American singer Nicole Scherzinger is keen to start a family with her rugby star partner, Thom Evans, but is not in a hurry. Scherzinger, 42, a member of the girl band, Pussycat Dolls, has been dating Evans, 35, for almost a year now and went public with their relationship last January.

But the former lover of F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, insisted her plans to have a baby will have to be put on hold due to her tour with the Pussycat Dolls next year. The girl band reunited last year after a 10-year gap. "It`s kind of hard now because I`m supposed to be touring next year, so it`s just about timing. I`ve always wanted a family," she told British portal, The Mirror.
