News desk: Celebrities tend to live their lives at an accelerated speed – particularly when it comes to love.

We’re still getting over the shock news that Cheryl Cole has tied the knot with her partner of just three months, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. We barely had time to even acknowledge them as a couple before the X Factor judge sprung the news on us earlier this week with an Instagram post of her engagement and wedding rings!

The pop star said ‘I do’ to the French restaurateur following their whirlwind romance, which started in May this year.

“I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14. We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together,” the 31-year-old wrote, surprising her millions of fans. And us.

However, Cheryl and Jean-Bernard (we’re going to have to start referring to him as JBFV) aren’t the only famous folks to have taken their fleeting romance to the very serious next level in record time. Plenty of celebrities get engaged and/or married within months – and sometimes even weeks or days – of starting up a relationship.
