Cheryl's ex Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini makes strange move decade after split
The Girls Aloud singer, 41, was briefly married to the French restauranteur, 44, 11 years ago.
After meeting at a party in 2014, they got hitched just three months later but split less than 18 months after that.
At the time of filing for divorce, Cheryl cited 'unreasonable behaviour' for their break-up and claimed he'd cheated on her, which had caused 'stress and weight loss'. He has always denied the cheating claims.
Now, nine years on, Jean-Bernard has posted a photo with his ex-wife on Instagram, where he has over 45,000 followers.
Taken in 2015, the photo shows the former couple walking hand-in-hand through Nice Airport on their way to the Cannes Film Festival.
Wearing a navy bomber jacket and dark jeans, Jean-Bernard held hands with Cheryl, who was smiling and wearing a yellow dress and black open-toe boots.
However, it seems rather than reminiscing on his past relationship, he was wanting to find out where one of his clothing items had gone.
Captioning the post, he wrote: 'Where is this jacket?'
Cheryl and Jean-Bernard met at Cannes in 2014 and after a whirlwind romance, married on Mustique in the West Indies on July 7, after only knowing each other for around 12 weeks.
Their wedding was reportedly attended by just four guests.
Soon after Cheryl confirmed the news of her nuptials, posting on X: 'I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14. We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.'
But 18 months later she was famously granted a divorce in just 14 seconds.
Around the same time Cheryl started dating late One Direction star Liam Payne, who she then welcomed son Bear with in March 2017.
In 2017 Jean-Bernard spoke about being thrust into the spotlight and his subsequent split. More Trending
'There were really awful things said about me, about my family, but I feel like I survived it. And I'm here surviving, doing my thing,' he said.
'I married someone who was famous, I was thrust into this mad world – I didn't like it.
Asked about his Cheryl welcoming a child with Payne, he added: 'If someone I used to be with goes on to have another boyfriend or have children, that's good for them, I wish them well – but I'm not going to think about it.'
Metro has contacted representatives for Cheryl for comment.

Stevie Nicks cancels tour dates just days before first gig due to injury
Stevie Nicks has been forced to postpone a series of upcoming tour dates after sustaining a shoulder fracture that requires time to heal. The 76-year-old music icon took to Instagram to share the news directly with fans, confirming that concerts scheduled for August and September will be rescheduled. 'Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks' scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled,' she wrote. 'Please note that October dates will be unaffected.' The Fleetwood Mac legend added that the tour is expected to resume on Wednesday, October 1 in Portland, Oregon. 'Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience,' the message concluded. Fans who have already purchased tickets are advised to retain them, as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows. Specific details about new dates and venues will be made available at the original point of purchase. Nicks had initially announced a nine-date tour across the US and Canada back in April, with performances slated for August and October. Due to overwhelming demand, additional shows were later added, including a launch night at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on August 8, as well as stops in Hollywood, Florida and Detroit in September. October was set to bring her to cities including Portland, Sacramento, Atlantic City, Charlotte, and Hartford. The news comes after Nicks postponed her Glasgow gig at short notice after having minor surgery for a leg injury. The Dreams singer was due to appear at the OVO Hydro earlier this month but organisers said she needs a 'few days of recovery' following a medical procedure. Even more recently, Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham officially confirmed the re-release of their 1973 duo album Buckingham Nicks. The famously acrimonious former bandmates caused fans to 'crash out' with a matching pair of social media posts in June, and then the appearance of a mysterious billboard a few days later. More Trending Many took to social media to speculate that the pair might finally be on speaking terms again after famously feuding for decades. Then, they informed the world that a re-release of Buckingham Nicks – which they recorded before joining Fleetwood Mac – will be available September 19. For now, fans will need to wait just a little longer to see the mystical frontwoman return to the stage. The silver lining? Nicks plans to be back on the road this autumn. Got a story?

The Mark Clam Bar
Get a taste of the Hamptons (without the ticks and all that traffic) at the Mark's pop-up clam shack, which feels surprisingly transportive despite its location right on the bustling corner of Madison and East 77th. It has a fine dining pedigree—the spot's a collab from Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspa—but the Clam Bar keeps it a little more casual. If it seems like the red-and-white checkered accessories and breezy, homemade-looking shack were made to be posted, well…they probably were. It will look good on your feed, but the food is satisfying on its own—this not-so-humble shack is serving up fresh lobster rolls with cherry tomatoes and kicky sriracha mayo and baked littleneck clams with garlic butter and BBQ sauce, along with roadside sides like corn with lime and crispy hand-cut fries. We love it for a long, late summer lunch, when you can sip a Bloody Mary, which is served here either with or without an oyster and caviar, or an Aperol spritz. And for dessert, a simple farmstand 'bowl of strawberries' is reimagined with berry sorbet, honey brioche and a lime meringue. That'll cost $21—this is almost the Hamptons, after all. The drinks: Kick back with a Montauk Summer Ale or treat yourself to an outrageously extravagant $45 Bloody Mary.

An impossible-to-get table on the Upper East Side? Stranger things have happened. Chez Fifi, from the folks behind neighborhood spot Sushi Noz, is the rare uptown restaurant popular with the downtown set. A roast chicken (with its much-chattered-about price of $78), filet mignon with fries and a rotating omelette give the spot its bistro bona fides. Still, for our money, your money is better spent on the assorted charcuterie, which includes salmon rillettes with cucumber, foie gras and jamón iberico with Marcona almonds. (Bonus: Shockingly, the bread and butter are free.) Don't skip dessert: here, the French classics are done right, with a gorgeous, crackling crème brulee and dark chocolate mousse served with chantilly cream. It's all very romantic—and why wouldn't it be, in the intimate room of just 12 tables? Chez Fifi is named for Firouzeh Foulquier, the mother of the brothers who run the place, and while it doesn't feel like home, necessarily, it's a lovely little place to stay awhile. After all, you scored the reservation—and it'll take a while to get another—so you'll want to make it last. The vibe: Folks who can afford a $78 roast chicken or have an assistant who can nab a table, plus foodies who simply must try the hottest table. The food: Elegant charcuterie, bistro classics like steak frites and an omelette and French desserts that are worth the wait. The drink: Espresso martinis served with ladyfingers, rhubarb sours and other elevated twists on classic cocktails.
