Rachel Stevens' 'blended family' with Dancing On Ice star after leaving husband

Rachel Stevens has shared a rare insight into her new 'blended family' after splitting from her husband.

The S Club 7 singer, 45, finally went Instagram official with Dancing On Ice boyfriend Brendyn Hatfield last month after meeting on the ITV competition in 2022. It came after Rachel and her estate agent husband Alex Bourne decided to call time on their romance in July last year after being together for over a decade.

Rachel decided to give fans a look into her festive celebrations with her new man and her daughters Amelie, 12, and Minnie, nine. The clan enjoyed a night at London's Chiltern Firehouse, where the girls posed for selfies in the swanky bathroom before joining ice skater Brendyn.

Alongside the snaps, Rachel wrote: "A beautiful blended Christmas with our babas. Hope you had a gorgeous day with your loved ones xxx." Last month Rachel shared behind the scene moments from S Club 7's Good Times tour. Rachel has been touring with her remaining bandmates on an 11-date nationwide arena tour as they celebrated their 25th anniversary.

Brendyn featured in some of the snaps as he paid a visit to Rachel with her two children. She gushed: "I just wanted to thank you for all the love and support and energy over the these last few months. It was SO gorgeous looking out at your beautiful faces every night, connecting with you all meeting so many of you who had travelled from all over the world to come and see our show. It really is such a privilege to be up on that stage and perform for you… especially as it’s 25 years since we started. It really felt so incredibly special to feel so much love, joy and positivity."

She added: "Love you all and here’s to the good times." Both Brendyn and Rachel skated together on the ITV skating show last year and remained in contact after the show came to an end. A source told The Sun: "Rachel had a really great friendship and partnership with Brendyn and it keeps developing. They’re really smitten and looking forward to the future. She wasn’t expecting to find love again at this stage in her life but she’s feeling positive about what’s to come and hopeful about a new start."

Earlier this year Rachel teased that she's preparing to write a tell-all memoir where she will detail her split. The singer shared her announcement weeks after her former bandmateHannah Spearrittconfirmed she will also be spilling all the gossip in a new book.

Next year, Rachel's side of the story is set to hit shelves and she's hinted that nothing is off limits following her split from her husband Alex last year. Sharing the news with her fans on Instagram, the singer wrote: "Hi everyone, I am SO excited to finally announce that behind the scenes, I've been working on a brand new, very personal project… I've written my first-ever book! FINDING MY VOICE: A Story of Strength, Self-Belief and S Club 7 will publish on the 25th April next year. There's so much I haven't had the confidence to share before now. I can't wait to let you in and share my story with you all."
