Who is Marcel Somerville’s wife Rebecca Vieira and are the pair still married?
MARCEL Somerville, aka Dr Marcel is back on the hunt for love in ITV2’s Love Island All Stars.
But it seems his ex, Rebecca Vieira, has thrown a bit of shade his way since he decided to join the show. Here’s what we know about her.
Who is Marcel Somerville’s wife Rebecca Vieira?
Rebecca Vieira’s relationship with reality TV star Marcel Somerville has definitely kept fans and the media buzzing.
The pair share a son, Roman, and have faced their fair share of ups and downs in the public eye.
From infidelity rumours to Marcel’s recent return to the spotlight on Love Island All Stars, the couple have been dealt a few blows.
Born on August 16, 1995, in Portugal, Rebecca has carved out her own path as a social media star.
She’s especially popular on Instagram, where she shares lifestyle, fashion, family, and travel content.
Plus, her YouTube channel, Life With MR, gives fans an inside look at her life through vlogs about family adventures, daily moments, and behind-the-scenes snippets.
Rebecca and Marcel tied the knot in August 2022, a little over a year after welcoming their son in January 2021.
While she tends to keep her personal life relatively private, recent events surrounding Marcel’s reality TV comeback have put her in the spotlight once again.
Are Marcel and Rebecca still together?
Fans were surprised to hear that the 39-year-old is heading back to Love Island, especially since he’s still legally married to Rebecca.
That said, the two are in the process of divorcing.
Chatting exclusively to The Sun, Love Island executive producer Mike Spencer urged fans to “give the guy a break” and insisted Marcel is a single man.
When questioned about Marcel’s marital status, Mike replied: “He had a wife! Marcel is single. He’s ready to mingle.
“Give the guy a break. He’s had a tough time.”
The Sun also asked Mike if Rebecca will be entering the villa to confront her estranged husband, but he replied: “No, she’s not.”
The exact timing of their split is still a bit of a mystery.
Back in March 2024, Rebecca made headlines when she publicly apologised for what she called a “huge mistake” and admitted to “foolish” actions after cheating allegations surfaced.
I’ve made a huge mistake, I’ve embarrassed not only my husband but myself and both our families.

She shared a heartfelt apology on Instagram, addressing the situation head-on.
At that point, Rebecca and the former Blazin’ Squad star had been married for just over a year.
However, it was reported she sent flirty texts to US rapper Slim Jxmmi behind his back.
She wrote: “By now most of you would have seen what’s going on.
“I’ve made a huge mistake, I’ve embarrassed not only my husband but myself and both our families.
“My actions were foolish and have hurt so many people around us but most importantly my husband.
“I want to publicly apologise to my Marcel, just as loudly as the rest of the noise.
“I love you beyond measure, with no doubts, with no question, you are my beginning and my end my forever love. I love you.”
By June 2024, it looked like Marcel and Rebecca were trying to patch things up.
When asked about where things stood in their relationship, Marcel told the MailOnline: “I’ve gone through a little bit of a crazy time in my life.
“I’ll talk more about it at a later time, as I’m not really ready to talk about what’s going on right now.
“We’re working through the situation to get the best outcome that we can.”
When asked if he’d ever consider joining Love Island: All Stars in the future, Marcel made it clear that he and Rebecca were still together at the time.
He added: “I’m married, so doing it isn’t in my view right now, and it wouldn’t have been at the time.”
In early January 2025, speculation about Marcel joining Love Island All Stars alongside his ex, Gabby Allen, stirred up more about their complicated history.
However, Rebecca seemed unbothered, treating her 636,000+ Instagram followers to a stunning bikini snap.
Rocking a patterned brown bikini top, a matching hat, and ripped denim shorts, the brunette beauty posed, gazing down at the floor.
Rebecca also shared a quote over a field of flowers, which read: “What makes you beautiful is that you stayed soft in a life that tried to harden you.”
