Cheryl’s ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini found love again when he introduced Monika Abrasheva as his girlfriend at a Frieze party in London’s Mayfair this week.
The French businessman, 43, married Cheryl, 41, in 2014 and after a whirlwind courtship of just three months, the couple separated 18 months later.
However, it looks like Jean has moved on, as he seemingly confirmed that he and Monika, 24, are now in a relationship, according to The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden.
Monika is a project manager at Jean’s new energy supplements company, Eleven Eleven and the pair were previously spotted at London’s JD Malat Gallery in March.
They looked comfortable as they posed for photos together at the stylish event while wearing casual outfits.

The French businessman married Cheryl, 41, in 2014 and after a whirlwind courtship of just three months, the couple split 18 months later (pictured in 2014).
In 2016, Cheryl was granted a divorce in just 14 seconds after she blamed her ex-husband’s “unreasonable behavior” for her dramatic weight loss.
The former Girls Aloud star was handed a Decree Nisi ending her marriage to restaurateur Jean at London’s Central Family Court.
In court papers, the singer, who now calls herself simply Cheryl, cited the Frenchman’s “unreasonable behavior” as the reason for the divorce, claiming it had caused her “stress and weight loss.”
The year before, she sparked health concerns for her dramatic weight loss, with online critics questioning her thin appearance.
Responding to a social media user who labeled her “a bag of bones”, the former X Factor judge appeared to blame her weight loss on the death of her father-in-law.
Writing on Instagram at the time, he said: “You have no idea what I’ve been through.” I just lost (sic) my father-in-law recently and everything that comes with that. It’s not that I am or should justify myself to anyone.
‘But I’m tired of people thinking it’s okay to be mean or embarrass someone. And it’s always woman against woman. Have a little respect and maybe think that there may be reasons for it before opening your mouth please.’
Cheryl and Fernandez-Versini married in Mustique in the West Indies on July 7, 2014, and had known each other for about 12 weeks after meeting at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 2016, Cheryl was granted a divorce in just 14 seconds after she blamed her ex-husband’s “unreasonable behavior” for her dramatic weight loss (pictured in 2015).
The couple separated in late 2015 after less than 18 months of marriage. It is understood they had signed a prenuptial agreement, meaning Fernandez-Versini walked away with none of Cheryl’s estimated £20million fortune.
Both parties also signed a confidentiality agreement, which prevents them from talking about their time together or their separation.
It comes before Cheryl hinted her ex-husband Jean cheated on her, claiming Liam Payne was the only one of her ex-partners who was faithful.
In an interview published in The Sunday Times’ Style magazine, the singer is quoted telling journalist Decca Aitkenhead how Liam, with whom she shares her seven-year-old son Bear, “is the only man who has been faithful to her.”
The star claimed that “every man” in her life has let her down, leaving her with “zero” interest in a new relationship.
In the candid interview, the pop star said that all the important men in her life had let her down, including her father, her brother and her ex-husbands.
“I think I love too easily,” he admitted. ‘I think I tolerate too much. At first I didn’t set clear enough boundaries.’
MailOnline contacted a representative for Jean-Bernard for comment at the time.

The former Girls Aloud star said she was vulnerable to being treated badly and it happened again and again. But he finally found happiness thanks to his son Bear.
Calling her son “the man of her dreams,” she said she would happily be single forever. “I seriously think it could be,” he told the publication.
“I would never say never, obviously, but I have no desire, I’m telling you, zero, to start a new relationship.”
Bear’s father is former One Direction star Liam, 31, ten years her junior.
He toured the world promoting his solo career for months, and the couple announced their separation in July 2018.
While he embarked on his whirlwind promotional tour, Cheryl went to therapy for a year as she struggled with anxiety, alone at home with Bear.
She has been married twice, once to footballer Ashley Cole, who is said to have had affairs with three different women, and then to restaurateur Jean-Bernard.
