“They’ve been seeing each other for about two months,” said our insider. “She really likes him and they’re spending a lot of time together. She’s beaming all the time. She’s met his friends and family. Everyone approves.”

The source added, “She’s going to be at [Cannon’s show] America’s Got Talent with his mum [on Tuesday night].”

Cannon has even started letting Chilli braid his hair, we hear.

Cannon was flattered by initial rumours he was dating the singer. “I would be so lucky to be able to be called ‘dating’ her. This is all new to me. I’m not ready for titles and all that stuff,” he’s reportedly said.
