‘I'M LUCKY TO HAVE JAMIE'

Louise Redknapp on the importance of co-parenting as she navigates her new life

- JACK WHITE

Louise and Jamie Redknapp shocked fans back in 2017 when they announced their split after 19 years of marriage. At the time Louise, 45, revealed she’d started to feel ‘like a Stepford Wife’ and added ‘I lost myself’. After stepping out of Jamie’s shadow for a successful appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Louise yearned for her old life as a pop star – and earlier this year released her first studio album in almost two decades, Heavy Love. Last month the former Eternal band member kicked off a headline tour and, although it’s been postponed for now due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, she thanked Jamie, 46, for supporting her dream and stepping in to care for their sons Charley, 15, and 11-year-old Beau while she was on the road.
