NICOLE Scherzinger has announced her engagement to a former Scottish rugby international.
The former The X Factor judge, who rose to fame as a singer with The Pussycat Dolls, told her Instagram followers on Tuesday that she said “yes” following a proposal by Thom Evans, 38.
She also shared images of her reaction to him getting down on one knee and embracing after she agreed to marry him, in a seaside location.
Scherzinger, 44, had been a judge on The X Factor: Celebrity when Evans appeared in the group Try Star alongside other Rugby players.
The couple received congratulations on social media from actress Rebel Wilson, singer Ashlee Simpson, model Naomi Campbell, Lucifer actress Lesley-Ann Brandt and singer Tamar Braxton.
Brandt wrote: “Awe. You two. Congratulations beauties.”

Fashion designer Julien Macdonald, who was a judge on Britain’s Next Top Model, wrote: “Finally xxx I’ve been waiting a long time so happy for the both of you, You deserve to be together FOREVER, your a perfect match, made in heaven with love xxxxxxxx.”
Last month Scherzinger was among the stars performing at the Coronation Concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The US artist has previously been romantically linked to Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton and Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov.
Evans, who has worked as a model, had his rugby career cut short due to a serious neck injury and had a high-profile relationship with model Kelly Brook.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
