Louise Redknapp is using her new music to channel her heartbreak over the breakdown of her marriage to Jamie Redknapp.
The 46-year-old is reportedly finding it “cathartic” to let out her emotions about her ex moving on with his new girlfriend Frida Andersson-Lourie, who he is expecting a baby with.
A source told heat! magazine: “She’s been doing a lot of soul-searching – writing about her heartbreak over the marriage breakdown, and seeing your ex move on and have a baby with someone else.
“It’s really brutal, but Louise is finding it massively cathartic.”
However the insider added that her friends are allegedly eager for her to “concentrate on moving on” instead of dwelling on the divorce.
“Her friends have said that this could cause her more pain,” they said.
“They think it’s time she concentrated on moving on, rather than going over the past with Jamie, but she’s finding it tough.”
The singer and footballer split in 2017 after 20 years of marriage, with Louise previously taking responsibility for their separation both publicly and in her autobiography ‘You’ve Got This’.
The couple share sons Beau, 12, and Charley, 16.
Jamie and Frida’s baby is due this November and it was revealed they are expecting a baby boy.
Jamie recently made his new relationship Instagram official, sharing a photo of him and his pregnant girlfriend on holiday in Santorini.
Seeing the picture was “incredibly difficult“ for Louise according to a source.
They told Closer : “Obviously it’s been incredibly difficult for Louise to see the pictures, especially as so many mutual friends have liked them.
“She has been coming to terms with the pregnancy, but this is the first time she’s seen them together looking like a real family, and seeing Frida’s bump.
“While of course she only wants Jamie to be happy, it’s never going to be easy watching your ex move on, let alone start a new family with someone else when you share children together, so it was a bit of a blow.”
“She’s trying her best to stay positive and focus on her own love life, as she’s longing to meet someone new.”
