Lewis Hamilton denies Scherzinger split

British Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton (24) has denied reports at the weekend that he "dumped" his girlfriend, American singer Nicole Scherzinger (31), last month.

When asked about the reports, Hamilton is quoted by British tabloid paper The Sun as saying after yesterday's Formula One Grand Prix in Italy: "That is bull****. We are still together."

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton have split

According to a report in English tabloid paper The Sunday Mirror, American singer Nicole Scherzinger (31) and British Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton (24) have split.

Hamilton reportedly told the lead singer for American pop girl group Pussycat Dolls about 10 days ago that their relationship of nearly two years was over, saying that he is not ready for marriage and children and that the chance of a reconciliation was not even open for discussion.


A source close to the couple, who met at an MTV awards party in November 2007, told the paper: "Lewis was adamant the relationship had come to an end. He was feeling under pressure to take their union to the next level and he wasn't wanting to become engaged, get married or think about having children.

He wants to play the singles market for a while and enjoy himself. He's still very young, he's incredibly rich and he's not wanting to be tied down into a relationship right now. It's as simple as that. Nicole's mortified, she imagined being with Lewis for a long time and she's shocked that things have ended so suddenly."
