Professionally Louise went back to her single moniker for her 2019 comeback track Stretch and West End performances in productions such as 9 to 5.
But on social media and in other areas of her life, the singer has held on to her married name despite splitting from Jamie in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
Many fans could not understand why she kept Jamie’s last name and wondered if she would change it back to her maiden name after his wedding to Frida.
“Maybe @LouiseRedknapp will stop using her husbands name now. Never understand why you would want to do that,” wrote one disgruntled fan on Twitter.
But Louise explained her kids had a lot to do with the reason why keeps her ex’s surname.
“People ask me about that a lot. First and foremost, my kids are Redknapps,” she told You earlier this year.

“I was married to Jamie for longer than my time without him. So it’s really hard to… It’s like my last bit to cling on to.
“I feel like a Redknapp.”
Jamie’s surprise wedding to his eight-month pregnant girlfriend had many fans wondering if Louise was seeing someone.

Louise is not the only woman who adopted the Redknapp last name after Frida updated her Instagram handle to her new husband’s name.
The Swedish beauty couldn’t wait to become Mrs Redknapp as she changed her Instagram username from @FridaAndersson to @Frida_Redknapp mere hours following their ceremony.
