It is a new season of joy for the extraordinary Nicole Scherzinger as she is finally engaged to her boyfriend of three years, Thom Evans.
The lovebirds met on the "X Factor: Celebrity" in 2019, and their relationship was confirmed the following year, in January 2020.
Three years and six months later, Scherzinger is announcing her engagement to the Scottish athlete with the most charming photos, indicating it all went down amid a romantic vacation.
Nicole Scherzinger Posts Beautiful Pictures From Her Engagement To Thom Evans
Scherzinger 'said yes' to the love of her life on Tuesday, June 27, and did not hesitate to share the terrific news with her fans worldwide.
In an Instagram post featuring two slides, the star songstress gave fans a glimpse of how it went down. One frame in the upload displayed her man going down on one knee to propose while she covered her face in delight with both hands.
The actress was decked in a long blue, flowing patterned dress, paired with a cream beach hat for the affair, while Evans put on a blue shirt and cream shorts.
In the second slide, the duo looked so much in love as they embraced with eyes only for one another. Nearly half a million Instagram users were pleased to see the couple finally on their way to getting hitched as they flooded the images with likes, while several took to the comments to express so.
One such fan gushed, "Finally xxx, I've been waiting a long time – so happy for the both of you; you deserve to be together FOREVER; you are a perfect match, made in heaven with love xxxxxxxxxx."
A second commenter wrote, "I'm so happy for you! Congratulations to you both!!! Another exclaimed, "Cheeeeehuuuuuuuu. Congratulations. – all my aloha." Subsequently, a fourth follower remarked, "Congrats! You deserve it! I can even hear 'Just Say Yes' (written by Gary Lightbody) with these pictures)."
One more enthusiastic fan raved, "Congrats, Necoleon!!!!!! Yessss so happy for you!!! You guys are gorgeous together!" before another declared, "Congratulations, beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Next level excited for you both!!!!" Scherzinger and Evans are pretty low-key when it comes to their relationship. However, their fans would recall that it all began when the former rugby player appeared as a contestant on "X Factor: Celebrity" four years ago.
Per Cosmopolitan, the American songwriter was a judge on the show at the time while her now-fiancé was part of a group, Try Star, alongside two other Rugby union players. Although the group was placed fifth on the show, that did not stop Scherzinger and Evans from forming a connection, as two months later, they were spotted hanging out.
On January 5, 2020, the engaged couple went red carpet official at the Golden Globes afterparty in Beverly Hills, which was only three months after their first encounter. Six months later, the phenomenal dancer met her man's parents, as seen in a sweet Instagram update on Evans' feed, celebrating Father's Day.
Given how private the couple is about their romance, it may have come as a surprise when Scherzinger referenced it in an interview with The Times in 2021. She initially opened up about struggling with and overcoming her insecurities with her past relationships but with Evans, she was "really grateful" to have built a "healthy, strong solid foundation" for their relationship.
Similarly, the 38-year-old sportsman had only good things to say about his lover in an interview with the Sun that same year – he praised her for being "lovely and stunning in every possible way."
The 'Poison' Vocalist Dated Several Athletes Before Her Romance With Her Fiancé
Before Scherzinger found the one in Evan, and they decided to take their relationship to the next level, the Pussycat Doll lead singer seemed to have a thing for athletes.
Looking back at her dating history, she has had her fair share of being with sportsmen. Scherzinger dated Bulgarian pro tennis player Grigor Dimitrov from 2015 to 2018. Before then, she was said to have had a two-month affair in early 2015 with Swiss soccer player Pajtim Kasami.
In 2007, the "Moana" actress had the longest relationship with British race car driver Lewis Hamilton whom she met at that year's MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich. The past lovers had an on-and-off involvement until 2015 when they called it quits for good.
Besides athletes, Scherzinger has been romantically linked with a couple of entertainers, including Harry Styles, Dane Cook, Nick Hexum, and even Nick Cannon.
