Sharing the news, the singer told her Instagram followers: "I just wanted to share with you all that after time and consideration the difficult decision has been made for Alex and I to separate.

"While we are no longer partners in marriage, we will remain partners in parenthood to our beautiful girls and continue with love and respect for each other.

"I feel so incredibly grateful for the life we built together and will now continue to be focused on moving forward united as a family."

The pair who met as children tied the knot in London's Claridge's hotel back in 2009 in front of a star-studded audience.

Rachel and Alex walked down the aisle to her own song, Never Had A Dream Come True from her days in S Club 7.

Speaking about their romance, Rachel told Roxie Nafousi's The Moments That Made Me podcast: "We were childhood sweethearts. We went out with each other when we were 12, we met at youth club and I was besotted with him!

"We went out for probably about four weeks and when you're that age that was a really long time!"

The pair parted ways when they were 18 following a string of on-off romances before meeting once again in their late 20s.

Arguably having the most success after S Club 7 split, Rachel was offered a six-figure solo record deal, before releasing hit song Sweet Dreams My LA Ex.

Rachel reached as high as number two and three in the UK charts with that smash hit, as well as More More More and Some Girls.

However, following a downhill slide after that with her next few songs, her solo career ended after the release of her second album in 2005.

Rachel has still been on our screen, finishing second in Strictly Come Dancing in 2008 and appearing as a guest mentor on The X Factor in New Zealand in 2013.
