Yet Nicole Scherzinger and Grigor Dimitrov truly silenced their critics as they put on an extremely cosy display during a trip to Paris on Sunday.
The 37-year-old former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman jetted to the French capital to watch her beau, 25, play in the French Open against Roland Garros - a match he sadly lost.
Drowning the dancer's figure for which she has become known, she sported the extremely loose fitting look without a care in the world.
She showed off her youthful complexion by going totally make-up free while her hair was worn in an unkempt style - proving herself to be at total ease.
Grigor meanwhile sported a camouflage hoodie in a plethora of shades of blue, while he wore matching navy tracksuit bottoms to coordinate with Nicole's.
Pulling on a Nike cap, he cut a low-key figure, although his teetering stature made him stand out, particularly when walking alongside his diminutive girlfriend.
The evening walk was no doubt bittersweet, given his defeat at the start of the French Open, after which he said: 'I’ve lost a lot of confidence in myself. It’s not easy to come off losing those kind of matches... What scares me is that I’m really not finding a way and usually I’m pretty good at bouncing back.'
Last month it was claimed that she called time on her relationship with Grigor, yet Nicole's representatives confirmed to MailOnline that reports of the pair’s split are ‘completely false’.
A source reportedly told The Sun: ‘Nicole is at a different stage in life to Grigor. She really likes him but wants to settle down – something he’s not quite ready for.
‘It’s the situation she had with Lewis, which is why the relationship stalled. She’s aware she is not getting any younger and wants kids.’
Nicole and Grigor reportedly began dating in July last year, shortly after he broke off his two-year romance with fellow tennis star Maria Sharapova.
Nicole was formely dating Formula 1 champ Lewis Hamilton on and off for seven years, with both parties said to be heartbroken when they went their separate ways in May last year.
At 25, the handsome Bulgarian is 12 years Nicole's junior and the brunette beauty went public with the World no 28 as she was pictured kissing him at a tournament in Australia.
