Nicole Scherzinger has celebrated with fans online after revealing she is now engaged. The former Pussycat Dolls singer shared the news that boyfriend Thom Evans popped the question after she returned home to Hawaii in a sweet Instagram post.
A picture shared on the social media site showed rugby star Thom down on one knee in front of a seemingly stunned and beaming Nicole. The singer and TV star had her hands over her face in utter shock at the proposal as Thom stared at her adoringly while holding a little box with a ring inside.
But despite the surprise, she ultimately shared the good news with her fans. "I said yes," the 44-year-old wrote alongside the joyous post, which featured a post-engagement selfie of the pair, followed by a ring and a heart emoji.

Thom, 38, also shared the happy news with his own followers. Sharing the same pictures as his now-fiancee, the sportsman simply wrote: "My Ever After," with a ring and a heart emoji.
The loved-up couple have been together since 2020. Thom is an ex-Scotland international rugby player who was forced to retire when he was injured in 2010.
But he also shares musical talents with his new fiancée as he was a member of pop group Twen2y4Se7en and has toured as a support act with McFly, Peter Andre and Westlife in the past.
And it didn't take long for the congratulatory messages to come flooding in. Former Pussycat Doll bandmate Kimberley Wyatt wrote: "I’m so happy for you! Congratulations to you both!!!" Singer JoJo said: "Congratulations beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next level excited for you both!!!!"
Paris Hilton posted: "Congratulations love!" Actress Rebel Wilson commented: "Congrats Nicole!" Nicole's former X Factor mentoree and now TV and radio star Rylan Clark typed: "OH MY GOOOOODDDDDD CONGRATS YOU TWO," before also adding a GIF of the iconic moment he sobbed on Nicole's lap during the ITV talent show more than 10 years ago
The engagement was seemingly made while the pair were spending time in Hawaii. An earlier Instagram post showed Nicola posing on Makaha Beach in Oahu, alongside which she wrote: "She’s home #localgirl." She is originally from Honolulu.
