Love match: Scherzinger dates tennis star Dimitrov

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole’s netted Serena & Sharapova’s ex

POP star Nicole Scherzinger is dating tennis player Grigor Dimitrov.

The ex-Pussycat Doll and former X Factor judge has been in a secret relationship with the Bulgarian since he dumped Maria Sharapova in July.

Grigor, 24, who made the 2014 Wimbledon semi-finals, is 13 years her junior and has been described as the sexiest man in tennis.

And the romance has infuriated Nicole’s F1 champ ex Lewis Hamilton, who now wants to give their relationship one more go.

Lewis, 30, attended a private gig at a London nightclub on the same night as Nicole, 37, this month in an unsuccessful bid to win her back.

Grigor is ranked world No28 after slipping from No8 in August last year.

He previously had a high-profile love triangle as Russian tennis beauty Maria, 28, openly battled with his fellow court star ex, 34-year-old Serena Williams, for his affections.

Last night a showbiz source revealed: “Nicole is dating Grigor. They’re completely besotted with each other.

“But they’ve been careful not to be pictured together because they don’t want the pressure of the relationship being in the public eye.

“Lewis knows and is very unhappy. It’s made him realise he isn’t over her.

“He’s been desperately trying to talk to Nicole over the last few weeks.”

Nicole was pictured kissing Swiss footballer Pajtim Kasami, 23, in June and The Sun on Sunday also revealed she had a fling with Brit singer Ed Sheeran, 24.
