The 37-year-old singer may have split from Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton eight months ago following an on-again off-again eight-year romance, but she's adamant she'll eventually settle down and start a family of her own.

Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper's Weekend magazine, she said with a smile: "I will definitely get married and have kids. It's just who I am inside..."

Although the former Pussycat Dolls star has remained tight-lipped on the reason behind her split with the British sportsman, she has admitted she's doing "good" and is excited for a "new adventure" after landing a job on Neil Patrick Harris' new NBC variety show 'Best Time Ever'.

Asked how she is doing after the breakup, she said: "Things are good. I think it's all about having a refreshing outlook on life, looking at things in a positive, uplifting way and having gratitude. I'm very blessed."

Nicole, who recently denied rumours she is dating Ed Sheeran, grew up in Hawaii, but has moved to New York for her new project after spending much of the last few years working in London to be near Lewis, 30.

She said previously: "I'm super stoked because I've always wanted to live in New York. It was a dream of mine because I grew up on the stage. And all of my friends [from my childhood] all live here.

"I'm excited that my work has brought me this new adventure, this new journey in life. 'Best Time Ever' has brought me here and I love where I live. Things are good."
