Posing up for Marie Claire’s UK December issue, Nicole Scherzinger seized the opportunity to clear up a few things.

Dishing on her private life, she makes it clear that is exactly that – private. While seen adorning lace gowns and posing sexily on a sofa, the X Factor judge described her relationship with Lewis Hamilton as ‘subdued’, especially when compared to the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Whilst noting that Lewis is based in Monaco, while she flies between LA and London, she insists on the importance of their time being dedicated and separate from everything else.

The interview got juicy when Ms. Scherzinger addressed the accusations of her and Chris Brown kissing whilst on a night out:

“I went to a club with a friend, Will.I.Am, and talked to my friend, Chris. They got those pictures and now everyone thinks one thing and it’s not the truth. It makes you feel like you can’t do anything… I’ve known Chris since he started in the business. He’s like a little brother [to me]. He’s one of the most talented people in the industry.”

All sisterly love, ey?

In the issue – out tomorrow – the ex-Pussycat Doll goes on to discuss the possibility of kids and why she’s in no rush.
