EXCLUSIVE: Loose Women's Myleene Klass has opened up about the moment she caught her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with a famous star at her own birthday party
Myleene Klass has talked about the devastating moment she caught her ex Graham Quinn cheating on her with a well-known celebrity at her own birthday party. Speaking on the We Need To Talk podcast, the Loose Women star, 47, alleged that the shock incident happened at her home, well before they married.
‌
'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony,' said Myleene. 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other,' she claimed. 'I kicked everybody out of the party – including his mum and dad.'
‌
The mum-of-three didn't name the celeb in question, but she added that the woman was famous for building 'a family brand.' In the wake of the alleged dalliance, Myleene claimed Graham apologised and blamed it on alcohol. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response.
‌
Despite insisting she has 'made peace with that situation", Myleene says it turned her world upside down. 'My life literally broke apart very, very publicly,' she told podcast host Paul C Brunson.
‌
Despite happening over a decade ago, trauma therapist Stefan Walter tells new such a distressing discovery inevitably caused long-lasting scars. 'Any betrayal shakes us to our core – we think we're in a loving, trusting relationship, and that our partner is loyal to us, too. When those beliefs are suddenly shattered, it causes emotional trauma that can become hidden – sometimes for decades.'
Stefan likens Myleene's experience to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), saying, 'With something like this, you often keep reliving it and having nightmares. Emotional trauma is just as profound as physical pain, if not more so.'
He adds that Graham's reported infidelity may have led Myleene to doubt herself. 'We start to question ourselves and think, 'Am I worthy?' It can reactivate past trauma of times where we've not felt good or been overlooked, so it's a very deep wound.'
‌
Addressing the incident after so many years may help her lay old ghosts to rest. 'It's probably part of her healing. Talking about what she went through, showing how she's rebuilt her sense of self without shame or embarrassment, is probably helpful,' Stefan adds.
Still, a source close to the star also tells new she may never fully recover from the heartbreak. 'It may be years in her past, but Myleene found the whole thing deeply upsetting – in a way, it will never go away.
'She believes in love and wanted to stay married forever, despite some doubts beforehand. It was very brave of her to speak up. It's only now, that she can be truthful about how much it affected her, as it was such a painful chapter of her life.'
‌
Myleene and former bodyguard Graham got together when she was in Hear'Say and dated for six years before having baby Ava in 2007. Their second daughter, Hero Harper, was born in 2011 and they got married that October. Graham left six months later, and they divorced in 2013.
Myleene later said, 'something didn't feel right', and that the night before their wedding, 'I was in the bath and I was just sobbing.' She also told how the day was a disaster. 'My best mate wasn't even at my wedding,' she said. 'It was miserable… I literally cried the entire reception.
‌
'We had to haggle our way through with the restaurant, could we have some burgers and put the tables together? There was no planning – I wasn't allowed to plan a wedding.'
Their eventual split came after Myleene suspected Graham had been unfaithful again. She says she turned up unannounced where he was working, adding, 'I knew there'd been somebody in that room.' She also said Graham refused to sign a prenup, and that the financial mess sparked by their divorce affected her mental health. 'I couldn't breathe. Finances were spiralling. I thought, 'I'm going to lose everything,'' she said.
Despite vowing never to marry again, she's now engaged to Simon Motson, a PR guru she met on a blind date in 2015. She announced she was pregnant with their first child on Valentine's Day in 2019, and gave birth to their son Apollo that August. His arrival was especially emotional as Myleene experienced four miscarriages before he came along. In an Instagram post in 2020 she wrote, 'I am Mama to 7 babies, Ava, Hero, Apollo my rainbow baby and 4 little stars in the sky.'
The couple announced their engagement in September 2020, but are yet to reveal a wedding date. 'It's one of those things that's rumbling along,' Myleene said last year.
Romantically, Simon popped the question on the fifth anniversary of their first date, after transforming their shed into a replica of the bar they met in. He borrowed the same table and chairs they sat on at London's Little House private members' club. Myleene recalled, 'He even replicated the dinner – burger and fries, followed by cherry pie. When he got down on one knee and started fumbling under the table, I thought he was joking. Then I thought: 'Oh my God, he's for real.' I was speechless.'
