Jamie Redknapp Reveals Eldest Son’s Initial Disappointment Over Baby News, Now Embraces Half-Brother

He shared the rare personal detail in a TV interview following years of keeping the 2017 breakup out of public view.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Redknapp said telling his sons about Frida Andersson’s pregnancy was the hardest part of becoming a father again.
  • He recalled that Charley’s reaction “went down like a lead balloon,” which he said he understood because his son’s world had been upended by the remarriage.
  • Redknapp added that after time to adjust, Charley, 21, and Beau, 16, have embraced being big brothers to Raphael, who turns four next month.
  • In a July Instagram tribute for Charley’s 21st birthday, Redknapp praised him as “the best big brother” and a strong role model for his siblings.
  • Louise Redknapp, who divorced Jamie in 2017, has been dating businessman Drew Michael since 2023 and has said she is not planning to remarry for now.
