Cheryl Cole has been mostly out of the spotlight since leaving her role as a judge on the U.S version of X Factor, but she's back now and spending time in Cannes with Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.Am. 

The 'Boom Boom Pow' singer uploaded a photo of himself posing with Cole in the south of France and accompanied the picture with a caption that read, "Its me and the "tweety nird" in canne france..me & cheryl cole in the south of france having fun."

The pair became friends after collaborating on her debut solo album, '3 Words', and have remained close although neither one has confirmed if the recent reports of another duet are true.
