Did you know Meghan Markle was once wooed by footballer Ashley Cole?

Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle was wooed by former Chelsea star Ashley Cole and considered him his offer of a date

The American actress and model, who recently announced her engagement, revealed to a UK based journalist about four years ago in an interview that she was being pursued by Cole, reports metro.co.uk.

The story was published back in a leading daily, Daily Mail, by journalist Katie Hind, who met the 'Suits' star in 2013.

She stated that the then-Chelsea footballer was following her on Twitter and kept "trying to talk" to her.

She revealed that during the evening, the 36-year-old asked her for her advice on Ashley, admitting that he had asked her to 'go out on a date while I'm over here in London' but that she was unsure.

However, the 'Remember Me' star, who married her former husband back in 2011 on a Jamaican beach, split two years later after she landed her role in 'Suits.
