The American star is reportedly smitten with Cheryl, and the two have been spied spending an increasing amount of time together.

Just last weekend the pair raised eyebrows with a steamy dance routine on stage at the Capital FM Summertime Ball, fuelling reports they are far more than just friends.

And now Derek's stepfather has opened up about their relationship.

‘For Derek, this is true love. There is no doubt about it,' he told the Sunday Mirror.

He is totally in love with her and it's easy to see why. She is one hell of a girl.'

He added that he thinks the soon-to-be-ex Mrs Cole feels the same.

‘I know Derek is in love with her because he has told me he is in love with her and I think she feels the same way about him.'

Since her split with Ashley, Cheryl has also been linked to Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am.

We wonder what he thinks of these new romance rumours?
