Scherzinger's father confirms her engagement

Nicole Scherzinger's father has reportedly confirmed that she is engaged to her Formula 1 racing driver boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton.

In an interview in The Mail on Sunday, the Pussycat Dolls' father Alfonso Valiente said that Hamilton proposed to the singer, who he has been dating for four years.

Valiente, who had not spoken publicly about his daughter before, said he refers to Hamilton as his "future son-in-law".

He said: "You know about the proposal? Yes they are engaged. My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down-to-earth. My family all like him. The good spirit is there."

He also spoke about meeting the former world champion for the first time, saying: "When he walked into the house for the first time he picked up one of the babies. That went down very well. He is sincere and he and my daughter seem genuinely happy together. Lewis is a really good guy."

Scherzinger recently replaced Cheryl Cole as a judge on the US version of The X Factor.
