Rachel Stevens has reportedly split from her Dancing On Ice co-star after the pair met while on the ITV competition show.
The S Club 7 star, 47, was first rumoured to be dating pro skater Brendyn Hatfield in April 2023.
When she appeared on the show in 2022 she was married to childhood sweetheart Alex Bourne, who appeared on the Netflix reality series Buying London and with whom she shares two daughters, Amelie and Minnie.
However, in July 2022 Rachel shared a statement on social media announcing they were divorcing and nine months later she was linked to the skating pro, who has been on the ITV show since 2020.
Yet Rachel and Brendyn have now reportedly called it quits, amid source claims that the couple drifted apart and felt there was ‘no way forward’.
The source told The Sun: ‘It is incredibly sad and a relatively recent thing. There is still a lot of affection there, and no regrets.

‘But it isn’t easy trying to make a blended family run seamlessly and in the end, tensions between Rachel and Brendyn got too much and they don’t ever want to row in front of their kids who remain their priority.’
Brendyn and his young son are said to have moved out of the home the couple had been sharing.
Rachel has previously said that her marriage had been on the rocks when she met the skating pro.
‘It was messy,’ she said.
‘I knew that we were growing, that I was growing apart, but I was in turmoil, because first of all, my kids,’ she told The Sun on Sunday’s Fabulous magazine.
Recalling telling Alex about her feelings for Brendyn, she admitted: ‘It was really scary, because I knew as soon as I said that, that was it.’
She went on to call Brendyn a ‘beautiful human’ and added that she ‘really loves him’.
When publicly announcing her divorce, Rachel said she felt ‘incredibly grateful’ for the life they had built together.
She later said their split was ‘really painful and sad’.
Brendyn also had previously separated from his wife, Jessica, and it was reported in 2023 that the skater had welcomed a child with one of the TV executives who worked on Dancing on Ice.
Metro contacted Rachel Stevens and Brendyn Hatfield’s representatives for comment.
