Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Praises Cheryl As He Denies Dating Pamela Anderson

Earlier this year Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini unleashed a scathing Instagram attack on his ex-wife Cheryl, hinting that her romance with One Direction star Liam Payne may have overlapped with her relationship with him.

Thankfully the French businessman is seemingly doing much better following their split and now has nothing but praise for the singer in a new interview.

Cor, make your mind up, JB.

Speaking to The Mirror, Jean-Bernard even admitted that he was also dating somebody else, sharing: “It’s been a tough year, I’m trying to move on. I’ll never think badly of her. She is a great girl.

"I’m still a married man, but there is someone else.”

However, he was quick to deny reports that linked him to Cheryl’s former bestie Vanessa Perroncel as well as Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson, who JB was spotted getting close to at a party in Cannes earlier this week.

Speaking about the first time he met Cheryl, her former husband added: “I was having a party at my house in South Africa and she turned up, but I didn’t know who she was. I always go for very beautiful women.

"I fell in love, what could I do? I didn’t know Cheryl was famous when I met her.”

The two got married in a secret ceremony in 2014, just months after they met, but Cheryl filed for divorce earlier this year after their marriage reportedly broke down in August.

We’re just glad that both parties have been able to move on from their heartache.
