Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger dated on and off for a good part of 7 years before calling it quits in 2015.

The duo was often in the headlines throughout their dating life. However, since then Hamilton has decided to keep his private life to himself.

In a recent interview with American pop culture magazine Vanity Fair, he opened up on his relationship with former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger.

In the interview with Vanity Fair, he said, “I learned the hard way”.

Hamilton further spoke about the repercussion, which was not having any long-term relationships in recent years. He said, “I’m really just super focused on work... I can’t do two things or three things at once, I’ve got to focus on one.”

He concluded by saying, “I really wanted to go through a growth process of getting myself to a point where I’m happy on my own, comfortable in my space.”

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger were the star couple of the F1 world up until their breakup. Eventually, the two had different reasons to share for their breakup.

While speaking to The Sun, Hamilton said, “It may be slightly different in that we are traveling as much as we are, and you are just away for crazy amounts of time”.

He further added, “So that’s probably an additional weight that makes it really, really tough to hold down a good relationship, and if things aren’t quite perfect.”

Nicole, on the other hand, in an interview with People, said “Sometimes people stay in relationships because they get complacent because it’s comfortable for them because they don’t want to be alone.”
