Why did Lewis Hamilton end his relationship with Nicole?

As reported by Express. co. UK, Hamilton, and Scherzinger broke up in mid-2015 after being in a relationship for seven years. Hamilton stated that it was their busy schedules that led to the end of their romance. Nicole was one of the judges on X-Factor UK while also balancing her singing career.

On the other hand, Hamilton was fighting for race wins and world championships in Formula One and traveling all around the world.

“It’s similar to most sportsmen and women. 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,” said Hamilton.

“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. In general, for athletes, having the right mindset and trying to find the right balance of how dedicated you are as opposed to resting back and enjoying your quality time, it’s different for everyone.” concluded the 7-time world champion.

Although Hamilton and Scherzinger are not together anymore, it is nice to see that they parted on good terms and do not have any animosity towards each other.
