Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini spotted with mystery woman at Cannes – three years after he first met Cheryl at the film festival
JEAN Bernard Fernandez-Versini has been spotted with a mystery woman in Cannes, three years after he met his ex-wife Cheryl at the film festival.
JB first met Cheryl at the glamorous event in 2014 and the couple tied-the-knot after just three months of dating.
Now he's been spotted with another beauty with the restaurateur looking dapper in a navy suit while his date looked chic in a pale pink pleated dress.
The pictures come after Jean-Bernard opened up about his life with Cheryl this week and said he"didn't like" the "mad world" he was thrust into when he married her.
The 36-year-old said he did not enjoy life in the spotlight during their two-year-marriage.
He described the pop star’s world as “mad” and said he's now keen to put it behind him to focus on his restaurant career.
The French restauranteur did, however, explain that he has no one special in his life .
He said: “I’ve lost a lot. I don’t have my parents, I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m alone now.”

Delving into his past with Cheryl, he explained: “I married someone who was famous, I was thrust into this mad world – I didn’t like it.”
JB also said he experienced the ugly side of fame as his star rating rose and he became the focus of attention.
“There was 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.
Now that he is not dating Cheryl, however, it seems Jean-Bernard is happy to have other projects focusing his mind.
“When I’m not with someone I don’t think about them. Right now I’m focused on work,” he said.
Indeed, JB is keeping himself very busy – opening a pop up restaurant named Versini in Cannes for the 2017 Film Festival.
Huge stars have flocked to the establishment – including Naomi Campbell and Eva Longoria.
The restaurant is named as a tribute to Jean-Bernard’s late mother – and it is believed the pop up is a precursor to a permanent establishment being opened in London.
JB explained to the Mirror that his restaurant plans are his main focus as he aims to honour his family – and declared that he is “married” to his job.
The rare insight into married life with Cheryl comes after Jean-Bernard was reportedly slapped with a gagging order last year.
As his marriage to Chezza crumbled, she reportedly called in the lawyers to prevent JB from talking about their time together.
The Promise This singer split from Jean-Bernard by early 2016 – and began a relationship with One Direction star Liam Payne soon after.
The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Bear, in March 2017.
