But in a new vlog on her YouTube channel titled " Life Update - I missed you!" Keisha opened up about secret romances in her life, including one suitor she fell for so much she moved to Canada to be with him.
Now she's looking onwards and upwards and is hopeful for what lies ahead for her after embracing single life.
Talking to the camera, Keisha admitted she was "low key embarrassed" talking about her personal life, but wanted to open up.
As part of the long chat, she said: "I went through a breakup, and we actually were living together in Canada. So my ex boyfriend is Canadian, and it didn't work out, and that's very difficult to kind of navigate."
The revelation comes as Keisha opened up about all aspects of her dating life and former romances, touching on difficult relationships that "could destroy someone".
Although she didn't mention the ex by name, Keisha said she wanted to be more |open and vulnerable" with fans as she is with those in her life, but noted: "I haven't had the best response with those, [or the] best experiences when I've been that way.
"Unfortunately, my vulnerability and my open heart has led to, you know, maybe opening doors to people and things that could definitely destroy a person, or try to at least.
"But I'm making decisions today that will allow me to enjoy things way more."
Keisha revealed that she is someone who is often in long-term relationships – joking: "I've been single now for, like, I want to say, like, a good part of a year and a half.
"This feels so weird because I don't know how to date. So this is the phase that I'm in now."
She then revealed: "I can only put my heart and my energy in one place.
"So if dating means dating loads of people and speaking to loads of people, I need to be taught how to do that."
As Keisha embraces single life and continues to tour to sold out arenas with Sugababes, former footballer Atieno is preparing to face court for a string of charges waged against him regarding her.
Atieno has been charged with controlling and coercive behaviour between December 2015 and May 2018 and assault occasioning actual bodily harm between January 2012 and January 2015.
He is also accused of harassment between January 2021 and December last year and an alleged breach of a non-molestation order.
It's alleged during the height of their romance, Atieno would control what Keisha ate, what lipstick she couldn't wear, and what she could watch on TV.
He is set to enter his plea at Southwark Crown Court on August 22, with a five-day trial set for April 13 next year.

Justin Trudeau takes major step in Katy Perry ‘romance' with concert date
In a pairing no one saw coming but everyone is now watching, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted attending Katy Perry's Montreal concert. The gig comes just days after the two were filmed dining together at a high-end local restaurant. The sighting has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship, turning a political retirement into something far splashier. Social media erupted late Tuesday night as concertgoers at Perry's July 30 show shared footage of Trudeau, 53, in the audience at the Bell Centre. He wasn't alone, as his 16-year-old daughter Ella-Grace was at his side, beaming as the pop star powered through her chart-topping setlist. But it wasn't just a father-daughter night out that got people talking. Eyewitness videos appear to show Trudeau visibly enjoying Perry's performance, mouthing lyrics to Dark Horse and watching her acrobatic stage routine with wide-eyed admiration. One clip shows him momentarily frozen as Perry strikes a pose mid-song, a soft grin possibly betraying more than casual appreciation. The concert appearance follows closely on the heels of the much buzzed-about dinner between Trudeau and Perry at Le Violon, an upscale French restaurant in downtown Montreal. The two were filmed together on July 28 in a moment that has since gone viral, fueling wild speculation and a flurry of memes. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that both Trudeau and Perry are recently single. Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire in 2023, while Perry reportedly split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom earlier this summer. Though there has been no official comment from either camp, the timing and visibility of their outings have left fans and media alike leaning in with curiosity. More Trending While some observers are dismissing the events as coincidental or simply a high-profile friendship, others have been quick to project something more. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Critics, however, have pointed to the spectacle as a calculated rebranding effort for both parties – Perry, 40, shifting her public image post-Orlando, and Trudeau stepping further into post-political life with a dose of celebrity glamour. But if that's the case, it's working. The internet hasn't stopped talking since the sightings emerged. For now, it remains to be seen whether this is a flirtation, a friendship, or just a fascinating coincidence. Got a story?

Wearing a sequin dress, Katherine posed for photos on the red carpet. The highly anticipated film sequel sees Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reprise their Freaky Friday roles. Back in June, it was revealed that Katherine was expecting baby number four. She debuted her baby bump later that month, in a side-profile Instagram snap. Katherine wore a red figure-hugging dress with a white lace panel at the front. The fabric clung to her growing tummy and she styled her blonde shoulder-length locks poker straight to complete her glam look. Katherine took her selfie with the help of a mirror and simply uploaded with the caption: "Wednesday." Meanwhile, news of the exciting addition came just two months after Katherine's skin cancer diagnosis. She posted a photo of her arm with a plaster covering part of it after she underwent surgery for the second time in a week. Katherine Ryan pregnant with FOURTH child after hiding last pregnancy from BBC The comedian captioned it: "Done," with a green tick and a red love heart emoji. The TV star had the mole removed privately last week, but after it was discovered to be cancerous, Katherine had to undergo another procedure. Last week, the TV favourite revealed she has melanoma on the latest episode of her podcast Telling Everybody Everything. It's the second time Katherine has been diagnosed with the disease, after having first had it at the age of 21 in 2004. Revealing that she felt uneasy about the recent mole on her arm, Katherine explained that during an initial visit to the doctor she was given the all clear. She said: "I know you should never google things but I'm actually really worried. Normally I'm that positive person "I think it's really easy to take a diagnosis of 'you're healthy' and walk away. "But the mole kept changing, I know a lot about melanoma, I had melanoma as a very young woman - aged 21 - on my leg, I've spoken about that before. "It was flat, it wasn't that big but it was melanoma. It is a deadly form of skin cancer and it does spread quickly. "I just thought that this mole wasn't right. It's on my arm. I showed pictures of it on my social media. I went in and I wanted the doctor to remove it and stitch it up in a straight line. "But even when he looked at it, he was like, 'it's not melanoma, it's totally fine, I will do a shave and send it away for testing'. Katherine added: "And he rang me today and it did come back as melanoma. Early melanoma. The doctor was shocked and told me I need to go back. "It just feels crazy to me, what could have happened, if I hadn't been my own advocate - and I will continue to be my own advocate."
