Cheryl Cole is moving to Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old singer is reportedly planning to move
Stateside as soon as she sells the £6 million mansion in Surrey, South
East England, she shared with her England soccer star ex-husband Ashley
Cole.
As well as moving to the US to launch her career as a judge on Simon
Cowell's pop star search show 'The X Factor', it's believed the
brunette beauty wants to be closer to rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough.
His stepdad Aaron Nelson said: "Cheryl is looking at moving over here, which will be good for Derek.
"I'm not sure exactly what they have decided about living together. It's his business."
Cheryl – who first met the 25-year-old dancer when he appeared in her
'Parachute' video earlier this year – is said to feel "indebted" to
Derek after he supported her through her painful divorce and battle
with malaria.
Aaron added to The Sun newspaper: "When things got difficult for
Cheryl, she came over to be with him. Derek's pretty level-headed most
of the time. He's always been a good guy and he's very supportive. She
feels indebted to him – all to do with the fact that he's been kind to
her.
"He supports her, but that is Derek's nature. He's a cheerleader for
her. He just wants to see her do well. She came over to see him a few
weeks ago. I can say that when you love someone you want to be around
them and that's why he likes her.”
