A source previously told us how Lucie and ex Ethan's lives were "headed in different directions."
But at one stage,
Lucie, who previously represented the UK in
Eurovision

Speaking about her ex,
who works as the private client director for
luxury
brand Moët Hennessy
, she said: "Ethan is everything I could ever have wanted in a man. I count my lucky stars I found him every single day.
"As soon as I saw Ethan, looking so dashing in his blue wedding suit, I started to well up.
"Then the male voice choir started to sing our song, God Only Knows, by The Beach Boys, and an overwhelming feeling of intense emotion came over me.
"Suddenly, every precious memory of our time together came flooding back and I couldn't stop the tears. I felt so elated and knew that marrying him was the best thing I would ever do."
Chicago-born Ethan added: "It was incredible seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time. I couldn't take my eyes off her."
The pair reconnected after first meeting at boot camp during the filming of The X Factor 15 years ago, after which Lucie made it into the final 12.
They stayed in touch when Ethan moved back to his native
Chicago
before going out on their first date five years later.
