Nicole Scherzinger Splits From Her Longtime Love

The phrase "X Factor" has a whole new meaning to the judge of the hit FOX show, Nicole Scherzinger. According to reports, the former Pussycat Doll has called things off with her boyfriend of four years, race-car driver, Lewis Hamilton.

PEOPLE magazine is reporting that the on-again/off-again couple are most definitely off-again, blaming their busy schedules and long distances for the split. "They'd been long distance for a long time and it's just been hard," a source tells PEOPLE. "They both tried to make it work, but their careers kept them apart. So for now it's over. They think this is what's best. They're definitely going to stay friends."

News of the split may come as a surprise to fans -- after all, many thought Nicole and Lewis were heading down the aisle, not for a breakup. Just this past summer, engagement rumors reached such a fever pitch, the then-couple felt the need to take to Twitter to clear things up. "Lewis and I woke up this morning and read we were engaged! Sorry to disappoint u all but its not true:)," Scherzinger Tweeted at the time.

Heartache has most definitely been on Nicole's mind as of late. Just last week, the singer dropped the video 'Try With Me,' off of her upcoming solo debut album, 'Killer Love.' In the song, Nicole waxes poetic about finding love after a break-up and taking chances on a new guy. Fingers crossed that the song's positive outlook will help lift Nicole's spirit during this tough time.

OMG! She's beautiful and has a great voice...Check ur archives cuz Im pretty sure none of the other singers listed on the Eden's Crush CD did anything exciting. NOW I KNOW WHY SOME OF THESE KIDS TODAY THINK BULLYING IS OK, nice job! Be ashamed of yourself. There's a difference between an educated opinion and stupidity. Reading these comments is scary. So much animosity for someone you dont even know! Fortunately, I am pretty sure she has the confidence to laugh these bad comments off but not everyone does. I can only imagine what you negative people have to say about others in your actual life! Leave her alone, what did she do to you?! Rock on Nicole, you're a star!

Nicole is ugly? That is the completely laughable. This is a very beautiful and talented woman. Any man would be lucky to have her.

At this point, it seems, she'd be lucky to have a man! Have you watched her on X Factor? She flirts with every available guy. she's very phony, starting with her breast, they aren't real either!

Now that she's getting that big pay check, she won't be needing a man.

She was the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. Did you read the article? Don't be mad, you know you wouldn't mind being her!

When you read the fine print on any Pussycat Dolls album you'll see she is the ONLY singer of the Pussycat Dolls.

Video is really beautiful she looks amazing. I too am upset about the choices on XFactor...Dont know why she let a talented people go... and kept a James Brown impersonater she must have a reason...I do not think we need another James Brown...cause there is only one....I think she made a mistake...
