What Rachel Stevens had to say about her split from Buying London's Alex Bourne

Rachel and Alex's childhood relationship culminated in a marriage in 2009, but after staying married for 13 years, the couple decided to part ways in 2022. They share two daughters, 13-year-old Amelie and 10-year-old Minnie.

After they decided to separate, Rachel made the news official on her Instagram Stories in July 2022:

"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."

In February 2023, Rachel took to Instagram again to share with her followers that she had moved out of her family home. She said that she felt grateful for the love and support she had gotten along the way and was trusting the process and the magic of new beginnings. In an interview with The Sun published on March 4, Rachel said,

"It’s very hard to articulate the feelings, because there are so many. It’s been really painful, really sad. It’s been the biggest decision to make in our lives, obviously, with our kids".

She also shared that her biggest concern was protecting her daughters from the fallout she had with the Buying London star. She said she understood how the separation of their parents impacts children because her parents separated when she was 17. So, she wanted to ensure they didn't have to go through the same.

She said their split was amicable, helping their case with the children. She also revealed that it had only been two weeks since she hadn't lived with her ex-husband and Buying London star and that it was difficult. But, she said they were braving it with love and respect.
