The 'Call My Name' singer has been invited to spend the festive season with her dancer boyfriend of six months Tre Holloway in the US and is looking forward to bonding with his family.

A source close to the 29-year-old singer told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Christmas is a big deal to Cheryl and she always takes time off to just relax with her family and chill out.

"She is looking forward to being able to spend time with Tre and meet his family."

Tre, 27, recently met all of Cheryl's family during her arena tour in Newcastle and at a party for her brother Garry in Hollywood but despite being happier than ever, the Girls Aloud star is said to be desperate to keep her new relationship private following the recent release of her memoir.

An insider said: "Releasing the book was an important, but a very painful and cathartic process for Cheryl. Now she's done it she wants to concentrate on music and making things work with Tre."

Tre has already gotten the seal of approval from Cheryl's best pal and bandmate Kimberley Walsh.

The Girls Aloud star thinks Tre is "lovely", and although she doesn't know too much about him she is looking forward to Cheryl - who is divorced from Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole - opening up about her relationship with her backing dancer when the time is right.

Kimberley previously revealed: "He's a really lovely guy, but I feel it's right to give her the space to settle into it herself and discuss it in her own time. She deserves that."
