Nicole Scherzinger opens up about being childless
The 38-year-old singer, who is currently in a relationship with tennis player Grigor Dimitrov, has never married and never had children.
Speaking about her decision to put work before starting a family, the pretty brunette said: "Look at me? I’m not married and I ain’t got no kids yet. I’m still like, ‘let’s go'.
“Of course work has come at a sacrifice. I’ve missed out on life," she added to the Sunday Mirror.
Nicole was in an on-off relationship with Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton for seven years but the pair split at the beginning of 2015.

The former Pussycat Dolls star has spoken about their break-up since, and has insisted she wasn't upset when fellow X Factor judge Simon Cowell told her she should dedicate a song to him during this year's auditions.
“I’m quite light-hearted with all that stuff,” she told the newspaper.
Referencing to a future wedding with 25-year-old Grigor, Nicole continued: "You are in a zone with work, so other things can suffer.

"I never expected marriage and kids by now. I have so much more to give as an artist. Last year I got to do Cats in the West End and that was so fulfilling. I see a vision of what I want as an artist.
"Now I’m going to the top of that mountain. When I get there, then I’ll have time for a family, and kids. It’s a sacrifice when you put your heart into a job. Relationships suffer," she added.
However, one thing that won't suffer is Nicole's X Factor performance.

Tonight fans of the show will find out who she has chosen to take through to the live shows - and it seems they'll be pretty well looked after.
"When the lives shows happen that’s when I roll up my sleeves," she said.
"I go to bed thinking about everything: song choice, production. I think of them as if it were me up there."
The X Factor continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
