Louise Redknapp shares rare photo with son amid Jamie ‘split’ rumours

Usually keeps her children away from the spotlight

Louise Redknapp has snuggled up to youngest son Beau for a rare selfie – amid rumours she’s thinking about reconciling with estranged husband Jamie.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star posted a beautiful photo to Instagram on Friday showing her and nine-year-old son Beau.

She captioned it: “I love this little man more then words can say happy birthday my big boy.”

Fans were quick to join Louise, 43, in wishing Beau a happy birthday and gushed over the sweet mother-son image.

One fan said: “Gorgeous pic, Louise. You’ve had so much negativity recently regarding your personal life. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate what’s important in life. Loving our children regardless. You shouldn’t have to explain your actions to anyone. It’s private and should remain so. Have a wonderful day with your son.”

Well said!

Louise and Jamie are also parents to son Charley, 13.

The couple, who married back in 1998, have rarely left the headlines in recent months, among ongoing speculation about the state of their relationship.

Louise confirmed last month they were living apart but praised Jamie as an “amazing” man.

She told Stella magazine: “He’s an amazing man and we’ve had 20 good years together. I know he’s trying to understand that I do need to do this.

“People might look at me and think I’ve got everything, but a sweeping staircase and designer handbag doesn’t really do it for me.

“I have no idea what is going to happen, all I know is that I fought for this, it’s taken everything, but this is something I need to do – for me.”

However, it was claimed this week that Louise has been thinking about a reunion with Jamie.

A so-called insider told Now magazine: “Louise has started to wobble and really misses Jamie and her family.

“It’s all been a hard call for her, and there have been times when she’s felt stronger and times she felt weaker about being apart from Jamie.

“And now she’s seriously wavering on her decision.”

So far there’s been no word from Louise or Jamie on whether that’s true.

The pair’s marriage reportedly broke down after Louise’s stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016, which apparently gave her a new sense of freedom and ambition.

Her pal and Strictly co-star Daisy Lowe has been blamed for helping Louise rediscover her independence, hence leading to the marriage split.

However, Louise has fiercely defended Daisy in interviews, calling her a great friend and her rock during the tough time.

She told Stella: “Daisy is a mate who is an incredible cheerleader at a time when I’ve needed a lot of support.”
