\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tTheir relationship apparently didn’t have that X Factor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nicole Scherzinger, a judge on the music competition show of the same name, has split from her boyfriend of four years, race-car driver Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n

“They’d been long distance for a long time and it’s just been hard,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

“They both tried to make it work, but their careers kept them apart. So for now it’s over. They think this is what’s best. They’re definitely going to stay friends.”<\/p>\n

Packed schedules, including Scherzinger’s duties on The X Factor<\/em> and Hamilton’s position as a leading driver for Formula 1, have kept them both increasingly busy.<\/p>\n

Scherzinger, 33, is based in Los Angeles, while Hamilton, 26, regularly travels the world and has a house in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

It was just last July when the couple were the subject of widespread engagement rumors, though she quickly denied they had plans to marry.<\/p>\n

The pair first met at the European Music Awards in Munich, Germany in November 2007.<\/p>\n
