Cheryl has given Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini his late mother's ring back

Earlier in the week it was reported that Cheryl’s ex-husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, was pleading with the star to return his late mother’s ring, which he gifted to the star on their first wedding anniversary.

It has now been reported that the former X Factor judge has returned the ring as well as two others following the finalisation of their divorce.

Alongside his mother’s ring, Cheryl has also returned her engagement ring and her £15,000 wedding band, according to The Sunday People.

It was confirmed by the Central Family Court in London earlier this month that Cheryl will retain her full £20million fortune, with the successful French businessman not receiving a penny of his ex-wife’s estate.

The pair were together for just 19 months in total and Cheryl cited JB’s “unreasonable behaviour” as the reason for their divorce in the official legal papers, claiming that their relationship caused her “stress” and “weight loss”.

They tied the knot after in July 2014 after just three months of dating, with it being claimed that Cheryl realised that she had made a mistake just five months into their marriage.

An insider explained: “By the time Cheryl and JB’s marriage collapsed, their relationship was incredibly volatile.

"They were constantly fighting, both in private and in public, and both felt pushed to the brink.Cheryl had realised within five months of marrying JB that she had made a mistake, and she wanted to end things. But she felt under pressure to wait.

"It was around the time that JB’s dad died, and she didn’t want to kick a man when he was down. But the longer the marriage dragged on, the more toxic things became between them and the more poisonous the things they both said in anger.”

The source continued to The Sun: “Not long after they were pictured together at Ant and Dec’s 40th birthday party last October, Cheryl tried to kick JB out of their house - but he refused.

"Neither would back down and the fight turned very nasty. JB was furious he was being forced out, and Cheryl isn’t the kind of person to just sit there and go, ‘Oh, OK then’ when she is being screamed at.”

Cheryl is now dating One Direction star, Liam Payne, and is said to be much happier in her new romance.
