Louise Redknapp has firmly set the record straight in the wake of the birth of ex-husband Jamie Redknapp’s new baby son, revealing that she is in ‘the most positive of headspaces’.
Taking to Instagram, the 47-year-old singer made a rare but robust statement on her private life, writing: ‘I try not to read or respond to these things but sometimes they are unavoidable. I’d really love to clarify that ‘Louise’ is not in despair or anything like it!!
‘I have my two gorgeous boys that I adore more than anything in the world, the best family around me and I’m having the time of my life with my career and with the most wonderful friends that a girl could hope for.
‘These stories are there to sell magazines but I’d like to make it clear that I’m in the most positive of headspaces and loving my life.’
She added: ‘Here’s to all the ladies out there that are in control of their lives and living their very best lives!’, before concluding: ‘Come on… women are better than this.’
She and Jamie share two sons, 17-year-old Charley and Beau, 13, and split after 19 years of marriage in 2017.

On November 24, Jamie announced the birth of new son Raphael with his wife Frida Andersson, now Redknapp, whom he wed in an intimate ceremony in October.
The new dad was then seen out and about on a coffee run, looking a little tired, shortly after the birth.
Model Frida, 38, who was first linked to Jamie in August 2020, is also mother to four children – three boys and one girl – with ex-husband Jonathan Lourie, a 58-year-old American hedge fund manager.
