S Club celebrity Rachel Stevens has reportedly ended her relationship with her Dancing On Ice partner, whom she had referred to as her “soulmate.” The 47-year-old singer is said to have parted ways with ice skater Brendyn Hatfield, making her single after two decades.
The couple is believed to have grown apart and faced challenges with their “blended family.” This split follows Rachel’s divorce from her childhood sweetheart, Alex Bourne, three years ago.
A source revealed that the separation was recent and deeply saddening for both Rachel and Brendyn, who felt there was no way to move forward together. Rachel took a trip to Marbella with her daughters for some space, while Brendyn and his son moved out of their family home into a separate flat.
Although there are no regrets, tensions between Rachel and Brendyn reached a breaking point, leading to a significant transition for the former couple. Despite the romantic end to their relationship, both parties reportedly aim to maintain a friendship. They publicly acknowledged their romance in November 2022 when they were paired on Dancing On Ice.
Earlier this year, Rachel shared with the Mirror how her life had undergone substantial changes recently, including her divorce, relocation, and selling their family home. She emphasized her dedication to her children and mentioned the challenges and transformations she has faced.
In May, Rachel’s ex-husband Alex announced that he and his new wife are expecting their first child. Although they split a month before their 13th wedding anniversary in 2022, Rachel and Alex remain committed to co-parenting their daughters.
Alex praised their successful co-parenting efforts, acknowledging the initial fears and challenges of their separation. He highlighted that both he and Rachel have found happiness in new relationships and continue to support each other.
Requests for comments from Rachel’s representatives by The Mirror remain unanswered.
