Cheryl Cole eyes US move for lover Derek Hough

London (ANI): Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has apparently decided that she'll move to the US for her alleged lover Derek Hough after the end of 'X Factor'. Derek's best friend, his singer sister Julianne has given Cheryl her approval. For quite some time, Cheryl has been in Los Angeles with Derek while she recovers from malaria.

And after her role as a judge on the ITV show gets over in December 2010, the 27-year-old singer wants to move to California semi-permanently to move on from footballer husband Ashley. "Cheryl has been having an absolute blast in LA. She and Derek are getting on really well and she's feeling like a completely new woman," News of the World quoted a source as saying.

"She has been beaming and everyone has noticed it. She's confident and bubbly and hasn't been down at all, even though her divorce is so close to being finalized," the source added. "Ashley is not in her thoughts because she's not at home surrounded by memories of their time together," the source further said.

Cheryl and Derek will also meet each other's parents in August, which will be yet another sign of their commitment to each other.
