Ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger says she's broody and 'clock is ticking' to have start family with former Scotland rugby star Thom Evans

She had a chequered romantic history before settling down with a former Scotland rugby star.

Now Nicole Scherzinger has opened up about her desire to start a family with Thom Evans as she celebrated her 46th birthday.

The former Pussycat Doll – who had an on-off relationship with Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton - has been engaged to Mr Evans since last June.

She posted a series of racy snaps on social media to mark ‘another year around the sun’ during a trip to St Moritz, Switzerland.

In a gushing post, Ms Scherzinger wrote: ‘Not just any year— possibly my most daring, brave and redefining year yet.

‘Thank you for your grace as you continue to grow and evolve me. Thank you for the joys and laughter, the struggles and scars.

‘Thank you for the fight that lives within me to never give up and for the surrender and serenity when I need to let go.’

But the singer and actress has admitted in an interview that would love to have a baby with Mr Evans, 39, even though she feels the ‘clock is ticking’.

She said: ‘Oh my gosh, I would love to [have a baby]. I’ve never shied away from that. I can’t wait. It’s like the clock is ticking.

‘I want to have a baby but work calls. But I’m going to have to make time because, yes, I cannot wait to have children.’

Ms Scherzinger met Mr Evans, a former Glasgow Warriors winger, on X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 and they have been dating since 2020.

And she said she has no complaints about his domestic habits, adding: ‘It’s nice, because he likes a system - he’s extremely organised and he’s extremely on time, which is the opposite of me, so he makes me so much better in that way.

‘I don’t know if all rugby players are like this but he’s the cleanest. He’s OCD like me and I just love it. It’s great.’
