Rachel Stevens reveals she 'isolated' herself from ex-husband Alex Bourne during 13-year marriage for fears of becoming 'too close'


The S Club star, 46, announced she had separated from her childhood sweetheart, 47, in July 2022, just one month shy of their 13-year anniversary.

Appearing on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast, Rachel candidly explained how her behaviour stemmed from the breakdown of her relationship with her father (pictured at the Attitude Awards on Wednesday evening) Rachel has since found love with Dancing On Ice skater Brendyn Hatfield, going official in November after first being paired together on the ITV show and striking up a friendship in early 2022. The former couple were childhood sweethearts and reconnected in the mid-2000s when Rachel was launching her solo career and Alex was still trying to make it as an actor in Los Angeles (pictured in 2009)
