Lewis Cope’s ex-girlfriend, Rachel Lopez, has revealed she was left ‘broken’ after she and the Strictly Come Dancing contestant called time on their relationship after almost a decade
Lewis Cope’s now ex-girlfriend, Rachel Lopez, has said she is “broken” after their split. Just last month, the former Strictly Come Dancing star and actress Rachel called time on their relationship after eight years together.
Both Lewis, 31, and Rachel had previously shared aspects of their seemingly happy romance on social media, but the relationship came to an end over the summer.
Fans had speculated about the relationship after both Lewis and Rachel stopped sharing pictures of one another.
But now, weeks on, Rachel has taken to social media to say she’s been through a turbulent couple of weeks, which left her “broken”. However, she added that her “faith in humanity” had been restored.

In view of her 9,356 followers on Instagram, Rachel wrote: “100 @lululemon ambassadors came together, and in this one room, I discovered that sometimes the people who feel most like home are the ones you are yet to meet.
“I arrived broken, and left with a restored faith in humanity. I found people who don’t compete for the light, but make space for everyone to shine. There is something extraordinary about genuine connection, empathy and finding the people you never knew you were searching for.
“And somehow, I found them all in one room. Thank you for bringing me back, for holding space for me. I finally feel safe enough to become her again.” It was said that Rachel was in “pain” after the breakup, which she didn’t see coming, but she has decided to channel her energy into her career.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “It has been a difficult time for Rachel – break-ups are never easy, and it wasn’t necessarily something she was expecting.
“She has confided in close pals who have been there to support her through it all. Heartbreak is never a nice thing to go through, particularly when it is in the public eye.”
They added: “Rachel has also been incredibly stoic throughout it all. She has done her best to keep things private and low-key and does not wish to make a big song and dance about it – even amidst the pain it has caused her.” The source went on to say that Rachel’s confidence had “taken a little knock”.
However, she’s set on putting the split firmly in her past in order to excel in her career. “She has got some fantastic opportunities on the horizon,” the source commented.
When Lewis joined Strictly last year, he said Rachel was far from worried about the show’s infamous curse. He said at the time: “Over the years I’ve had to kiss a lot of people on stage or onscreen, as an actor, so she’s used to me kissing boys actually, but it hasn’t been a problem.”
“Katya and Rachel have all met; it’s never been a conversation between us,” he added.
