Cheryl gives Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini back £275k diamond ring as part of divorce deal
The restaurateur gave her the ring as a sign of his 'unfailing love' that ended with their official split this week
CHERYL is going to give back three rings that her ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini gave her during their marriage - including a £275k diamond rock.
The pair were granted a quickie divorce in just 14 seconds earlier this week - officially ending their 18-month marriage earlier this week after being granted a Decree Nisi in a London court.
Cheryl, who is now dating One Direction star Liam Payne, will be returning her engagement ring as well as a £15,000 wedding ring to her ex as part of the deal that saw her keep her entire £25million fortune.
A family heirloom said to be worth £275,000 and belonged to his mother will also be returned, after sources told she just wanted to "move on".
The 33-year-old star had previously told pals she was baffled by his demands as he hadn't previously mentioned he wanted the rings back.
The diamond used to belong to his late mother, and was given to Cheryl by Jean-Bernard as a 'sign of his unfailing love'.

The former couple were so keen to make their split official, they announced the news an hour before the decree was granted by the court.
A statement issued by the singe’s representative declared: “Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini have today obtained Decree Nisi in their divorce proceedings.
“No further comment will be made and they ask for their privacy to be respected.”
