Businessman Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini reportedly wants to repair his marriage to the singer - who he split from in August 2015 after less than two years of marriage - and is said to be desperate to start a family with her.

A close family member of Jean-Bernard's told The Sun on Sunday: "He does not want to divorce Cheryl and wants to make a go of their marriage. He's still in love with her.

"JB wanted a child with Cheryl, they were trying and he would still like a child if they stay together.

"Family is everything for JB... He's still wearing his wedding ring to show the world he wants to give their marriage a go.

"Cheryl had a song about fighting for love if it was worth it. As far as JB is concerned the love he has for her is worth fighting for."

However, Jean-Bernard could be disappointed as it has been claimed that Cheryl has recently grown close to singer Craig David after they met during the final of 'The X Factor'.

A source close to the situation said: "The atmosphere was electric when they met on the 'X Factor' set.

"Cheryl has needed fun and friendship in recent months and Craig has given her that.

"They speak a lot and there is something special between them. Watch this space."
