Louise Redknapp has reportedly ended her two-year relationship with boyfriend Drew Michael, with the former Eternal singer, 51, and the business leader, 42, deciding to part ways amicably. According to a source cited by The Sun, the couple, who began dating in October 2023, felt their relationship had 'run its course' and that it was best to move on. Drew has since left the UK to work abroad, while Louise has 'thrown herself back into her social life and her busy work schedule'.
Amicable split after two years together
The news comes after Louise had spoken warmly about Drew in an interview last year, describing him as 'a great guy' and saying they were having 'a lovely time together'. She also addressed their nine-year age gap, dismissing criticism of being labelled a 'cougar' as 'water off a duck's back'. The split marks the end of a relationship that began in October 2023, following Louise's high-profile divorce from former footballer Jamie Redknapp in 2017, after 19 years of marriage.
Louise and Jamie share two sons, Charlie, 20, and William, 16. The former Strictly Come Dancing star has previously spoken candidly about the emotional toll of her divorce, revealing on Ferne Cotton's Happy Place podcast that she felt 'blamed' for the split and was 'breaking' under the weight of public judgment. She said, 'If I didn't have my kids, I just, I think I would have just given up. I really do. I think I just knew that my kids were my everything and they needed me.'
Louise's past struggles and moving forward
In the podcast, Louise reflected on the 'barrage of judgment and nastiness' she faced, saying she 'never realised people could be so unkind' and that it 'blew my mind'. She admitted to trying to stay strong for her sons while feeling like she was 'absolutely breaking'. Following the divorce, Jamie Redknapp married Swedish model Frida Andersson in 2021, and they have a son named Raphael, born in November 2022.
Louise has not yet publicly commented on the split, and Metro has contacted her representatives for further comment. The singer and TV personality has remained active in her career, with a busy work schedule and a vibrant social life, indicating she is focusing on positive aspects of her life after the relationship ended.
