Nearly a decade after they split, Cheryl’s ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini has bizarrely shared a photo of them on social media.
The Girls Aloud singer, 41, was briefly married to the French restauranteur, 44, 11 years ago.
After meeting at a party in 2014, they got hitched just three months later but split less than 18 months after that.
At the time of filing for divorce, Cheryl cited ‘unreasonable behaviour’ for their break-up and claimed he’d cheated on her, which had caused ‘stress and weight loss’. He has always denied the cheating claims.
Now, nine years on, Jean-Bernard has posted a photo with his ex-wife on Instagram, where he has over 45,000 followers.
Taken in 2015, the photo shows the former couple walking hand-in-hand through Nice Airport on their way to the Cannes Film Festival.
Wearing a navy bomber jacket and dark jeans, Jean-Bernard held hands with Cheryl, who was smiling and wearing a yellow dress and black open-toe boots.
However, it seems rather than reminiscing on his past relationship, he was wanting to find out where one of his clothing items had gone.
Captioning the post, he wrote: ‘Where is this jacket?’
Cheryl and Jean-Bernard met at Cannes in 2014 and after a whirlwind romance, married on Mustique in the West Indies on July 7, after only knowing each other for around 12 weeks.
Their wedding was reportedly attended by just four guests.
Soon after Cheryl confirmed the news of her nuptials, posting on X: ‘I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14. We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.’
But 18 months later she was famously granted a divorce in just 14 seconds.
Around the same time Cheryl started dating late One Direction star Liam Payne, who she then welcomed son Bear with in March 2017.
In 2017 Jean-Bernard spoke about being thrust into the spotlight and his subsequent split.
‘There were really awful things said about me, about my family, but I feel like I survived it. And I’m here surviving, doing my thing,’ he said.
‘I married someone who was famous, I was thrust into this mad world – I didn’t like it.
Asked about his Cheryl welcoming a child with Payne, he added: ‘If someone I used to be with goes on to have another boyfriend or have children, that’s good for them, I wish them well – but I’m not going to think about it.’
Metro has contacted representatives for Cheryl for comment.
