Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s estranged husband Jean-Bernard is reportedly dating one of her old pals.
The 35-year-old Frenchman is said to be getting cosy with Vanessa Perroncel – who previously hit headlines by having an affair with married Chelsea skipper John Terry, shortly after she split from his teammate Wayne Bridge.
Cheryl and Vanessa apparently became close pals through the football connection, while she was married to Ashley Cole.
On Jean-Bernard and Vanessa’s romance, a source told The Mirror: ‘They’re close. It’s fairly early days but there certainly seems to be something there.
‘No doubt it will come as a surprise to Cheryl to learn the romance is with someone she knows.
‘I don’t think she and Vanessa stayed friends but at one stage they were quite close,’ they added.
It’s believed the pair were introduced by mutual friends several weeks ago, with Vanessa, 39, growing up just a few miles away from the French nightclub owner’s home in Aix-en-Provence.
Cheryl and Jean-Bernard are currently both in Cannes for the film festival, where he runs pop-up restaurant and bar, Cosy Box.
Awkward cocktail, anyone?
The former X-Factor judge is currently soaking up the spotlight with One Direction’s Liam Payne at the film festival, who she has been dating for the past few months.
Cheryl and Jean-Bernard split last December after 18 months of marriage and lawyers are currently handling divorce proceedings.
Jean-Bernard has been contacted for comment.
