The 32-year-old star, who has been dating Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton on and off for the past three years, cannot meet him often due to career commitments but doesn't go longer than a month without meeting,
reported Contactmusic.
"More than a month is a little too long. I wouldn't wish long distance on anyone," Scherzinger said. The former Pussycat Dolls member is very supportive of Hamilton's career but misses being able to cheer him at his races.
"It's hard. I know that as much as I support him, he sees other drivers who have their girls with them the whole time," she said. However, Scherzinger insisted she is an "independent woman", which is very important to her.
"I'm my own independent woman. I take pride in coming from humble beginnings and taking care financially of my whole family. You have to stand up for what you believe in, what you want and who you are," she said.
