple began dating in 2008, after meeting in the US where Coyle was working.

They got engaged in 2010 before splitting up for a short period a year later.

Speaking about the previous split, Coyle admitted she thought she was “too young” to get married at the time.

In 2018, she told Fabulous magazine: “I got with Jason when I was 23 and [got] engaged, and I suddenly thought: ‘Hang on. I can’t get married, I’m only 25.’”

Jason proposed again in 2014, just before she gave birth to their daughter. In 2016, Coyle moved back to her home country of Northern Ireland to raise their daughter closer to her family.

Meanwhile, Bell, remained in the US to focus on his sports commentary career.

However just one month before the latest rumoured split, Coyle sparked speculation she and Bell had got hitched by referring to him as her "husband" in an interview.
