Meanwhile, Raphael is Jamie’s third son. He shares two children with pop star Louise Redknapp. The couple married in 1998 but divorced in 2017.
In her book, Louise hinted that her stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016 led to the breakdown of her marriage with Jamie.
Meanwhile, it was reported that Louise Redknapp was ‘struggling’ following her ex-husband Jamie’s wedding to Frida. A source close to the star said she was experiencing very ‘mixed emotions’.
Louise also reportedly hadn’t had time to prepare for Jamie’s wedding as her ex-husband had wanted to marry Frida before Raphael was born.
