Cheryl Cole has a new man in her life. After burying herself in her work and basically moving to LA to record a new album, the 28-year-old singer has found love again, this time in the arms of producer Patrizio Pigliapoco, says a new report.

Her marriage to Ashley Cole fell apart as the entire world stood by watching, so it makes sense for Cheryl to a bit less generous about details on her romantic life.

Even so, The Daily Star claims to have it on very good authority that she and Patrizio are an item, having met to work on her music together and gradually becoming more intimate.

An unnamed source says that, because they spent so many nights together in the studio, the two got to know each other very well – and, apparently, they liked what they learned.

“Cheryl and Patrizio have been together 24/7. They have really become inseparable,” the British tab writes, citing the unnamed but reportedly reliable source.

The age difference – Cheryl is 7 years older than Patrizio – does not affect their relationship in any way, the insider goes on to say.

“After a lot of near-misses when it comes to blokes, Cheryl hopes this one could be the real thing,” the tipster explains.

“They have loved their late night sessions in the studio, just the two of them,” adds the spy.

Since starting working together and then becoming a couple, Cheryl and Patrizio have been practically joined at the hip, which could be the first tell-tale sign of a new serious romance in the singer's life.

“They’ve rarely been apart and have genuinely fallen for each other. Cheryl really adores Patrizio – she loves his carefree attitude to working and to life, and can’t wait to see him again,” the insider continues.

Before being linked to Patrizio, Cheryl dated pro dancer Derek Hough and was even rumored to have had a fling with her mentor will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.
