Rachel Stevens, S Club star, reportedly broke up with her Dancing On Ice pro boyfriend, who she described as “soulmate.” The singer, 47, is alleged to have broken up with Brendyn Hatfield, leaving her with her for the first time in 20 years.
According to legend, they “blended family” and “drifted apart” and struggled with their relationship. Her divorce comes after her marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Alex Bourne, broke down three years later.
A source described the split as “incredibly sad and relatively recent.” “Both Rachel and Brendyn believed there was no way for them to move forward,” they said.

She previously had a relationship with Alex (Getty Images).
According to a source, “Rachel recently took herself to Marbella with her two daughters to get some much-needed headspace,” and Brendyn and his young son have since moved into a flat.
They claimed that while Rachel and Brendyn’s relationship is “not regrettable,” tensions “got too high.” According to the former couple, the split was a “huge transition” and they did not want to row in front of their children.
Despite the romantic ending, Rachel and Brendyn reportedly want to keep in touch. In November of this year, the couple announced their romance.
They collaborated on ITV’s Dancing On Ice, and it was followed by that. Rachel admitted to the Mirror earlier this year that “my life has drastically changed over the last few years.
My life has really taken a whole new direction as a result of my divorce, moving, and selling our family home. Although having my kids and having them as my top priority haven’t changed much, the situation has.
She continued, “She filled her cup by having one-on-one nights with both of her daughters, as well as one for herself and Brendyn, who she described as a “lovely person, a lovely soul.”
Alex, Rachel’s ex-husband, revealed in May that he is expecting their first child together with their new wife. Just one month before their 13th wedding anniversary, the couple split in 2022.
She claimed that while they were no longer “partners in marriage,” “they would continue to be” parents to raise their two daughters, Amelie, 12, and Minnie, 9, respectively.
Although Alex acknowledged that their separation was “terrifying,” she praised how they had united for their children. He said, “We handled it really well, and it was terrifying at the beginning and it’s not easy. I suppose we are a blended family, which is totally acceptable.
He said, “I’m happily in a relationship and have a supportive partner, who my kids adore,” and he was referring to both himself and Rachel’s finding love. My ex-wife and I have a fulfilling relationship, and we support one another very much.
Rachel’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment.

Emma was associated with fellow YouTuber Ethan Dolan, one of the Dolan Twins, who she frequently collaborated with at the height of her internet fame (believe it or not she once boasted far more than 12 million followers on her main channel).

There have been rumors that Emma may have made a relationship with musician Tucker Pillsbury, better known by his stage name Role Model, since 2020. They amplified these with a joint appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March 2022.
They didn’t officially confirm their relationship until a year later in a joint GQ interview conducted in February 2023, despite frequent spotted together after that.
A successful actor and director acknowledged in an important interview that he gave when he was a teenager that had a significant impact on his career that things could have been so different.

Without one choice during a crucial teen casting interview, Jamil Walker Smith’s situation might have been drastically different. When the actor and director, now 43, auditioned for a role in a show that quickly became a big hit in childhood entertainment, he was only 13 years old.
His success saw him land the part as the voice of Gerald in hit 90s animated comedy, Hey Arnold. And he later went on to star on other hit shows, such as Sister, Sister and Stargate Universe.
And talking to longtime pal and fellow voiceover actor on the show, Justin Shenkarow, Jamil revealed just how the role came about.

