Louise Redknapp has revealed that her mum felt that she might reunite with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp and gave her a ‘pep talk’ about breaking ‘to come back together’, which inspired her 2019 album, Heavy Love.
Speaking on Steve Anderson’s Such A Good Feeling podcast, the former Strictly Come Dancing star shared the inspiration for the song Breaking Back Together, explaining that it stemmed from something her mum, Lynne, had said to her.
Talking about staying in Lynne’s ‘tiny little house’ with her sons, 17-year-old Charlie and Beau, 13, the 47-year-old recalled her mother telling her that ‘everything was going to be alright’.
The star remembered: ‘She said to me, “You know what Lou, sometimes you have to break to come back together. You are going to have to accept that this isn’t going to go away overnight.”’
Louise then explained how that sparked in her the idea for the song’s lyrics and it resonated with her so much, she added: ‘That’s how most of that album came about.’
The singer has also recently set the record straight in the wake of the birth of ex-husband Jamie Redknapp’s new baby son with wife Frida Andersson, revealing that she is in ‘the most positive of headspaces’.

Hitting back at claims she was ‘in despair’, Louise made a rare but robust statement on her Instagram account, 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.’
