We are both driven people who are serious about our work, so we are very supportive of the time we do have together,” Scherzinger told the Daily Mail in 2007. Finding time for each other can get complicated, but we find a way to work it out. And it just makes things more interesting when we do get together,”

I’m trying to stay strong in my faith right now.”

Scherzinger said on The Jonathan Ross Show that they aren’t in contact anymore. “I don’t see anything negative; I think it’s quite natural when people separate and go their own ways. You just have to be adult about it and just always wish the other person happiness, success and love — like, sincerely — and I do. We don’t, like, talk,” she said.
