Myleene Klass has opened up about one of the most devastating moments of her life – discovering her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheating with a well-known celebrity at her own birthday party. Speaking on the We Need To Talk podcast, the Loose Women presenter recounted the painful betrayal that took place years before their marriage.
“I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony,” Myleene, now 47, said. “I’m in my house, it’s my party. They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other.” Shocked and furious, she ended the party immediately and kicked everyone out, including Graham’s own parents.
Although she didn’t name the woman involved, Myleene hinted the person was a celebrity known for building a “family brand.” After being caught, Graham blamed the incident on alcohol and apologised.
Despite claiming she has “made peace with the situation,” Myleene admits the betrayal shattered her life at the time. “My life literally broke apart very, very publicly,” she told host Paul C Brunson.
Therapist Stefan Walter believes the betrayal may have left deep emotional scars comparable to PTSD. “These traumas don’t just disappear. Emotional wounds like this resurface and challenge one’s self-worth.”
A source close to Myleene said she may never fully recover. “She believed in love and wanted to stay married forever. It’s only now that she can truly share how painful that chapter was.”
Myleene and Graham were together for years before marrying in 2011, just months after the birth of their second daughter Hero Harper. But Graham walked out only six months later. Their divorce in 2013 left Myleene emotionally and financially devastated. “I couldn’t breathe,” she said. “Finances were spiralling. I thought, ‘I’m going to lose everything.’”
She also revealed she cried through her wedding day. “I sobbed the entire reception. My best friend wasn’t even there. It was miserable,” she admitted.
Despite swearing off marriage, Myleene found love again with PR executive Simon Motson, whom she met on a blind date in 2015. After enduring four heartbreaking miscarriages, she gave birth to their son Apollo in 2019, calling him her “rainbow baby.” She later wrote, “I am Mama to 7 babies: Ava, Hero, Apollo and 4 little stars in the sky.”
The couple got engaged in 2020 but have yet to tie the knot. “It’s one of those things that’s rumbling along,” she said last year.
