Nicole Scherzinger started 2026 the way a lot of us wish we could: with a genuine reset.
The Tony Award-winning actress spent weeks in the Maldives with fiancé Thom Evans, and by her own description, this trip was about far more than a tan.
She called it exactly that, a “reset,” and the photos backed it up.
A getaway she called her 2026 “reset”
Scherzinger spent the majority of January resting at the One & Only Reethi Rah resort with Evans, a former Scottish international rugby player she first met in 2019 while judging The X Factor: Celebrity.
Between paddleboarding, sunbathing and quiet mornings by the water, she leaned into what she described as genuine downtime after a demanding year that included winning a Tony Award for Best Actress.
Two looks that stood out from a month of sunshine
Early in the trip, Scherzinger shared a pastel triangle bikini moment, throwing her hands up joyfully in the sun before walking into the water to meet Evans.
She closed out the getaway in a plunging orange halterneck bikini with a bold keyhole cutout, a look she paired with playful videos and trending sounds, including a nod to the “You Rock My World” dance challenge.
Coming off a Tony-winning year, watching Scherzinger actually give herself permission to slow down is the kind of moment that means more than any bikini ever could.
This is exactly the kind of celebrity story The South African loves following in 2026, and honestly, watching Scherzinger since I was a kid to now, I’m continually in awe of how she’s kept her career going while staying this fit and healthy.
Every time she posts, I catch myself thinking, “wow, her body,” and I’m already looking forward to whatever she shares next.
Do you have a “reset” ritual after a big year, or does life just keep moving?
