Nicole Scherzinger caused a storm for a sensational snap with former Rugby League ace Thom Evans just a day after labeling the pair as a ‘power couple’.

Lovestruck Nicole, 44, and ex-Glasgow Warriors player Thom, 38, first met when she was a judge on a celebrity edition of the X Factor – and they quickly hit it off.

The inseparable couple are now a fixture on Nicole’s Instagram, but on Friday morning it was Thom who posted a photo showing them having a good time in Lisbon.

Nicole flaunted her age-defying looks in a flowy leopard print maxi dress, while adding a touch of her signature glamor with open toe heels.

The former Pussycat Doll, known for her cheeky 2005 debut Don’t Cha Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me, also got a designer handbag as an accessory.

Nicole sat on a couch for some sensational sunset snaps during their Portuguese getawya on Thursday night.

Thom also enjoyed the company of brother Max – a fellow rugby ace – when the pair attended a golf event while in Lisbon.

The event was organized by Glistian Events, a company that promises ‘tailor-made’ and ‘authentic’ experiences and assures its members: ‘Happiness can be bought!’

In previous posts, Nicole made it clear that she gets along with Thom’s brother, who has previously publicly declared her “music queen.”

Max made a cheeky reference to his younger brother’s masculinity, joking that Thom is “bigger, better looking and has a much bigger penis.” according to The Sun.

Nicole looked excited to enjoy some time off after a fast-paced schedule this year that saw her visit multiple continents.
