Rachel Stevens and Brendyn Hatfield have finally made things Instagram official as the couple shared some backstage photos together at the S Club 7 reunion tour.
Singer Rachel, 45, met pro skater Brendyn after being matched with him when she was a contestant on Dancing On Ice 2022, but isn't thought to have started dating him until more recently.
The pair are rarely photographed together, but posted on social media together for the first time with photos of them standing with Rachel's children behind the scenes at the Good Times tour.
Mum-of-two Rachel hugged her daughters Amelie, 12, and nine-year-old Minnie in the snaps where she stood next to Brendyn, who commented on the post with a sweet message of support.

Rachel, whose post also included photos with her bandmates, wrote: "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.
"Love you all and here’s to the good times."
Brendyn commented: "So proud of you xxx," adding a heart and another emoji of a face surrounded by hearts.
Rachel split from husband Alex Bourne in July 2022 and is later thought to have started dating Brendyn, who she had stayed friends with after they skated together on Dancing On Ice.
The pair did not spend long on the show as they were voted out third, but apparently stayed close after the ITV series ended.
The Good Times 25th anniversary tour has been an emotional one for S Club 7 following the shock death of bandmate Paul Cattermole in April from heart issues.
Speaking on This Morning in July, the group told how they had chosen songs for their tour with Paul in mind and bandmate Jon Lee said: "We talk about him all the time, there's always moments where we're like, 'Paul would have loved this.'"
Jo O'Meara commented on Rachel's post from the tour: "So nice to be back together again," while Jon added: "I'm so glad we are on this journey together. I love you very much x."
