Nicole Scherzinger Reveals Why She and Fiancé Thom Evans Aren't Planning Their Wedding
@Source: people.com
Nicole Scherzinger is putting her wedding on the back burner — and for good reason.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer, 46, got engaged to her fiancé, former Scottish rugby player Thom Evans, in 2023. Two years later, wedding planning isn’t a top priority because, as she recently told HELLO! magazine, when you’re on Broadway, there’s no room in your schedule for much else.
Scherzinger has been busy starring in Sunset Blvd., her Broadway debut. It also turned into a Tony-winning turn last month, when she won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for the role.
Thankfully, she told Hello!, Evans, 40, has been more than understanding where her Broadway career and the musical are concerned.
“Oh, there’s no wedding planning, honey,” she told the magazine. “When you do Broadway, it's only Broadway. You eat, sleep — you don't sleep much — and breathe Broadway.”
That being said, she added, "Thank God I have a very understanding and wonderful and the most supportive fiancé.”
Scherzinger and Evans met in 2019 on the set of The X Factor: Celebrity. The former rugby player formed singing trio Try Star with fellow U.K. rugby players Levi Davis and Ben Foden, who competed with him on the show, for which Scherzinger was a judge.
Evans later expressed gratitude for meeting Scherzinger "naturally," rather than, say, "sliding into her DMs,” he told The Sun in 2021.
"People always say, ‘When you know, you know,’ and I can honestly say I’d never really had that moment," he told the outlet. "But within the first couple of days with Nicole, it was just awesome and it has been awesome ever since.”
The couple began dating in 2019, but they did not take their romance public until they attended a Golden Globe Awards afterparty red carpet together the following year, in January 2020.

Speaking about the former athlete months later, in November 2020, Scherzinger told Extra, "It's just a blessing to have a normal, healthy relationship.”
Evans later popped the question on the beach, and The Masked Singer judge shared the news in June 2023.
"I said yes 💍♥️," Scherzinger captioned her Instagram post. "My Ever After 💍❤️,” Evans added in a post of his own.
The former athlete later said that the proposal was "one of the best days of my life." And, speaking with Men's Health magazine in 2024, he said that "getting married... and starting a family" with the singer is "something I can’t wait for.”