Jamil and Tom Borowski co-host Justin’s podcast Established in the 1990s. What was it like when you auditioned for the show, Justin quickly explained to his pal: “You know, I never found out.
Jamil replied: “What was it like? It was kinda weird. It was fun…. you know how it is. You go out for so many auditions you don’t remember any of them and then you book one and you’re just happy you’re on it.”
He continued, “I can recall that it was in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip.” That is what I recall.
He claimed he can’t recall if there was a photo of the show at the time and that he was 13 at the time of the audition. Jamil continued, “I don’t remember,” while Justin replied that he had been shown one.
I am aware of this fact. I did it with less of a voice when I did it. Because of that, I’m probably sitting here right now because I probably would have been replaced after the first season because everyone’s voices change.
Justin Shenkarow also voiced a Hey Arnold character(Image: established.inthe90s/instagram)
Jamil opened up about his interview process(Image: established.inthe90s/instagram)
Justin later admitted to doing the same thing for his character Harold the bully while reflecting on his earlier behavior. Jamil continued, “It’s a cartoon but it’s a TV show. ” Explaining why he thinks Hey Arnold has endured the test of time. It resembles a sitcom in some way. A series is involved.
“It’s like real kids doing real things having real experiences in a cartoon world… it was about something. So I think people are hungry, starving, for something that is about something.”
He explained that the characters on the show weren’t caricatures and had a lot of people’s connections. Then Jamil said he thought Arnold’s character, who has grown up, should be a counselor and that the show might make a comeback.
He also joked that Gerald should lead the city and that they could be friends with one of their former flames to bolster the drama of the show.
Former Love Islander Lochan Nowacki has revealed what he believes to be the “real reason” behind ex-Wolson’s esoteric “racism” claims following a dramatic split.
Love Island star Lochan Nowacki has taken to TikTok to share what he believes was the motivation for his ex Whitney Adebayo recently making some bombshell claims about their time together.
In 2023, the pair met on the ITV2 dating show Love Island and ultimately placed as runners-up. Earlier this year, Whitney publicly announced their split and later claimed Lochan called her skin “dirty” during their relationship, an allegation he strongly denies.
It was revealed last week, after both people shared their version of what happened between them on social media, that Lochan is in the process of taking legal action against Whitney. Now, he has spoken about the situation again and suggested his “chemistry” with a female influencer is the real reason he feels Whitney has made allegations.
Whitney and Lochan, the stars of Love Island, made a public announcement about their split in April.
In his video, Lochan disproved both Whitney’s claims and Lochan’s interpretation of the timeline of their breakup. He began with the couple’s public announcement that they were splitting in April 2025, then makes reference to a video he and Too Hot To Handle’s Brianna Balram worked on in July.
Whitney continues, “As a result of her dig at this collab on Snapchat, saying “using another sister or clickbait.” The female collab guest stated in a podcast that we had good chemistry one week later, on July 31.
Whitney posted a TikTok accusing me of regularly calling her skin dirty on August 1st. She confirmed that this post was about me on August 2nd.
There was no mention of racial discrimination against me after our breakup, he continued. However, negative, false comments about me, my family, and my friends start to come out as soon as I collaborate with a woman.
Whitney claims Lochan called her skin “dirty”, an allegation he denies(Image: Tiktok/whitneyadebay0)
Lochan previously explained why he sought legal counsel to refute the allegations, claiming that he had “no other choice” when he did so. According to reports, he allegedly worked with a legal team similar to those David Walliams used to settle his legal dispute with Britain’s Got Talent.
He claimed that “a number of posts made disparaging remarks about my family, friends, and I” have been made. “I tried to resolve this situation through the use of force,” I said. I thought I had no choice but to proceed in this direction.
Whitney’s attorney, who spoke with the media after the legal proceedings were announced, said: “Whitney has instructed her own legal team and is very confident in her position. Mr. Nowacki will vigorously defend any claim that comes up.
She also accused him of callin her ‘Sofia’, a Black character from The Color Purple(Image: Instagram/ @lochan_nowacki)
Whitney also provided screenshots of text messages Lochan claims he “f*ked up” with the “dirty skin” comment in response to the lawsuit.
She claimed in another post that he called her “Sofia,” a Black male from the novel The Colour Purple, who is forced to work for a white mayor and his wife as a form of imprisonment, and tagged his account. Lochan also disputed this assertion, accusing Whitney of “twisting the truth.”
Whitney once more stated on Instagram, “Racial ignorance is at an all-time high.” You’re not a black woman, so when you make “these jokes,” you can never tell me how you feel. I will always have the right to tell my story in one year, two years, or even ten years later.
You still chose to ignore my story, even though I didn’t understand how these comments made me feel, especially now that I’m not in my love zone. Your actions demonstrate that there was never love, but rather money and reputation. Bring it to a game.
Noel Fielding, the Great British Bake Off host, has been dating Lliana Bird for more than ten years, but the comedian has long been connected to a number of famous women.

The eccentric host of The Great British Bake Off, Noel Fielding, is set to jump back into his hosting duties on the Channel 4 show tonight as it returns for it’s sixteenth series.
Noel, 52, is renowned for his quirky style, often donning vibrant shirts or jumpers and an array of cowboy boots. His television career kicked off decades ago when he co-created The Mighty Boosh with Julian Barratt, a show that was hugely successful and earned him numerous awards in the Noughties.
The actor and TV presenter has since appeared in numerous well-known comedies including Nathan Barley and The IT Crowd before establishing his own Channel 4 program, Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy. Prior to his current role on Bake Off, he also served as the team captain on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
But what is Noel’s life like away from the cameras? The Great British Bake Off star has had several high-profile relationships over the years, but is currently with long-term partner Lliana Bird, with whom he shares two children. Here’s everything we know about the TV star’s romantic history as he prepares to return for the iconic baking series.

Noel has been working with Lliana Bird, a 43-year-old broadcaster, podcaster, writer, and activist since 2010. When Noel is suddenly caught on camera, the couple, who live in a leafy suburb of Highgate, North London, live quietly with their two young children.
Noel and Lliana, who they affectionately referred to as Birdy, gave birth to their first child in 2018, and they named her Dali, presumably in honor of the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Dali, their first child, is now thought to be seven years old.
Iggy, their second daughter, was just five years old when she was born in August 2020.
Birdy has appeared in numerous theatre productions in addition to her media career.

