Washington, Nov 10 : Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger has empathized with Victoria Beckham, insisting that she now understands how "exhausting" it is to be a sports star’s partner.

The singer, who was trackside in South America to witness her racing driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton’s triumph at 2008 Formula One World Champonship, admits that she found the experience completely draining.

Scherzinger says that she can now empathise with Posh - whose soccer star husband David plays for Los Angeles Galaxy, and recently signed for AC Milan - because supporting a sports star partner is a lot of hard work.

"It was like time stood still, like being on a giant rollercoaster. At times I dared not look and kept peeking through my fingers to see what was happening,” Contactmusic quoted Scherzinger, as saying.

“I now know what Victoria Beckham goes through watching David at all those games - you get really exhausted," she added. (ANI)
