Nicole Scherzinger: 'Cosmopolitan UK' Cover Girl!

Nicole Scherzinger sparkles in a pretty pink dress on the September cover of Cosmopolitan UK, on stands now.

Here’s what the 34-year-old entertainer had to share:

On what boyfriend Lewis Hamilton taught her about life: “Well, I didn’t know anything about Formula One until I met him (laughs). We’re from similar upbringings, so we share a similar outlook. We’re kindred spirits and hearts – that’s what ultimately connects us. I’m very close with his family too; we’re all close.”

On her secret to making her relationship with Lewis work: “You have to love yourself first before you can expect it from someone else. And trust and communication is key.”

On starting a family: “I always read in the papers that ‘Nicole wants babies’, and I’ve never said I wanted babies NOW (laughs). I’m not ready yet, but as I come from a big family, one day I’d like to have my own.”
