I decided not to clog the Lewis thread up with this, so here it is in a topic all if it's own. Some of this comes from an article I've read recently, some I've gleaned over the years and some is my thoughts. Take what you want from it to decide whether you think Nicole is good for Lewis or bad for Lewis or just ignore it completely.
Nicole Scherzinger, 35 yrs old, born in Honolulu to a half Hawaiian , half Ukrainian mother and a Filipino father. Her father deserted the family when she was two and she was brought up in Kentucky where she was adopted by her German stepfather whose name she took. They were relatively poor but from an early age she had a desperate desire to sing or act, so much so that her parents managed to send her to a dramatic arts school. At this school she strived always to be the best. She was brought up a Roman Catholic and remains deeply religious. She had confidence issues as a youngster and suffered from bulimia. (she now eats healthily indulging in French cheese and favourite sweets when the fancy takes. She is now comfortable in her own skin and proud if her curves). In the pussycat dolls she was often considered bossy." I'm not bossy " she said, but she admitted she is a perfectionist and will work and work until things are right.
She began her career in girl band that won Popstars( American idol) she then joined Pussycat dolls where she was once supported by the little known Rhianna and Lady Gaga. She then began a solo career with several hits. Whatever she does, she gives 100%. She has a high work ethic and gets emotionally involved in her work. On X factor she invested so totally in the contestants she helped it drained her emotionally and took all her time, she had to put her own music on hold. Now she has left X factor to concentrate in her own career. She has a recording deal, a single due out this summer and an album in the autumn. She also does Muller yoghurt adverts and designs for her favourite online clothing brand 'Misguided' http://www.missguided.co.uk/Nicole this is not high end market stuff like Victoria Beckham, you can get dresses for £25.
So, that's Nicole. Lewis you all know, but the similarities are startling.
Both From relatively poor backgrounds. Both had a burning desire to follow a certain path. Despite difficulties both supported by parents. Both with a talent that transcended a likely career outcome. Both with high work ethics. Both had their parents split up when they were two. Both outwardly emotional. Both felt somewhat apart from the society they were in ( Lewis bullied, Nicole suffering bulimia). Both overcame these difficulties . Both very religious. Both hold family as very very important.
They have both said they are sole mates. Even during a split Lewis described Nicole as the love of his life, there could be no other, he said. They've been together for six years, and that while trying to juggle two high profile and time consuming careers and living in different continents. Twice they decided it was unworkable but both were miserable apart. They are still together and grab time when they can. One of their favourite things to do together is visit the supermarket and chose food for a meal ( fajitas or pasta) . They go out for meals sometimes but Lewis hasn't been 'out' out since New Year's Eve.
Nicole would like a family but says that's much further down the line, she doesn't want one yet, but she adds, if she says anything to the press the headlines will be 'Nicole wants a baby now' , everything gets twisted. He lives in Monaco and she is based in Los Angeles. When asked if they have a future together she is coy. Everything about us is out there, she says, we want to keep a little bit private, just for us.
I say they are perfect for each other. You make your choice.
