The 27-year-old singer is looking for spiritual
enlightenment after suffering a tumultuous 2010 which saw her divorce her
husband Ashley Cole after he cheated on her and overcome malaria and is
investigating different faiths.
A source said: “Cheryl has awakened her spiritual side.
She has been tapping into higher powers for answers and guidance. She's been
doing some deep thinking - especially after malaria. Christianity is closest to
her, but she's open to other religious influences.”
Cheryl’s mother Joan Callaghan is a regular churchgoer
while the star’s close friend, Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am, is deeply
religious after being raised a Baptist in California.
The Girls Aloud star could also be seeking spiritual
enlightenment from her rumored love interest Derek Hough, who is a practicing
Mormon.
The ‘Parachute’ singer was spotted wearing a Hindu charm
to the rehearsals of UK pop star search show ‘The X Factor’, on which she is a
judge with Simon Cowell, last weekend.
