Nicole Scherzinger: Lewis Hamilton says a girlfriend ‘comes second’ after split from star
Nicole Scherzinger, 41, and Lewis Hamilton, 34, were together on-and-off for seven years after meeting at the MTV EMAs in 2007. Their long-distance relationship came to a halt in 2015 and the pair finally went their separate ways.
Back in 2016, Lewis hinted at why their relationship ended as he spoke about his love of cars.
The five-time Formula One World Champion said cars always come before his girlfriend.
He told The Sun: “My cars are my babies.
“I used to say, when I had a girlfriend, ‘I’m taking one of the girls out, so you can come if you want, but you come second when it comes to the cars.”

While Nicole had previously suggested they had become too “comfortable” with one another, so decided to go their separate ways.
“Sometimes people stay in relationships because they get complacent, because it’s comfortable for them, because they don’t want to be alone,” she told People.
“It’s a new chapter in my life. I’m going through a very transformative time in my life.”
Reports emerged suggesting Nicole and Lewis’ romance ended due to his reluctance to commit to marriage and start a family with the X Factor judge.
And two years ago, Nicole hinted their relationship became one-sided as she spoke about the man in the relationship being “selfish”.
She told The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine, she said at the time: “As women, we tend to love the other person and give everything to them. But sometimes the other person – the man – tends to be quite selfish, so they’re thinking of themselves and doing what’s best for them and meanwhile we’re giving everything.
“When we start to lose ourselves and compromise who we are and our worth, that’s when we really need to re-evaluate things. We need to draw that line and make those boundaries.”
Nicole admitted she found it difficult to come to terms with the fact their relationship wasn’t meant to be as she doesn’t like to “fail at things”.
“It’s about how you react and how you accept things or don’t accept things,” the Pussycat Dolls singer spilled. “Learning to let go. I was in that relationship for almost seven years.”
Nicole added: “So I’m like: ‘I will make this work somehow!’ But sometimes we don’t realise that things just aren’t meant to be.”
The singer moved on from Lewis with tennis player Grigor Dimitrov, 25, and the two had been dating on-and-off since late 2015.
But Nicole is now believed to be single after she was seen flirting with a hunky male contestant during Australia’s Got Talent in August – where she is a judge.
