Big changes: Cheryl - who is now dating Liam Payne (above) - is said to want to change her name 'as soon as possible' as she goes ahead with the divorce
The decision comes after Cheryl's camp angrily refuted claims that she began dating new beau One Direction star Liam Payne before she had officially separated from her second husband.
A spokesperson for the singer told MailOnline: 'Cheryl does not and is not going to comment upon private matters. Jean-Bernard's information about when Cheryl started her relationship with Liam is false.'
On Sunday, Cheryl came under fire from her ex-husband after he took to Instagram, telling his 43,000 followers that the 'truth always comes out.'
Seemingly making a dig at his wife of 18-months, Jean-Bernanrd added that 'certain people that love to say that they don't comment on their private life can't help themselves but to justify themselves,' following Cheryl's tweets that cheating claims were 's**t'.
Hitting back: After Cheryl slammed claims over the weekend that there was an overlap between her separating from Jean-Bernard and the beginning of her romance with Liam, insisting the 'truth with always come out'
Sharing a snap of a rose-filled archway, Jean Bernard wrote: 'Since months, papers , 'sources ' , lawyers, Pr , management team and others have Been trying to intimating me ..I have heard so many lies about me , my family ( that cant answer anymore ) and my situation ..
'I never seen anybody standing up and defend me by telling the Truth . I guess because it wasn't in their interest.
Cheryl, who tied the knot with Jean-Bernard in a secret romantic ceremony on the Caribbean island of Mustique in July, filed for separation shortly before last Christmas citing 'unreasonable behaviour'.
Rumours of discontent began to swirl when the restaurateur was noticeably absent at the X Factor recordings and live shows last year, with sources close to Cheryl claiming their relationship actually ended in August.
The couple made a rare public appearance at Ant and Dec’s 40th birthday party in October - but were not spotted together again after that.
