Cole to meet boyfriend's family

London, Aug 29 (IANS) Singer Cheryl Cole who is dating dancer Tre Holloway will fly to the US to meet his family.

"Tre sees something special with Cheryl. He's desperate to take her to his hometown so she can meet his family," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Holloway is the first boyfriend Cole has gone public with since she split with husband Ashley Cole in 2010.

The 29-year-old beauty has already introduced him to her mother Joan Callaghan, who is said to "love" him.

"Cheryl has described Tre as the polar opposite to Ashley. He's intelligent, caring and understanding."

"Many people think Tre's like a blend of Cheryl's exes, but he's a well brought up middle-class boy with nice manners, just like Cheryl's previous boyfriend Derek Hough. Yet he's also got an edgy vibe to him, like Ashley. Importantly, Cheryl's mum loves him," the source said.
