However, the cafe was never ready to open fully and a friend told The Sun last year that they were selling up amid rising costs.
The source said: ‘It’s the latest in a sequence of setbacks. The new plan is selling up and moving to Costa Rica to live off the land.’
The couple previously looked at building a community in Central America with Hannah telling the publication: ‘That’s the dream, to move to Costa Rica and buy some land or a farm and live the simple life with the girls.’
The singer, who has suffered from an autoimmune condition since 2013, had been set to join her former band on their comeback tour but pulled out following a feud over contracts.
Following the row, the other members – Rachel Stevens, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett – announced that they would continue as a five-piece.
She is said to have been blindsided but the announcement, with her left on bad terms with the band in which she rose to fame in the early 2000s.
The mother of two then reportedly drafted in lawyers and made the bold move to release her autobiography on the same day they will take to the stage.
All seven members of the chart-topping band initially confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary tour.

Two months later, band member Paul Cattermole died, Hannah then accepted a five-figure sum to tell her story, which left a bitter taste in the remaining band member’s mouths.
Hannah apologised to S Club’s fans for deciding to leave but said she had to do what was best for herself and her family.
Hannah claimed she hadn’t been in touch with her former bandmates since she left the band, admitting she is sad not to be but insisted she wishes them ‘all the best’
Paul was found dead in his ground floor flat in Wareham, Dorset in April 2023.
The star, who made a living as a tarot card reader after quitting the group in 2002, was said to have been in ‘good spirits’ when he was seen at a park close to his home days earlier.
A spokeswoman for Dorset Coroner’s Office said: ‘We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded. As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest.’

Last year Hannah declined to return for the Dancing On Ice final after being ‘left heartbroken at being sent home second’ (pictured with partner Andy Buchanan)

‘While the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police has confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances.
‘Paul’s family, friends and fellow members of S Club request privacy at this time.’
The band paid tribute to Cattermole on social media. Writing alongside a black and white photograph of him in the band’s heyday, they said: ‘We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel. We were so lucky to have had him in our lives and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.
‘He will be so deeply missed by each and every one of us.’
After quitting S Club 7 in 2002, Cattermole made a living as a tarot card reader after falling on hard times.
He reinvented himself as a ‘spiritual psychic detective’, earning money by charging £39.99 for reading on a spiritual website.
