Former spouse was a model, it's revealed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exposed

'revealed' is the definition.
('expose' can be a synonym of 'reveal')

'former spouse was a model' is the wordplay.
'former spouse' becomes 'ex' (an ex-spouse).
'was a model' becomes 'posed' (I've seen this before).
'ex'+'posed'='EXPOSED'

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for exposed that I've seen before include "Deprived of protection" , "Brought to light" , "at mercy of weather" , "Not hidden" , "Unmasked, revealed" .)
