Everyone loves good neighbours: Cheryl Cole is moving to a £2 million luxury apartment in West London - a stone's throw from Simon Cowell's mansionAfter sitting next to Simon Cowell all week filming X Factor, you’d think the last thing Cheryl Cole would want was to bump into him in the local Co-op on her day off.
But the Geordie star can’t seem to get enough of her new mentor and has bought a £2 million luxury apartment in West London – a stone’s throw from the mansion of her TV boss.
Cheryl has finally found her dream home after months of living in limbo following her divorce from footballer Ashley Cole earlier this year.
‘She is over the moon to have a place that will be her safe haven in the UK,’ says a friend.
‘She felt lost in the Surrey mansion near Godalming, her former marital home, where she was too far away from her friends, her work – and from Simon. This is the first time since her divorce that she’s felt as if she has a place she can call her own.’
Cheryl, 27, and Simon, 51, have become increasingly close and her choice of residence was heavily influenced by their friendship.
And if Simon and Cheryl – who will be willing their acts on in the X Factor final tonight – can’t get enough of each other living just a few streets apart, they can always catch up in Los Angeles, where Simon has another mansion, as she will be living there for part of next year after landing a £3 million deal for the American X Factor series.
Cheryl, 27, and Simon, 51, have become increasingly close and her choice of residence was heavily influenced by their friendship‘They are very close, so she is thrilled to be living near him and will be looking for a place to rent in LA that’s not far from Simon, too,’ says the friend.
Cheryl’s new London home has enough room for her dogs and her mum Joan, who rarely leaves her side and helped her exchange on the property.
‘The priority was to find somewhere that felt secure with space for Joan,’ says the friend.
