Scots rugby star Thom Evans has broken his silence amid claims that he has split up with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger.
The pair, who have been together for three years, reportedly called time on their relationship which was said to have left Thom 'distraught', according to The Sun. However, it appears that this may not have been the case as the rugby ace has spoken out about the recent rumours.
Taking to his Instagram story, the 37-year-old Scottish rugby player dispelled any claims of a split, writing: "wow this is news to us. What a joke."
He seemingly confirmed that the relationship was still going strong as he added: "See you for Valentine's Day babe @nicolescherzinger."
Nicole, 44, shared the same message to her 5.6 million Instagram followers, except she tagged Thom at the end instead of herself.
The pair often post loved-up snaps on their social media pages, with Thom saying he'd met Nicole's parents over the Christmas period. The couple were last spotted together on New Year's Eve.
It comes after claims of Thom moving back to the UK after globetrotting with Nicole. A source said that the pair had split, leaving the former Glasgow Warriors player 'distraught'.
Nicole and Thom first met in 2019 when the rugby player appeared on Celebrity X Factor as a member of the boy band Try Star alongside fellow rugby players Ben Foden and Levi Davis. Following the show's conclusion, Thom and Nicole kept their relationship quiet for several months before going public in an Instagram post.
