CHERYL FERNANDEZ-Versini is reportedly set to drop her married name following the disintegration of her marriage to restaurateur Jean-Bernard.
The X Factor judge, 32, is said to be reverting back to her maiden name Tweedy or her name from her marriage to footballer Ashley Cole, as her relationship with Liam Payne goes public.
Sources tell The Sun that Cheryl is ready to distance herself from the name for a re-brand, shortly after it was revealed she is romancing the One Direction hunk, 22. Cheryl married Jean-Bernard in July 2014 after dating for three months and while she opted to use his name for television and publicity purposes, she used the mononym Cheryl for her music.
The duo’s relationship has been plagued with rumours of strife for many months and the marriage appears to have publicly collapsed in recent weeks - leading to Cheryl’s confession of her new romance.
After days of speculation, teen favourite Liam confirmed his romance with Cheryl on Sunday by changing his display picture on Instagram to a cosy image of the duo, who reportedly enjoyed a romantic trip to the Maldives earlier this month.
