After splitting from long-time love Lewis in February, former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger looks to have found love in the arms of a tennis star!
The Sun reports that Nicole, 37, has been enjoying a romance with 24-year-old Bulgarian player Grigor Dimitrov since July. The pair’s dalliance is said to have begun shortly after Grigor split from his fellow tennis pro girlfriend Maria Sharapova.
“They’re completely besotted with each other,” an insider told The Sun.
“But they’ve been careful not to be pictured together because they don’t want the pressure of the relationship being in the public eye.”
That’s not all the budding couple have to contend with, however. Nicole’s ex Lewis is said to be shaken by the news of her relationship, which comes on the heels of the two being spotted together at a John Newman gig last month.
Nicole and her Formula 1 racer beau Lewis called it quits in February, after an on-again, off-again relationship that spanned seven years in total. Now that Nicole looks to have moved on, Lewis is reportedly anxious to rekindle the romance with his former flame.
“Lewis knows and is very unhappy,” the source told The Sun.
“He’s been desperately trying to talk to Nicole over the last few weeks.”

Nicole’s red-hot love life has set tongues wagging ever since her split from Lewis. In June, the star was pictured locking lips with Swiss footballer Pajtim Kasami during her 37th birthday party in Greece, and in August, Nicole and Ed Sheeran were rumoured to be getting close after she was spotted backstage at one of his gigs.
As for Grigor, he had love troubles of his own to deal with after he and Maria called time on their relationship of two years.
“Our paths parted,” he said at the time, adding that he wished his ex “much happiness and success” both on and off the court. Behind the scenes, however, there were rumours his romance with Maria caused tension between the athlete and her tennis rival Serena Williams.
Grigor and Serena previously dated in early 2012 before he moved on with Maria, who has kept up an 11-year rivalry with Serena on the court.
