Louise Redknapp's savage comment about Jamie's new wife as son struggled to cope

Louise Redknapp's savage comment about Jamie moving on so quickly following their split has resurfaced after new comments the football pundit made about his baby's arrival.

Jamie and his new wife Frida Andersson welcomed their first child together back in November 2021, not long after they tied the knot. In a new interview, Jamie revealed that his eldest son - who he shares with ex Louise- struggled in the wake of the new arrival.

Asked about becoming a father again in his late 40s during a chat on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, he admitted he was "a bit more relaxed" than he used to be.

Sharing the "most difficult part" of having another child, he added: "It was actually telling the kids that they were going to have a younger brother. It didn’t go down that well with Charley, I've got to be honest. I went to pick him up at school and tell him Frida was pregnant [and] it went down like a lead balloon, if I’m honest."

Discussing Charley's reaction, he explained: "I got it, I totally understood it because his world had been turned upside down — you’re married, everything feels straightforward, and then you meet someone else and you get married again."

When Charley turned 21 earlier this year, Jamie paid tribute to his eldest and thanked him for being the "best big brother". He wrote: "You’re also the best big brother — the way you are with Rapha and Beau melts my heart.

"Such a great role model; they’re so lucky to have you. Now that you’re 21, I’m hoping you’ll finally start beating me at golf… but I won’t make it easy! Can’t wait for a few days on the course together."

Now, Louise's comment soon after the pair split and it was confirmed Jamie was in a new relationship has resurfaced.

"I've felt this as a mum and, to say this in the most sort of respectful way, my boys’ lives changed dramatically and then it changed again when obviously Jamie got married and had a family," she said in 2022, "The children’s life changed and I felt like I needed to be their one staple. That's just something I think a lot of mums would feel."

Whilst Jamie is now with Frida, Louise is with businessman Drew Michael. Speaking about Drew, she shared: "He is really great with my boys, he's a great friend to them. He's just a really great guy. I feel very lucky to have met him."

Discussing the fact he is nine years younger than her, she added: "We live in a society where if it's the other way round it doesn't get talked about – but it does get brought up."
