Nicole Scherzinger has announced her engagement to former Scottish rugby star Thom Evans.

On Tuesday, the X-Factor judge shared the news on social media with her fans.

In a photo posted on the singer’s Instagram, Evans is seen down on one knee and holding a ring box during a beachside proposal.

A caption on the post reads: “I said yes” – accompanied by ring and heart emojis.

Scherzinger, 44, was met with an outpouring of support and excitement from fans and friends in the comments.

American stand-up comedian Ken Jeong wrote: “CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Author Toure Roberts said: “It’s impossible for me to love this any more. Thom is a phenomenal human and a wonderful suitor to match you – my #worldclass friend! We are so happy for you!”

In 2021, during an interview with The Times, Scherzinger opened up about her challenges with past relationships.

She told the paper: “I’ve definitely been through my fair share of insecurities that I’ve fought through and battled, and I’ve gone through challenges and relationships – and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
