Fans of Nicole Scherzinger were surprised and happy to learn on Monday that the star seems to have found herself a new man. Nicole was spotted kissing footballer Pajtim Kasami in Mykonos - where she was celebrating her 37th birthday - suggesting she has moved on since her split from longterm love Lewis Hamilton in February.
While Nicole has stayed quiet about her new love interest, it is believed that they met on the sun-soaked getaway. The pair appear to have become close over the course of their holiday with Pajtim joining Nicole and a group of friends on a boat trip and helping the star to celebrate her birthday.

So who is Nicole's new love interest? We've rounded up all you need to know about the 23-year-old footballer.
Patjim was born in Andelfingen, Switzerland to an Albanian family. He qualifies to play international football for Switzerland and has played for the Swiss senior team since 2013.
The footballer was signed for Fulham Football Club on a £5million contract in July 2011. He played for the team until July 2014 when they were relegated from the Premier League.
Pajtim now plays for the Greek team Olympiacos, and often shares pictures alongside his teammates with his 59,000 followers on Instagram.

Former Fulham manager has described the player as a "perfectionist", telling the Daily Mail: "He's always very disappointed in himself. That was the first thing we had to work on.
"He needs to keep his feet on the ground. He's a very level-headed boy."
Pajtim celebrated his 23rd birthday on 2 June, making him 14 years younger than his new love interest Nicole.
The Swiss footballer is the first person Nicole has been linked to since she and Lewis Hamilton called time on their on-off seven year relationship in February. While Nicole admitted that she was "devastated" by the split, it appears there is no bad blood between the pair, with Lewis sharing a sweet birthday message to his ex on Monday.
