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.
Once praised their blended family, Rachel and Brendyn (instagram/ @msrachelstevens).
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.

After the government banned real-money online gaming last month, leaving the world’s richest cricket board scrambling to find a new lead sponsor to replace Indian fantasy sports platform Dream11.
After the central government forbade real-money online games as well as their promotion, including fantasy sports, Dream11, which had signed a three-year contract worth about 3.6 billion rupees ($44m) through 2026, can no longer sponsor the national team.
The Bill 2025 Promotion and Regulating Online Gaming Act was passed last month in India’s upper house of parliament.
Due to cricket’s popularity and the country’s diverse population, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) established a September 16 deadline for new bid submissions.
Although the Asia Cup will begin on September 9 and there will be no front-of-shirt sponsors on the field in the opening week, which includes the marquee game against Pakistan on September 14, the auction is unlikely to remain unsold.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the board is seeking 35 million rupees ($397.6k) per match for bilateral matches and 15 million ($170.4k) per match for India’s participation in the International Cricket Council and Asian Cricket Council tournaments in a three-year sponsorship cycle, according to a citing a source with knowledge of the matter.
Over an estimated 140 games in the 2025-28 cycle, the BCCI expects to generate about 4.52 billion rupees ($51.3m), about 940 million ($10.7m) more than under Dream11’s deal, which was 3.58 billion ($40.7m) for the period July 2023 to March 2026 – an uplift of more than 20 percent.
