Cheryl was spotted dining with the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas at one of the best Italian restaurants in downtown Rome last week.

This marked the first joint appearance of the friends in many years, as they spent time together from 2008 to 2018.

A source told The Sun:

“There’s no denying that the last year has been tough for Cheryl. She is a strong and resilient woman, and she’s finally starting to feel better after the loss of Liam.”

“The visit to Will in Rome was just what she needed, as she is returning to the world of showbiz.”

“With friendship as a priority, it was great that the pair had a chance to reconnect during the trip.”

The restaurant owners were surprised by the star visitors, and Will.I.Am even recorded a personal video for the wife of the restaurant owner to support her music career.

News of the secret dinner between Cheryl and Will emerged after The Sun reported that he is planning her return to screen in the next season of The Voice UK.

This will be her first solo television appearance since she was a judge on BBC's The Greatest Dancer in 2020.

Cheryl's return to television

It is believed that Cheryl will join Will during the Battle Rounds stage of the competition, scheduled for early 2026.

ITV management hopes to convince Cheryl, 42, to sign a permanent contract to participate in the show if her debut is successful.

Since 2020, Cheryl has significantly reduced her public presence.

The singer decided to focus on motherhood and cope with the difficult loss of her bandmate Sarah Harding.

Last year, she reunited with her Girls Aloud colleagues for a large-scale tour in honor of Sarah, which became the biggest rental tour in the UK in the 2020s.

However, Cheryl was devastated by the death of Liam Payne, the father of her eight-year-old son, who died in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

This tragedy pushed Cheryl away from the stage.

However, taking an important step, she is beginning to return to work, intending to show her son how important it is to move on despite losses.

Last month, Cheryl made her debut in a Nivea advertising campaign, securing a significant deal that became her first solo partnership agreement in over five years.

She became the face of a new skincare product, Epigenetics Age Rewind Serum, which promises to reduce the signs of aging in just two weeks.
