London
(ANI):
Girls
Aloud
member
Cheryl
Cole
has
taken
her
friendship
with
Black
Eyed
Peas
rapper
will.i.am
to
another
level
–
by
introducing
him
to
her
mother
who
gave
him
her
approval.
will.i.am,
35,
met
Joan,
50,
on
May
5
for
drinks
after
Cheryl,
26,
supported
the
Black
Eyed
Peas
at
London"s
O2
Arena.
The
meeting
between
the
three
went
so
well
that
the
rapper
promised
Joan
he
will
take
care
of
Cheryl,
and
he
also
praised
the
way
she
has
been
brought
up.
“Joan
is
a
great
lady.
You
can
see
why
Cheryl
is
such
a
good
girl,
she
gets
it
from
her
mum," the
Sun
quoted
him
as
saying.
“Cheryl"s
mum
is
behind
our
friendship.
I
think
anybody
that
will
look
after
her
little
girl
and
protect
her
-
after
the
last
few
months
she
has
had
-
is
only
a
good
thing
in
her
mum"s
eyes.
The
most
important
thing
for
Cheryl
at
the
moment
is
to
have
a
man
around
her
who
she
can
trust
and
who
makes
her
laugh.
I
promised
mum
that"s
what
I"m
doing."
“We
couldn"t
ask
for
a
better
supporting
act
than
Cheryl,
the
crowd
absolutely
love
her
and
she
really
is
a
princess
in
the
British
peoples"
eyes.
I
am
having
a
great
time
working
with
her,
but
I
already
knew
that
I
would
anyway.
We
are
having
a
great
time
during
the
show,
but
also
a
great
time
after,"
he
added.
Will,
who
worked
with
Cheryl
on
her
debut
solo
album
3
Words,
has
made
no
secret
of
his
feelings
for
the
Girls
Aloud
star.
“Cheryl
turned
up
with
her
mum
after
Will
had
arrived,"
an
onlooker
at
the
Bacardi
VIP
bar
said.
“He
spent
some
time
talking
to
Joan,
who
came
to
watch
her
perform.
She
obviously
got
on
with
Will,
so
she
seems
to
approve
of
the
friendship,"
the
onlooker
stated.
