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.

One of Nicole's longest relationships was her on-off romance with Lewis Hamilton.

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.

Grigor Dimitrov

Towards the end of 2015, Nicole moved on from her relationship with Lewis Hamilton and started dating professional tennis player Grigor Dimitrov.

News of their romance first broke when they were spotted kissing and packing on the PDA during a trip to Australia, where Nicole had travelled to support the Bulgarian sportsman.

Nicole and Grigor were in a long-distance romance for almost four years as she stayed in Los Angeles while he travelled around the world to play tennis.

However, Grigor's hectic work schedule badly affected the relationship and the couple ultimately broke up in 2019.

"It's not easy. The schedules are very heavy. But she's doing a better job than I am at being able to come to most of the places I'm at," Grigor admitted to Mr Porter Journal in 2018.

Harry Styles first met Nicole when he auditioned for The X Factor as a solo artist, before the former Pussycat Doll helped to make him a member of One Direction.

Three years later, the pair allegedly enjoyed a brief romance while she was on a break from Lewis Hamilton.

A source told The Sun : "They had a dalliance at the end of the X Factor in 2013 and met up again early last year.

"Harry was obviously very taken by Nicole who is stunning and he had always looked up to her."

They added: "They hooked up over there years later when Harry had matured and was a member of the world’s biggest band."
