Will.I.am’s mother has fuelled speculation the hip-hop star is dating Cheryl Cole - insisting her son is in "love" with the British singer.
Will.i.am - real name William James Adams, Jr. - has been linked to the Girls Aloud beauty following the breakdown of her marriage earlier this year. His mother Debra Cain sparked further reports of a romance last month by revealing the Black Eyed Peas singer has a secret girlfriend, but she refused to confirm whether the mystery woman is Cole.
Cain has now spoken out to seemingly confirm the stars are a couple, admitting she's hoping to meet Cole as soon as possible. She tells Britain's new! magazine, "Their friendship has turned into love. Will is very fond of her. He says she's an amazing woman. His feelings for her have definitely grown from friendship into love and I believe they're good for each other.
"I give them my blessing. She seems like such a nice girl. I can't wait to meet Cheryl. My son has told me so many good things about her. Will has promised to take us all out for a meal together next time the two of them are in L.A."
