The singer, who made it to the final in the last series of 'Strictly Come Dancing', said Cheryl's relationship with the American was "real".
She told Jonathan Ross: "She's known him for quite a long time. A few years, he danced for her the first time years and years ago. Yeah he's a lovely guy so I'm happy that he makes her happy. I think it could definitely go the distance, yeah they're really happy."

But she said any marriage plans of her own to long-term boyfriend Justin Scott had been put on hold because she was so busy, telling Ross: "It's just something that we've not really got round to doing."
And she said rumours of romance between this year's 'Strictly' contestants were wide of the mark, telling Ross: "I think it was actually the first year that there's been no affairs backstage, I think everyone was really disappointed actually.
"It is a really intimate situation, you're spending six/seven hours a day and it's quite physical but yeah, nothing happened this year."
Walsh was joined on Ross's ITV chat show by comic Jo Brand and 'Les Miserables' star Eddie Redmayne.
