Harry Redknapp’s sweet gesture to Louise as son Jamie moves on with model

Harry Redknapp has made a lovely gesture to daughter-in-law Louise as his son Jamie has moved on with his new girlfriend.

Louise and Jamie got a divorce in 2017 just months after her Strictly Come Dancing stint ended following their 19-year marriage.

Now Jamie has found love with model Frida Andersson-Lourie while Louise continues to heal from her heartbreak.

Football manager Harry, 73, said he had met the “lovely” and “very nice” Frida but he chose not to elaborate out of respect to Louise.

The former football player insisted he didn’t want to upset his son’s ex-wife.

He told The Sun : “We did meet Frida and she is lovely, very nice, but I don’t want to talk about Jamie’s new relationship.”

He added: “The last thing I want to do is upset Lou. It is upsetting that Jamie and Lou aren’t together. It was a complete shock.”

Harry explained Louise is still very much part of the family and the mother of his grandchildren.

He concluded: “She is the mother of our ­grandkids and she’s still part of the family. But Jamie seems happy.”

Football pundit Jamie is now dating Swedish model Frida.

The pair are said to have bonded over their children and while friends say it’s early days, Jamie and Frida are thought to be falling hard for each other.

Meanwhile, doting mother-of-two Louise has not been on a proper date since the split.

She told Hello magazine : “I’ve not been on a proper old-fashioned date in two and half years since I’ve been divorced.

“I’ve not been asked, ‘Would you like to go on a date to this nice place?’ once.

“I think it’s lovely though, I think people should date more often, just go out and get to know someone and go on a date.”

However she revealed her eldest son Charles, 16, has given her permission to get herself onto the dating scene.
