Rumours of a split have been circulating for months and now reports claim Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is to divorce her French husband after just 18 months of marriage.
The X Factor judge has begun formal proceedings by filing paperwork which cites irreconcilable differences between her and partner, Jean-Bernard.
According to The Sunday Mirror, the former Girls Aloud singer secretly split with her second husband, Jean-Bernard, FIVE MONTHS ago.
Speaking to newspaper, an insider said: "In the end Cheryl realised she had married too soon and had been swept away by a bit of a whirlwind romance.
"Over time it became clear to each of them that they were very different people and from very different worlds. They are now focusing on making sure they stay friends. The divorce is amicable and they both said they will always be there for each other."
Cheryl and Jean-Bernard married on the island of Mustique in July 2014.
The couple were last seen together in public back in October at the joint 40th birthday bash for I'm A Celeb hosts, Ant and Dec. Fans saw it as a united front but the relationship had reportedly ended two months earlier and the pair attended the party together as close friends.
The source explained: "They actually split up in August. They are still very good friends but are now getting a divorce.
"By the time of Ant and Dec's party they were just close friends who still enjoy spending time together. They were having a great time with their friends but there was nothing intimate by that stage. In the end they found they got on well but in reality probably got married too soon.
"But JB has said he’ll always be there to support her when she needs him and he’s a very honourable guy.”
Cheryl was previously married to footballer Ashley Cole for four years but she filed for divorce in 2010 after reports suffaced that he'd cheated on her.
