Cheryl Cole plans break

Cheryl Cole wants to take time off to go travelling.

The 'Promise This' singer is reportedly planning to take a break from showbiz for at least six months now her commitments to Girls Aloud - who announced in March they were splitting following the end of their 'Ten: The Hits' tour - are complete and while she will spend more of her time in America with boyfriend Tre Holloway, she also wants to make the most of her time off and visit new places.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'Cheryl's a trouper when it comes to her work commitments and loves nothing more than making music and getting up on stage.

'But she feels now that she needs a break and an opportunity to recharge her batteries as she's barely had any time off.

'Now the Girls Aloud tour has finished Cheryl's planning to take time out and disappear from the limelight. She's in no rush to record a new album.

'Instead she's going to go to America and spend time in LA with Tre.

'She may even plan to do some travelling with him and spend time seeing the world. She's turning 30 in June and is becoming a woman. She wants to decide what path she wants to take in life.'

Cheryl and Tre, 27, have been dating for over a year and are even considering buying a house together in his native America.

A source said: 'They've been talking about a proper base there for a few months and contemplated renting but decided it was more sensible to buy.

'They are both ready for that commitment.'
