Nicole has been busy painting a smile on her face as she goes about her X Factor business following her break up from boyfriend Lewis , but it sounds like he's having harder time preventing the chin wobbles.
The Formula 1 driver has spoken about the decision to split from the delectable former Pussycat Doll and said he's lost someone "really special".
"I'm trying my hardest to be positive but I'm going through a really, really tough time at the moment with the loss of someone really, really special in my life. My world's turned upside down," he said like someone who probably needs a huge hug.
It sounds like Lewis is trying out the classic heartbreak cure of throwing himself into his work though, which is just as well because he just finished fifth in the German Grand Prix at the weekend and it's not particularly advisable to drive with tears in your eyes at a million miles an hour.
And then there's the fact that Lewis has people relying on him too.
"I have a job to motivate my team," he told Sky Sports. "And if I come in with my head down and negative energy then that goes around to all my mechanics who work day and night, and I don't ever want that.
"So I'm really trying to pull myself together and keep my head up but it's so hard to do."
Right there is when we hope the reporter gave him a cuddle.
Last week it was revealed the ridiculously good looking couple had decided to call it a day after five years together and Nicole was said to be "heartbroken".
A source close to Nic said it was made harder by the fact they'd been talking about getting hitched recently.
"They'd been talking about marriage so you can imagine how upsetting this whole thing has been for her," they said.
Lewis recently talked about the possibility of making an honest woman out of Nicole, saying: "We've been together for five years, which is quite a milestone really.
"But hopefully in the near future. Maybe before we get to six years."
It looks like the pressures of having totally fabulous careers took its toll on them though and the distance they were forced to keep, with Nicole based here in the UK while X Factor auditions take place and Lewis travelling the world to race incredibly noisy, meant they rarely saw each other.
An insider revealed: "They're both very busy people and have been forced to spend a lot of time apart.
"Sometimes they would barely see each other for weeks on end. It was hard to keep the relationship going from afar.
"Who knows whether things might change in a year's time. They do still love each other, but they are not together as it stands."
The last time the couple were pictured together was at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on June 10.
They first hit it off when they were introduced at the European Music Awards in Munich in November 2007 and eventually announced to the world they were an item at the Monaco Grand Prix six months later.
But their romance has had its share of ups and downs.
They briefly parted in January 2010 before reconciling. Then they split again in late 2011 and got back together early last year. We predict a reconciliation in around six months. In the meantime, check out Nicole being a brave girl and getting on with it - while looking smoking hot, naturally.
