According to reports in The Sun, Jamie asked Nicole out on a date via mutual friends after discovering she had split with the Bulgarian.
A friend revealed to the tabloid: “Jamie has been very keen on Nicole but would never have tried it on when she was with Grigor. Since their split, he expressed an interest in dating her but the time isn’t right for Nicole. She is on a break from Grigor and she deserves an amazing man, but she’s focusing on herself and her career.”
