Cheryl Cole gushed about her boyfriend Jean-Bernard Fernandes Versini at a concert at the weekend telling a reporter: "Things are going good between us" but insiders say that behind-the-scenes the X Factor judge has her concerns.
Insiders say that Cheryl, 30, is worried that Jean-Bernard's party lifestyle could drive a wedge between them and that the Frenchman sometimes doesn't understand her life and priorities with work.
A source says: "Cheryl's work schedule is more hectic than ever, but JB has asked her to accompany him on trips to New York and St Barts – holidays she just can't commit to.
"JB's a real party boy and used to dropping plans on a whim, so he doesn't really understand that Cheryl has made other commitments. It's made Cheryl realise they have very different lifestyles."
Cheryl's pals add that while the Crazy Stupid Love singer would rather stay in front of the TV on her nights off, JB – who owns celeb hangout the Cosy Box in Cannes is more of a party animal and likes to hit the town as much as possible – differences which Cheryl is said to have picked up on in recent weeks.
Cheryl, who showed off her incredibly toned figure in a white cropped top and skirt on stage at the weekend, ruled out starting a family with her new boyfriend any time soon at the concert at Wembley this weekend.
She told a newspaper: "I'm not feeling broody at the moment. Baby brain is not something I want to go through right now."
