Nicole Scherzinger has had her relationships thrown into the public eye ever since she burst onto the scene as the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls.
The 44-year-old pop star has dated some A-list celebrities over the years and sadly suffered her fair share of heartbreak.
Nicole was left "really upset" after ending her high-profile romance with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, reportedly because he wouldn't commit to marrying her.
She also struggled to balance her career and love life during a long-distance romance with tennis player Grigor Dimitrov.
However, things have been looking up for Nicole ever since she met Thom Evans when he competed on The X Factor: Celebrity.

After meeting at the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich, the pair eventually went on to date until they finally called it quits in 2015.
Their relationship lasted for seven years and was full of highs and lows, with Nicole and Lewis said to have split on at least three separate occasions.
During a break in 2013, Nicole admitted the split had left her an emotional mess, saying: "It's been a tough year."
"I am not a robot and I wear my heart on my sleeve. At the end of the day I want to be a professional and make it about the contestants and not about me," she continued as she broke down in tears during The X Factor.
Lewis and Nicole reportedly ended their relationship for a final time because she wanted to get married, but the driver wasn't ready.
They're thought to have remained friends despite the split.
