Rachel Stevens shared a quote about the ‘highs and lows’ after her split
The pop star ended her three year romance with Dancing On Ice star Brendyn Hatfield
She said: “Everything happens for a reason. The highs. The lows.
“The wins. The losses. The people who come in. And the ones who leave.
“None of it is random.
“Every moment carries a lesson. Every lesson is guiding you closer to your purpose.
“So when life feels heavy, pause, breathe and remember – there’s meaning in this too.”
She shared a photo of herself as she reflected on recent months.
Rachel captioned it: “Hey all. Hope you’re having a great week here are a few wise words and quotes that have really resonated with me recently. I wanted to share for anyone who may need need to hear this, sending love.”
The singer separated from American pro just nine months after branding him her “soulmate”.
Sources claim the pair drifted apart – and struggled to reconcile their “blended family”.
News of the separation comes three years on from the end of her marriage to childhood sweetheart, Alex Bourne.
A friend said: “It is incredibly sad and a relatively recent thing.
“Both Rachel and Brendyn felt there was no way forward for them.
“Rachel recently took herself to Marbella with her two daughters to get some much-needed headspace, and Brendyn and his young son have now moved out of the family home into a flat.
“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.
“It is obviously a huge transition for Rachel who has efefctively been in a relationship for the past two decades – but she will doubtless be inundated with offers now she’s back on the market.
“It is heartbreaking but Rachel and Brendyn hope to maintain a friendship.”
The couple first went official with their romance in November 2022.
