X Factor judge
Nicole Scherzinger has split from her F1 racing driver boyfriend
Lewis Hamilton after four years together, it has been reported.
The couple have been battling relationship woes for months after work commitments put a strain on their romance – but it has now been revealed they have finally split for good.
A source told The Sun: ‘Nicole and Lewis have tried to make it work but realise it’s just not happening so have called it a day once and for all.’
It is thought to be down to their hectic work schedules which often see them on opposite sides of the world.
As well as being tied up with her duties on X Factor US, 33-year-old Nicole has this year been promoting her debut solo album Killer Love and filming her cameo role in Men In Black III.
Meanwhile, Hamilton has been touring all ends of the globe with his F1 racing team McLaren.
The source added: ‘Although they came to an amicable decision, Nicole is actually devastated about it. She thought Lewis was the one.’
The couple met at the MTV Awards in Munich in 2007. They have been together since but split briefly in January last year because they weren’t getting to see each other enough.
It seemed Nicole and Lewis, 26, were destined to marry having previously spoken of having children together .
Nicole was last year reported as saying: ‘I’m mega broody. So is Lewis. Seeing young kids at the auditions makes you ponder your own life.
‘It made me wonder whether I would make a good mother. Lewis tells me I would be the perfect mum.’But last month cracks were visible as when asked about the prospect of having kids with Scherzinger, Lewis said: ‘I’m still young. It’s a long way away.’Further strain on their relationship also came when rumours emerged surrounding Nicole and X Factor US presenter Steve Jones, who openly admitted to having a crush on the former Pussycat Doll singer.
However, Lewis played down the reports, insisting he was relaxed and had no need to worry about the pair working together.
