Nicole Scherzinger talks about how her life has changed as she's gotten older, including how she sees her future with boyfriend of six years, Lewis Hamilton.

"My 20s were fruitful but not enjoyable," Nicole Scherzinger told The Guardian. "Being in the Pussycat Dolls was probably my loneliest time because I was quite insatiable. Nothing was ever good enough and I didn't know how to take a break. My 30s have definitely been more chillaxed."

The 36-year-old former "X Factor" judge is definitely a lot more "chillaxed," admitting that she and boyfriend Lewis Hamilton spend their time playing board games and watching movies, Handbag.com reports.

Nicole recently told the Daily Mail that she eventually wants to settle down and raise a family.

"Everything else in our lives is out there, we need to have a tiny private bit that's just ours," she said.

"Whenever someone asks me whether I want children, it's hard to answer because then the headlines will be, 'Nicole wants a baby now,' which isn't true.

"I do come from a large and close-knit family and when the time is right, and it's God's will, I'd like to have lots of children.

"But not at this stage; that's much further down the line. Right now my self-expression is my music."

We're glad Nicole is taking it slow, and we think her relationship with Lewis is strengthening in the meantime.

As we previously reported, Scherzy opened up in the August issue of Cosmopolitan magazine about her tough long distance relationship with Lewis Hamilton, Express UK reports. She called it "crazy romantic" but not easy.

"Relationships are hard and having to hold a long-distance relationship is even harder," she said.

"It's kudos to us for growing and trying - there's so much love there. It's just the distance, it's not natural for anyone. But I'm good and I'm happy."

But when asked if she would cut back on her work to spend more time with her boyfriend, the gorgeous lady stuck to her guns.

"No, absolutely not. This is my passion, I have so much more to give, and with him - whether we're on or off - I wholeheartedly support him in everything he does," she said.

"It's good we have that love and respect for each other."
