Louise Redknapp has split from her boyfriend of over two years, as her search for love goes on. The 51-year-old singer has broken things off with businessman Drew Michael have called it a day, bringing an end to her first relationship since the breakdown of her marriage to ex-husband Jamie.
The mum-of-two shocked fans with news of her split from the former footballer after 19 years of marriage.
In the years after their split, Louise candidly admitted that she regrets rushing through the 2017 divorce and said she wished she’d communicated her struggles rather than walking away.
After years of being a stay-at-home mum, Louise was left feeling frustrated with her career. She had said goodbye to music to help raise Charley, 21, and Beau, 17 while Sky Sports regular Jamie was flourishing on TV. The frustrated Eternal singer realised she also needed to focus on her dreams with the boys growing up and stepped onto the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor in 2016.
But within a year, it was all over for the couple.
Louise has been open about wanting to escape her “Stepford Wife” role but she later admitted that she shouldn’t have blamed her marriage for the sole cause of her unhappiness. “I’m scared about the future – Jamie and I have got to a really positive place with each other, but I don’t know what life is going to be like,” she told You magazine back in 2019.
“I’m nervous about work and career and all those things, because I’m not young. And people are judgmental.”
Despite being the one who filed for divorce, the end of their seemingly rock-solid romance nevertheless hit Louise for six.
She only decided to dip her toe back into the dating world after a heart-to-heart with her sons and declared herself ready to find love again.
According to reports. Louise split from the businessman and ex-Army officer, 42, earlier this summer. An insider told The Sun: “Louise and Drew decided to end things a little while ago.
“Things had been really good between them but it felt like their relationship had run its course and they both thought it was best to move on.
“It was all very amicable and although it’s never fun when a relationship ends, Louise has thrown herself back into her social life and her busy work schedule.”
The source continued: “She’s in no rush to jump back into another relationship because she feels very fulfilled with her life right now, but she’ll see what happens.”
During an open discussion about their relationship, Louise shared some insights. She said: “Drew is great with my boys. He’s just a really great guy. I feel very lucky to have met him.”
Following Louise and Jamie’s split, he subsequently tied the knot with model Frida Andersson in 2021, and they share a four-year-old son, Raphael.
