Rachel Stevens recently shared her ongoing struggle with grief following her divorce three years ago. The former S Club 7 member parted ways with Alex Bourne in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, resulting in two children, Amelia and Minnie. Rachel also faced another heartbreak when her relationship with Brendyn Hatfield came to an end.

During a candid podcast discussion, Rachel expressed the impact of these relationship breakdowns on her emotional wellbeing. She admitted to transitioning from marriage straight into another long-term relationship without fully processing the loss of her marriage.

Rachel revealed that some days she feels empowered, while on others, she finds herself wanting to retreat under the covers to cry. She emphasized the sadness of the situation, not just for herself but also for her children.

The singer opened up about experiencing “mummy guilt” during the divorce, especially concerning her daughters’ well-being amidst the changes in their family dynamic. Alex has since remarried and is expecting a child with his new partner.

Following her split from Alex, Rachel participated in Dancing On Ice, where she met and began dating Brendyn. However, after three years together, their relationship recently came to an end. Despite the breakup, there is mutual affection between them, and they have both moved on to separate living arrangements.

Sources close to the couple cited increasing tensions as the reason for the split, emphasizing the challenges of blending families. Rachel, who had been in a relationship for the past two decades, is now adjusting to this significant change in her personal life.

Taking some time for herself, Rachel traveled to Marbella with her daughters for a break. While the breakup was described as sad, both Rachel and Brendyn are focused on co-parenting and maintaining a positive relationship for the sake of their children.

The source indicated that Rachel’s return to the dating scene may bring forth new opportunities for her.
