NICOLE Scherzinger paid tribute to boyfriend Thom Evans for showing her the "true meaning of love" on her birthday.
The Pussyact Doll singer, who turned 42 today, first met Thom, 35, when he appeared on X Factor: Celebrity last October and began dating the following month.
Their romance has been going from strength-to-strength ever since and last week Nicole was introduced to his parents, Brian and Sally, in Portugal.
Proving that their relationship is right on track, The Masked Singer US judge took to Instagram to share a slew of loved-up snap with the former sports star from their trip abroad while reflecting on her birthday.
And while the couple looked happier than ever in the snaps, it was Nicole's caption that was sure to leave her 4.5million followers fawning as she thanked Thom for "never giving up on" her and "overwhelming love".
She began her tribute with: "A Birthday Prayer Of Gratitude."
Nicole then romantically wrote: "Thank you God for another year around the sun.
"For a new day, fresh breath in my lungs and my heart beating stronger than ever, I’m so grateful. Thank you for your grace and this unexpected gift of time.
"Thank you for the joy and overwhelming love I am able to receive today from family, friends and so many around the world," she added.
"Thank you for being so good to me and for never giving up on me, you’ve shown me the true meaning of love, happiness & peace, and I am eternally grateful."
She then signed off the captioned with, "Your little Nicole xo".
Under her prayer of gratitude, she shared: "It’s so important to take time to reflect on how fortunate and blessed we are, now more so than ever.
"Hold on, don’t lose faith. God is good."
Last week, the rugby hunk and Nicole flew from London to Portugal to meet the ex-rugby ace’s parents.
The lovebirds went all out as they made the trip in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic for the milestone moment.
Marking the occasion with a photo, Thom could be seen sitting on the sofa next to his dad Brian, as Nicole wrapped her arms affectionately around her man's neck.
The Scotsman can be seen tenderly touching one of her hands as his mum Sally and dad beam for the camera.
Thom captioned the image: “Happy Fathers Day Dad. Love ya 9iron Brian.”
