Rachel Stevens offers rare update on romance with Dancing On Ice partner Brendyn Hatfield

Rachel Stevens has shared an update on how her romance is going with boyfriend Brendyn Hatfield on Monday.

The S Club 7 star, 47, who was partnered with the pro skater, 38, on Dancing On Ice in 2022, conducted an Instagram Stories Q&A with her fans.

During the session where her followers were able to ask her personal questions, one fan asked the star: ‘How are you and Brendyn (love heart emoji).’ 

Sharing a sweet snap of herself and Brendyn and confirming they were still together, she responded: ‘Really good thank you’ alongside a smiley love heart emoji.

Rachel was previously married to real estate agent and actor Alex Bourne, 48, from 2009 to 2022. 

She announced her separation from her childhood sweetheart in July 2022, just one month shy of their 13th anniversary. The S Club icon then announced she had found love with Dancing On Ice partner Brendyn.

The couple went official with their romance in November 2023 after they were first paired together on the ITV show.

Rachel previously lifted the lid on her separation from Alex during an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, comparing it to ‘jumping off a cliff.’

She admitted: ‘It’s a lot of navigating, especially with the girls because they’ve always been at the forefront.’

‘I’m very lucky, their dad is a great dad, and we’ve always been so aligned with keeping them really safe in it and being really honest.’

‘We’ve had great advice on how to age-appropriately speak to them and help them feel safe in it all because that was my biggest fear – how they are going to be in all of this.’

She continued: ‘You’re changing your life. It’s not only a marriage, it’s a family around it, it’s your friendship groups, your home, your children.’

‘Changing your whole life, for me it felt like jumping off a cliff, like wow, it’s the unknown.’

‘But I’ve always believed that we have to be happy, we have to be true to ourselves, and it’s not something you decide overnight, it’s something that takes so much thought and questioning.’

‘I haven’t talked about it a lot publicly because I’m so mindful of everyone involved.’

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.

They got engaged in June 2008 after 18 months of dating and tied the knot at Claridge’s in London the following year.

The pair walked down the aisle to S Club 7’s hit Never Had A Dream Come True, and her bandmates – Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett – were there to watch them say ‘I do’.

The former couple also share two daughters, Amelie, 14, and Minnie, 11. 

She also discussed her new relationship with Brendyn at the time, adding: ‘We’ve just been really mindful and thoughtful of everyone involved, and it was a very slow process, but when you go through growth in your life, you change and your outlook on life changes.’

‘You realise this is what I need, this is what I want, this is what I deserve. And everything is new, and it all just kind of happens.’

She added: ‘It all just evolves and it’s not black and white, it’s just an amazing growth experience.’
