The singer told Hello! she was heartbroken when she found out her boyfriend already had a partner, and he broke up with her [Rebecca] when she told him about her pregnancy: “I was fuming when I found out, I was so angry. The way I was treated was wrong. I think some people think you’re devastated because you want the man, but it’s not that. It’s devastating for a woman because it’s a normal thing for your child to be wanted.”
However, the former X Factor star also said that she holds no grudge towards the man in question: “I don’t hold any hate towards him. He wasn’t ready to be a dad and that’s up to him. I’m not in his shoes and I can’t force him. I’m happy with his decision now and I wish him and his partner well.”
Luckily for baby Arabella, Rebecca’s ex partner Karl, with whom she has two children, wishes to raise Arabella as his own along with her siblings: “Karl has been a huge support, we’re really good friends. He was there for the birth and he has offered to adopt her and be her dad too. He has given her his name, which is lovely, so she will be the same as the other kids.”
