Jamie Redknapp Offers Rare Insight Into Blended Family on Romesh Ranganathan Show

He describes a complex household of seven children, crediting Raphael as a unifying presence.

Overview

  • On the podcast, Redknapp says blending a large family "isn't always easy" but believes they have managed it "pretty well."
  • He recalls that telling son Charley about Frida Andersson's pregnancy "went down like a lead balloon," while younger son Beau adjusted more easily.
  • Redknapp says Raphael, born in 2021 after he married Frida, has become "the glue for everybody."
  • He praises Frida as "a diamond" and "fiercely competitive," noting their seven-child household includes her four children from a previous marriage to Jonathan Lourie.
  • He cites parenting lessons from his parents, Harry and Sandra, as a guide for being both a friend and firm, and his ex-wife Louise is dating Drew Michael with no current plans for marriage.
