However, despite their eight-year-long relationship, people were eventually disappointed to know that Hamilton and Scherzinger never tied the knot. To be fair, let alone getting married, the duo never even got engaged despite being smitten with each other. This left many fans wondering why they never took that next step.

Onlinein 2014, at Rihanna’s Diamond Ball benefit for the Clara Lionel Foundation, the F1 racer spoke of their career-focused lifestyle.
I’m certainly feeling pressure, heat from family members. But Nicole’s massively focused on her work the same as I am. We’re happy just way we are.
While Hamilton’s comments almost hinted at his disinterest in marriage and engagement, the British race car driver later clarified that marriage at “one point… will be for us.” However, while the 40-year-old initially blamed their lack of official commitment on their busy work schedule, Scherzinger seemed to have a whole different story.
According toThe Sun(viaPeople), it was revealed that the singer was very much interested in getting engaged and taking their relationship to the next level. Despite their professions being poles apart and their work schedule affecting their relationship, Scherzinger wanted to start a family with Hamilton, but the latter never popped the question.
Nicole has finally had enough. She knew Lewis had no plans to marry her. She’s completely gutted.
Later on,Lewis Hamiltonadmitted in a 2022 interview withVanity Fairthat his lack of serious relationships and long-term commitment can be attributed to his career. Claiming to be “super focused on work,” the F1 racer seemed to dodge the responsibility of a lifetime commitment by stating how he sucks at multitasking.
The reason behind Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger’s split

After first meeting at an MTV awards ceremony in 2007 and enjoying an on-and-off long-term relationship, Hamilton and Scherzinger called it quits for good in 2015. Despite rumors of an engagement, the Pussycat Dolls singer confirmed that a proposal did not take place, which fans assumed was the reason behind their split.
Although neither of them explicitly revealed the reason behind their separation, Hamilton had hinted at how distance separated them, while revealing how his “world turned upside down” after their split (viaHola!). Further, Scherzinger toldPeoplethat she broke up because she had “lost herself” in the relationship.
Hamilton shared,
It may be slightly different in that we are traveling as much as we are, and you are just away for crazy amounts of time. So that’s probably an additional weight that makes it really, really tough to hold down a good relationship, and if things aren’t quite perfect.
Having separated amicably, Scherzinger shared a positive outlook on their breakup, during an appearance onThe Jonathan Ross Show(viaE! Online). While admitting to having been heartbroken, the singer noted that it was only natural for them to move on and start looking for happiness somewhere else.
I don’t see anything negative; I think it’s quite natural when people separate and go their own ways. You just have to be adult about it and just always wish the other person happiness, success, and love — like, sincerely — and I do.
Later on, while Hamilton went on to have short-term relationships and casual flings, Scherzinger got engaged to retired rugby player Thom Evans in June 2023. After dating since 2019, Evans wasted no time in popping the question and settling down with the singer, unlike the F1 racer.