She co-founded Choose Love, a charitable organization that helps refugees and displaced people all over the world, and co-founded her own production company, Bird and Be.
She previously held the position of radio host for Radio X on Sunday evenings. Additionally, she co-authored The Mice Who Sing For Sex: And Other Weird Tales From The World Of Science.
The mother-of-two revealed last year that her debut children’s book was a “total dream” and that she had published it.
Posting on Instagram to her 32,000 followers, she shared at the time of it’s release: “I’m over the moon to finally be able to share some news I’ve been holding in for a long time. This September my first children’s book will be published, by the incredible Rocket Bird Books. I honestly couldn’t be prouder to be one of their writers… It’s a total dream.”
Delia Gaitskell

Noel had a relationship with Delia Gaitskell, a member of the film Robots in Disguise, before they started dating.
Dee, 48, has appeared in numerous episodes of The Mighty Boosh and occasionally with bandmate Sue Denim, possibly because of their first encounter.
Dee and Noel were together for reportedly ten years, but despite his current status as hosts of the Bake Off, it is said that during their relationship in his earlier years, the television host was helpless in the kitchen.
Ted, Noel’s father, claimed that Noel “freakly cooked for my daughter.” Ted explained that Noel would never do anything but order some pasta and some sauce, expressing his shock that Noel had been cast in the Bake Off. I’m surprised he’s doing the job. He never, ever, had any interest in cooking.
Even though Noel was romantically linked to a number of other women during his “wild phase,” including Courtney Love and Bob Geldof’s daughter Pixie, Dee and Noel continue to be close friends despite their separation.
Courtney Love

Noel frequently pictured with Hole vocalist Courtney Love, who was famously wed to Kurt Cobain’s Kurt Cobain. According to reports, the pair reportedly started dating in 2006, and later their close friendship turned into a blossoming romance.
Noel and Courtney, 61, were frequently seen holding hands and appearing intimate during London nights out in the Noughties, particularly in Camden, where he socialized with Amy Winehouse and Alison Mosshart from The Kills, who he is also said to have had a brief romance with.
Noel recalled a more reckless time in his Never Mind the Buzzcocks appearance when he admitted to using excessive amounts of cocaine and acknowledged that things were “a little dicey” before he became sober about ten years ago.
He recalled saying, “OK, you gotta go home now, you gotta go home,” while mimicking Courtney’s voice. It is over. Go home now that the party is over.
Pixie Geldof

Noel also had a romantic relationship with Pixie, the daughter of Boomtown Rats legend Bob Geldof. The Evening Standard reported that Pixie and Noel had been “canoodling” and “couldn’t take her eyes off him” in 2007.
Pixie was only 16 years old at the time, and Noel was 33 years old at the time.
Noel described Pixie as “unbelievable,” according to The Sun. Although she is much younger, there is chemistry between us and we liked each other.

He refuted claims that they were romantically involved, saying, “When I first met her, I had no idea who she was and how young. Because her father obviously wanted to kill me, it created many issues.
Noel maintained that the pair were “just friends” and rejected suggestions that they were ever romantically linked, but they were also photographed appearing intimate two years later in 2009 in a photo.
Noel said, “These things are just like fairytales aren’t they?” when he spoke at the Galaxy British Book Awards.

After celebrating their second anniversary in June, the presenter revealed details of her union to football player Bradley Dack.

Olivia Attwood has claimed that Bradley Dack and her football team are not in a “perfect relationship.”
The former Love Island star married the Gillingham midfielder in 2023 and their relationship has been the subject of a string of headlines over the years.
Ahead of the release of the second series of her series Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends, in which she whips badly behaved men into shape, Attwood told the PA news agency: “Perfect doesn’t exist, and everyone’s idea of a perfect relationship is different.
When viewers watch that, I ask them to remember that as well. You can’t write the rules for another couple; some things are non-negotiable in one relationship, but they are acceptable in another.

The presenter has admitted their marriage isn’t “perfect”(Image: Instagram)
Although we tongue-in-cheek say in the show that we are a perfect couple, Brad and I are not perfect. Although our relationship is imperfect, it is just as good as it was for me.
Finding someone to be your life partner is where it works, where it makes your life better rather than worse, in my opinion.
And I believe that the show’s central theme is that what works for one person won’t work for everyone, and that is true of all people.
The new series of Bad Boyfriends is coming soon to ITV2(Image: ITV)
Eight unsuspecting men were taken to a Greek island on the premise that Attwood would film a series about manhood and bromance, but the series’ producers were shocked when it was revealed that their girlfriends would be their girlfriends.
The contestants battled it out to become the most improved boyfriend in 11 episodes as they competed in a number of challenges designed to change their ways.
Attwood remarked, “This series is braver. The stories do, in my opinion, go a little deeper. You always have the chance to push the show in the direction you know it can take, in my opinion, with the second series.
Is your partner’s timeline the same as yours when you’re in your 30s and contemplating your next steps in life?
Because of the fact that many people are younger and not at that stage yet, I believe timelines and relationships can be decisive factors. They had a lot of bravery when they shared that tale with us.
Bad Boyfriends, starring Olivia Attwood, will soon be on ITV2.
