Posted July 22, 200717 yr Budding actress Rachel Stevens is clearly enjoying a fine romance with new love actor Alex Leigh, as the pair displayed their affection in public for all to see. It's a sight that will come as a shot through the heart of many a man as former S Club 7 singer Rachel passionately kissed her new love in a north London cafe. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/s_club_tete/Outras/rstevens1gotcha468x521in4.jpg The former teeny bopping singer, long a favourite of men's magazines FHM and Loaded, was seen in a passionate clinch at the cafe near her Hampstead home. Rachel, who recently returned to UK following a long stay in Los Angeles, where she was linked with Hollywood hunk Stephen Dorff, is seemingly in the grip of the first flush of love, as she and Leigh, 30, unselfconciously kissed and canoodled in front of an appreciative audience. The young couple seem very keen to publicly declare their affection - some might say lust - for one another. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/s_club_tete/Outras/rstevens2gotcha468x546hl9.jpg One could speculate that it may be linked to the fact that the acting career Rachel's been hoping for, has yet to materialise - and the singing career is clearly well and truly over. New boyfriend Leigh's acting career is none too prolific, with a bit part in axed soap Family Affairs in 2005, and a role as a waiter in 2001. Cynicism aside, the budding actress, who broke off her engagement with former Holby City actor Jeremy Edwards in 2004 is clearly enjoying a fine romance with her new amour. But like any other couple they have their ups and downs too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/s_club_tete/Outras/rstevensgotcha468x394ze9.jpg A source told Daily Mail online the couple had a blazing row in the middle of a west London street recently, which was so heated, they didn't notice when his car almost ran them over! Anyway, all seems forgotten and the couple have obviously kissed and made-up. Well, you would wouldn't you! Story and pictures from the daily mail, links for the pictures from Sexy Stevens.
