The former Strictly star penned some beautiful words to her ‘special baby boy’, Beau, as he turned 17 years old and posted some sweet pics of the teen from throughout his life
Louise Redknapp took to social media to pay an emotional tribute to her youngest son Beau as he turned 17, writing some beautiful words about her “special baby boy”.
The former Strictly star hopped on Instagram on Monday (10 November) to share a series of pictures from her son’s life. This included one where he looked remarkably like his mother – with one key difference. As the two posed together, even slightly stooped, Beau was a whole head taller than Louise.
In the caption of the post, Louise wrote: “To my special baby boy words can not describe how proud I am of you! My favourite times are being in the car singing at the top of our voices as I take you to football training, I love your approach to life and how you throw yourself into everything, good luck in all you have got coming your way, you’re charming, you’re fun and full of kindness and I’m so proud be your mum!”

“Happy Birthday Beau Beau. Love Mum xxx,” the singer continued. Louise has two sons – Charley, 21, and Beau, 17 – with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp. The pair married in 1998 in a ceremony in Bermuda and divorced in 2017.
Several of the photos Louise shared included both Beau and Charley. One, taken from a holiday at the beach, showed just how much taller both of her sons are than her. Standing all together, Louise only reaches the shoulder of Charley.
Just a few months ago, Louise posted a similar message about Charley, as he turned 21. Sharing pictures of her eldest to Instagram, she wrote: “How did this happen?! My baby is 21 years old today!!!
“Chaz, I am so proud of you and the charming young man you have become. You’ve been my partner in crime and shadow since day one, and nothing makes me happier than seeing you living your best life.
“I would, however, like to request that you now at the age of 21, learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we’ll get there for next year. Happy Birthday Charley, have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum Xxx.”
This message sparked conversation, as Louise’s words came after Jamie threw a big birthday bash for his son, which she did not attend. Fans noticed that she had avoided the event and hopped in the comments to say it was a “shame” she hadn’t attended the party.
One fan commented: “Lovely words Louise! Such a shame you’re not all together celebrating today.” Another said: “Would’ve loved seeing Louise at Charley’s birthday, she clearly adores her boys.”
During her divorce, Louise felt like she had been painted the villain. She told Fearne Cotton that she “never realised” how horrible people could be. “I never realised people could be so unkind and say such terrible things. It blew my mind.”
She added that she leaned on her children for support. “If I didn’t have my kids, I think I would’ve just given up. My kids were my everything, and they needed me.”
