Personal Life
Scherzinger met Nick Hexum of rock band 311 backstage at a Days of the New concert in 2001. They dated and later became engaged, but broke it off around November 2004. She was the inspiration for their song "Amber" and appeared in the music video. She also dated actor Talan Torriero from 2005 to 2007. Since 2008, Scherzinger has been in a relationship with Lewis Hamilton. In January 2010, it was announced that Hamilton and Scherzinger had split up. The couple reunited in early 2012, and remain in a relationship.
In 2012, Scherzinger publicly revealed her eight-year struggle with bulimia, explaining how during her time in the Pussycat Dolls, "I just hated myself. I was in a group but I never felt so alone in my life ... I never did drugs, but hurting myself was my addiction. The music is what saved me. That's the only thing I can trust."

“Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“One’s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.”
