“We are very similar and can relate to one another a lot. We are both driven people who are serious about our work, so we are very supportive of the time we do have together. Finding time for each other can get complicated, but we find a way to work it out. And it just makes things more interesting when we do get together.” 

While the couple kept the nitty-gritty details of their relationship private, Nicole could often be seen supporting Lewis at his races, apart from them attending other public events together. They went on to date on and off for seven years before splitting for good in 2015.
