Rachel Stevens' breakup

According to The Sun: Rachel Stevens has commented for the first time on her split from Dancing On Ice contestant Brendin Hatfield.

The singer shared her feelings on Instagram, discussing the complicated emotions she faces after their breakup.

She noted:

“Everything happens for a reason. Highs. Lows.

“Wins. Losses. People who come and go.

“Nothing is random.

“Every moment carries a lesson. Every lesson brings you closer to your goal.

“So, when life gets tough, stop, breathe, and remember – there is meaning in this too.”

Rachel shared a photo contemplating the last few months, captioning it: “Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Here are some wise words and quotes that have really touched me lately. I want to share them with those who might need it, sending love.”

The singer also shared a few other significant quotes that reflect her feelings.

• “I am proud of the progress you make, no matter how small it is.”

• “One of the best boundaries you can have is simply not allowing the energy of others to destroy your emotions.

  “Living in your peace when you encounter those who want you to join their storm is a sign of deep maturity.”

• “Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are not responsible for the bad behavior of others towards us, their manipulation, and cruelty. That is on them.

  “As for you, it is how you choose to react, set boundaries, know your worth, and not let their actions affect your beautiful soul.”

• “For the right people, you don’t need to perform to keep your place at the table – you speak, and you are heard – it really is that simple.”

• “I wish more people understood that someone else's inability to love is not a reflection of you not being lovable, but often speaks to their own limitations, wounds, and history of the nervous system.”

The couple's breakup

The singer split from American professional Brendin just nine months after calling him her "soulmate".

Sources claim the couple had been drifting apart and struggled to blend their "blended families".

News of the breakup comes three years after her divorce from childhood friend Alex Bourne.

A friend shared:

“This is incredibly sad and happened quite recently.

“Both Rachel and Brendin felt they had no way forward.

“Rachel recently went to Marbella with her two daughters to get some necessary headspace, while Brendin moved out with his young son from the family home to an apartment.

“There is still a lot of affection, and no regrets.

“But it is hard to make a blended family function without issues, and eventually, the tension between Rachel and Brendin became too much, and they never wanted to argue in front of their children, who remain their priority.”

“This is definitely a big transition for Rachel, who has actually been in relationships for the last two decades, but she will certainly be inundated with offers now that she is back on the market.

“It’s heartbreaking, but Rachel and Brendin hope to maintain a friendly relationship.”

The couple officially announced their relationship in November 2022.

Rachel and Brendin's breakup came as a shock to many of her fans as the pair seemed quite happy together. Both actively tried to find balance between their personal and family lives, and now that this is over, it remains to be seen what steps the singer will take next. Rachel continues to inspire her fans with personal insights and wise quotes that she generously shares through social media, demonstrating her strength and resilience in tough times.
