Singer and TV personality Cheryl has officially dropped surname Fernandez-Versini following the breakdown of her marriage.
The 32-year-old pop star, who is in the process of re-launching her solo career, will now just be known by her first name as she gears up to record her new album, reported Daily Mirror.
After splitting from second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini at the end of last year, Cheryl will publicly go without a surname, instead of reverting to maiden name Tweedy.
The former Girls Aloud star will be honoured at 7th annual Global Gift Gala in Paris by Eva Longoria, and has been added to the line-up as simply ‘Cheryl’.
She will receive The Global Gift Philanthropist Award, honouring her work with Cheryl’s Trust -which she set up to support the needs of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
“Cheryl wants to wipe the slate clean and start afresh with a new name, now the divorce is going through. “Things turned pretty nasty over the weekend, with both Cheryl and JB making comments on social media, so from hereon in, she will just be known as Cheryl,” a source said.
“Her last album in 2014 was released under the name ‘Cheryl’, too, but everyone still called her by her new married name,” it added.
