Derek Hough is heart wide open, eyes wide shut for soon-to-be divorce British babe Cheryl Cole.
The stepfather of the Dancing With The Stars champ is spilling the tea on Hough’s budding romance with the Girls Aloud star, a men’s mag staple whose stunning good locks have earned her a reputation as one of the world’s most gorgeous women.
“For Derek, this is true love. There is no doubt about it. He is totally in love with her. And it’s easy to see why. She is one hell of a girl. Very talented and incredibly beautiful,” Aaron Nelson — who is married to Derek’s mom — yapped to Britain’s Daily Mirror on Sunday.
Cheryl separated from her soccer star husband Ashley Cole in February following a far-reaching cheating scandal of epic proportions across the pond. As goss-watchers in the UK know, she’s has grown increasingly close to the dancer, who she worked with on her “Parachute” video, in recent months and Derek’s family believes the British beauty is the “girl of his dreams.”
“People think he is gay because he is a dancer, but that boy is about as far from being gay as you can get. He is a stud. Women go crazy for him,” Aaron continued. “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. She is the girl of his dreams and he is desperate to be with her. He would follow her to the ends of the Earth. He and his new lady are going off on a romantic holiday. I can’t say where as he’d kill me. After that, who knows what is going to happen? But this girl is very special to Derek and he is at a point in his life where he is ready to settle down. He is ready to be in love and make that commitment. Derek is looking for a new home in Los Angeles, so he can have his own space and we will just have to wait and see what the future holds.”
