Cheryl Cole's mother approves new man

The 29-year-old 'Promise This' hitmaker has embarked on a romance with American dancer Holloway and he has been given the seal of approval by her mother, who had a strained relationship with her daughter's ex-husband Ashley Cole, reported Femalefirst online.

"Cheryl has described Tre as the polar opposite to Ashley. He's intelligent, caring and understanding. Many people think Tre's like a blend of Cheryl's exes, but he's a well brought up middle-class boy with nice manners, just like Cheryl's previous boyfriend Derek Hough," a source said.

"Yet he's also got an edgy vibe to him, like Ashley. Importantly, Cheryl's mum loves him," it added.
