'It's not easy to navigate, but it's life. It's showing kids there's more than just getting married and having kids. We've grown up thinking we have to conform and it isn't like that. Our generation are breaking that barrier', as reported by the Mirror.

Rachel addressed her concerns about the potential impact of the divorce on her children but stressed the importance of ensuring their sense of security, stating, 'Alex and I are very aligned on that,' she expressed. 'It was all about them and making them feel we are there and we're not going anywhere.' 'It's definitely a process and it's taken a lot of navigating – and will for some time. Whatever is going on between us, we try to keep as separate as we can. We never speak badly of each other. We're going to make mistakes along the way but we're doing our best.'
