Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger made headlines a couple of weeks ago for allegedly getting together romantically, surprising all their fans. However, it seems that their supposed relationship wasn't meant to be.
Mirror UK reported that the famed singers stopped seeing each other romantically because of the 13-year gap between them.
"They were never serious and it's now old news. The age gap was too big for them but they remain on good terms," an insider close to the former couple reportedly told the entertainment site.
Previous reports suggested that the 37-year-old former Pussycat Doll member grew to like the 24-year-old acoustic crooner after breaking up with her Formula 1 ex-boyfriend Lewis Hamilton. She supposedly turned to the Grammy nominated singer's songs after the split.
Scherzinger was even spotted at Sheeran's Wembley Arena gig last July, posting a photo of themselves backstage.
"As far as he's concerned they were in the early stages of dating and he's been open about it with close friends and colleagues," a source reportedly said about Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger's budding relationship earlier this month.
The "Thinking Out Loud" singer was also speculated to have brought his rumored new flame to his hometown in Framlingham, Suffolk. They reportedly surprised locals when they "ate pizza and drank beers at his favourite pub."
"Nicole met Ed's family at the Wembley gig and really hit it off, so he invited her to hang out in his home village of Framlingham in Suffolk a few days later," the report further revealed.
On the other hand, Perez Hilton previously insisted that Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger never really dated.
"The former Pussycat Doll's rep says the only relationship between the two singers is a purely platonic one," the gossip site said.
The "Photograph" singer has been linked to several women since he broke up with food production assistant Athina Andrelos. He had been romantically linked to models Barbara Palvin, Louise Johnston and even Selena Gomez.
