Cheryl's former partner Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini has broken his silence for the first time since their separation - and admitted he's seeing someone else.
The 35-year-old French restaurateur revealed he only had fond memories of his union with the popstar.
"It's been a tough year, I'm trying to move on," he told The Mirror. "I'll never think badly of her. She is a great girl."
The pair split in October last year, and Cheryl has since moved on with former One Direction singer Liam Payne.
But it would appear she's not the only one, as Jean-Bernard continued: "I'm still a married man, but there is someone else."
Jean-Bernard has been romantically linked to Vanessa Perroncel, Cheryl's former close friend and footballer Wayne Bridge's ex. He was also spotted partying with Pamela Anderson at a nightclub in Cannes before the pair were pictured leaving together.

Cheryl and J-B tied the knot in Mustique back in 2014 following a whirlwind three-month romance.
Recalling first meeting the 32-year-old singer and former X Factor judge, he added: "I fell in love, what could I do? I didn't know Cheryl was famous when I met her.
"I was having a party at my house in South Africa and she turned up, but I didn't know who she was. I always go for very beautiful women."
Cheryl filed for divorce in January citing "irreconcilable differences". She and 24-year-old boyfriend Liam have also been attending parties in Cannes as part of the 69th film festival due to Cheryl's duties as L'Oreal ambassador.
