Well Cher Lloyd, star of UK X factor and singer who is about to take on America certainly hasn’t heard of the phrase to take things slowly. We hear that she is engaged to be married, and she is just 18 years old. We know it’s bad to say it, but come on, we’re all thinking it, it’ll never last. Cher last month did actually deny the engagement but we hear now that she has been boasting to her friends that she is getting married. Cher and her hairdresser boyfriend have been together just over 6 months. They met when she went into the salon where he works. His name is Craig and he is 3 years older than Cher at 21. A source said: “Cher's been telling anyone who will listen that she's engaged to Craig, despite originally denying the news. She's head over heels and has been sporting an engagement ring since last month." We have seen pictures of said engagement ring actually. It’s a small diamond ring and worn on her wedding finger – which by the way has a tattoo of a love heart on it. We know Cher is smitten with her boyfriend. She’s gushed about him a few times. At one point she said: "My boyfriend keeps me sane. He tells me to keep a grip, he'll say "You've got the best thing ever, realise you are the luckiest person ever. He whips me back into shape a little bit." Maybe her boyfriend is being very clever and marrying Cher as he knows she’ll be worth a fortune soon. She has signed a big-money deal with Epic, who will release her album in the States. LA Ried is one of the big wigs at Epic and he has already banged on about how huge he thinks Cher will be. Time will tell!
