When did Louise Redknapp and Jamie Redknapp divorce?
Ex-footballer Jamie Redknapp and Louise called it quits in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
The former girl band member confessed that she was “open” to the idea of meeting someone new, but romance wasn’t at the top of her priority list.
She said The sun: ‘I’m just open to what can happen, I’m not actively looking, it’s not my main goal in life.
“But if that’s how it goes and I meet someone who blows me away and who’s wonderful and kind and wonderful, then I would be so open to exploring that, but no, I don’t download apps, well, not on the moment.’
The singer revealed that she wouldn’t hide it from the world if she met the right person, but she wasn’t dating ‘for the sake of it’.
She continued, “If I met that amazing person, I would never hide it. If they are right, they are right, and I would be the first to embrace it and share it.”
After their divorce, the sports correspondent married model Frida Andersson, 38, in October 2021.
The newlyweds announced the birth of their child the following month, 13 years after Jamie’s last child was born.
