NICOLE Scherzinger has announced her engagement to ex-rugby player Thom Evans.
The pair made their relationship official in January 2020, and have clearly gone from strength to strength.
Who is Thom Evans?
Thom Evans was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, on April 2, 1985.
The former rugby player spent most of his career playing for Glasgow Warriors and made ten test appearances for Scotland.
He was forced to retire from the sport he loved at the age of 24 following an injury he sustained in a game playing for Scotland against Wales.

After receiving medical advice, as a result of a neck injury, it was no longer viable for him to continue playing such a physical sport.
During a Six Nations game, he collided with Wales' Lee Byrne and was immediately stretchered off the pitch and underwent surgery on his neck that evening.
The neck injury was so severe it was reported that he was very close to paralysis or death.

Show insiders say the pair flirted and texted for weeks before Thom finally asked Nicole out.
An ITV source said: “Thom is completely Nicole’s type. And for his part, Thom was smitten early on — he’s always said Nicole is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
"He fancied her long before meeting her on the show.
"He was initially a bit nervous about starting something up, and ruining his chances on the series, but they had great chemistry from the off."
