Louise Redknapp ‘almost gave up’ after reaching rock bottom following split from Jamie

Following her split from her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, Louise Redknapp revealed she “almost gave up” after reaching “the lowest a human could get.” Without her two children, she acknowledged that she would have reached a much lower point.

The 50-year-old footballer, who is dating a new man, split from Jamie from Liverpool and England in 2017. The couple, who have two sons, Beau, 16, and Charley, 20, announced their separation in September 2017 and were divorced that year as well.

Jamie married model Frida Andersson in 2021 despite the fact that the Naked musician had previously admitted to skipping dating for almost six years in an effort to concentrate on her children. Raphael’s son Raphael is the parents of the Sky Sports pundit and his second wife, Frida, who is also the mother of four children from her previous union with Jonathan Lourie.

Louise revealed on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast that if it weren’t for her children, she would have reached a much lower point in her life. She continued, “I just, I think I would have just given up,” adding, “If I didn’t have my kids, I just, I think, I.” I do, in fact. I believe I was simply aware that my children needed me because they were my everything.

She discussed how the public’s scrutiny of her marriage’s breakdown affected her during the conversation. But, she continued, “I can honestly say, when you’re going through something so personal in your own turmoil in your own way, and then you get the barrage of judgment and nastiness.”

“I never realized how cruel and vile people are.” My mind was blown. Whatever had happened in our life was private, which I do believe you are entitled to no matter what, and I was going through a lot as it happened. I was trying to be strong for my kids. And God, I was completely breaking because I was such a bad guy.

Beyond what I believed a human could break, and I’ve been trying to be a mother all along. And it was the same way every time I went out, even though I tried to put on a brave face and do things that weren’t right. I thought everything I did was completely incorrect.

Louise and Drew Michaels, both of whom we love, last year. She told the Loose Women panel last year that she had been single for “a really long time” and that it was “beautiful” to meet someone who makes me feel so happy. “I’m very happy, he’s great, lovely, it’s really nice,” she continued.
