Cheryl Cole’s mother has given the thumbs up to her new boyfriend.
The singer’s mum, Joan Callaghan, is said to have loved Cheryl’s new man Tre Holloway.
Joan used to have a strained relationship with Ashley Cole, Cheryl’s previous husband.
A source told Reveal magazine: "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. Yet he's also got an edgy vibe to him, like Ashley. Importantly, Cheryl's mum loves him.”
This will come as a bit of a boost after Tre’s mother Shirley admitted that she had some reservations about the pairing last week.
Shirley said: “She might hurt him. She’s been married before.
“I don’t know Cheryl. I’ve only seen pictures on the internet. Tre said she was pretty big (in the UK).”
The source responded: "Cheryl's already called Tre's mum for a chat and plans to visit her next time she's in the US.
"Cheryl also wants to nurture Tre's career ambitions. He'd love to become a choreographer and she's already talking about getting him to choreograph some of her upcoming music videos."
