Rachel opened up about how she met her now husband during a segment on Loose Women last year, explaining how they first dated while still at school.
She said: "We were boyfriend and girlfriend when we were 12.
“We were boyfriend and girlfriend on and off during our teens until I got into the band, and he went off and did his stuff.
"Then we bumped into each other randomly in our late twenties, and at that point, I'd sworn off men, but it was really lovely to see him.”
Rachel was fresh from calling off her engagement to actor Jeremy Edwards following four years of dating.
However, after reconnecting with Alex, who works as an actor, it wasn’t long before they were a couple again.
She said: "But I was going off to LA at the time, so no, but then we reconnected. We obviously had all of that history and now, the rest is history.”
Sweet Dreams My LA Ex hitmaker Rachel posted a gorgeous tribute to her husband on Valentine's Day, sharing a number of photos of themselves through their lifelong relationship with her 208,000 Instagram followers.
She wrote: “Puppy love, young love, first love, true love, forever and always love. @alexbeebourne Happy Valentine’s Day."
Rachel married Alex at London hotel Claridges in 2009 and the couple share two children together, Amelie, 10, and Minnie, six.
