Nicole Scherzinger engaged to Thom Evans after stunning beach proposal

Nicole Scherzinger has got engaged to her partner Thom Evans, with him having seemingly proposed whilst the couple enjoyed a holiday to Hawaii together recently.

The singer-songwriter, 44, and the former rugby union player, 38, shared the news of their engagement with their respective followers on Instagram this evening.

The couple - who are understood to have been together for a little more than three years - announced the news alongside a photo that showed Thom proposing to Nicole.

He was seen down on one knee whilst she covered her face with her hands. Another photo, shared by Nicole, showed them embracing, seemingly after the proposal.

Confirming the engagement, Nicole told her followers on the platform: "I said yes". Whilst her fiancé Thom wrote in the caption that accompanied his post: "My Ever After".

It comes after Nicole posted earlier this week that she had returned to her home state Hawaii. She'd shared photos of herself enjoying some time at a beach on Oahu - suggesting that the couple may have got engaged on the island this week.

Nicole and Thom have been met with supportive messages in the comment sections of their respective posts, including receiving a message from his older brother Max Evans.

Max responded to the post uploaded by his brother, with him having written: "Love you so much Sister Sugar [Nicole]. Overjoyed for you both, one heaven of a wedding".
