Tre Holloway's friend: Marriage could be on the cards with Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole is getting serious with Tre Holloway

Friends of Cheryl Cole's new boyfriend Tre Holloway say he's a 'commitment guy' who won't hurt the singer in the same way her ex-husband Ashley Cole did.

The singer ended her marriage to Ashley, 31, in 2010 following a string of cheating allegations - but Tre's pals insist he'd never be unfaithful.

'He's the type that would want to marry if it's the right girl,' says Marissa Sama.

'He'll definitely be faithful and very trustworthy. In my opinion, he'd never cheat.'

Cheryl, 29, who met American dancer Tre, 27, when he appeared on The X Factor in 2010, went public with her new romance this summer.

She's already introduced him to her family and the couple will reportedly visit her home city of Newcastle this weekend.

'They wouldn't have revealed they were an item unless they were in it for the long-term,' another of Tre's friends tells The Sun.

'Marriage could definitely be on the cards.'
