Louise Redknapp has explained why she hasn’t dated since her split from former husband Jamie Redknapp.
Following her successful stint on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, the 47-year-old singer and the 49-year-old former professional footballer split in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
Following their split, Jamie found love elsewhere. He was initially linked to model Julia Restoin Roitfeld, before going on to marry Swedish model Frida Andersson in an intimate ceremony in London.

But now, Louise revealed how her ex husband’s relationships have had an effect on the life of their sons, 18-year-old Charley and 13-year-old Beau. Because of this, she’s been reluctant to start dating again.
Louise explained: “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.”
The 9-5 Musical actress continued: “Their life changed and I felt like I needed to be their one staple.”
She added: “That’s just something I think a lot of mums would feel.”

However despite her priorities being with her children, the Eternal star told Hello! Magazine that she’s not ruling out meeting somebody in the future.
She insisted: “I’m not averse to dating or meeting somebody.”
Louise added: “My boys will be absolutely fine if I’m dating or if I’m going out with anyone, they will be my biggest supporters as long as I’m happy.”
