Lousie Redknapp opened up on finding love again after divorcing ex-husband Jamie Redknapp as she discussed her new relationship with beau Drew Michael on Wednesday’s Loose Women
Louise Redknapp gushed over her new beau Drew Michael as she admitted she had been on her “own for a long time” during an appearance Loose Women.
She said: “I’m very happy, he’s great and lovely. It’s really nice, it’s been a really long time for me. I’ve been on my own for a long time and it’s lovely to have met someone who makes me so happy.”
Louise debuted her new romance after a night out in London last week. The Naked hitmaker looked coy as she left The Groucho Club with her boyfriend, as the duo had just been celebrating comedian Jimmy Carr’s 51st birthday. The pair kept their distance but it was later confirmed they are in a relationship, and it is the first time the singer has gone public with a romance since divorcing Jamie Redknapp in 2017.
Speaking exclusively with the Mirror a few hours after being spotted publicly with Drew for the first time, Louise smiled as she addressed the new romance in her love life. “It’s so difficult with your personal life… it’s all good,” the mum-of-two said, before adding: “Yeah, I’ve got nothing else to say on it, everything about it has already been written.”

Drew, whose full name is Andrew Michael, is a businessman and the Chief Executive Officer at Overwatch Group, also known as Overwatch Aerospace Ltd. According to MailOnline, he worked as a Platoon Commander and a Fire Support Group Commander for the Armed Forces, and in 2010, he was given a Mention in Despatches for his work with the Rifles – an infantry regiment of the British Army – as part of the Operational Honours and Awards List.
Louise previously admitted she wasn’t actively looking for love following her divorce from former footballer Jamie, with whom she shares two sons, Charley and Beau. Earlier this year, the Eternal singer admitted she was “open to what may happen”, but finding love wasn’t her “number one goal in life”. “But, if it goes that way and I met somebody who swept me off my feet and was amazing and kind and great, then I’d be so open to exploring that, but no, I’m not downloading apps, well, not at the minute,” she added.
Meanwhile, it was reported Louise was warned against her new boyfriend after the “painful” end of Drew’s last relationship. A source told Closer magzine: “Drew didn’t behave in the best way in a former relationship – he left one girl in particular feeling hurt. It’s good news that he’s happy dating Louise, but there is a worry she could end up heartbroken.”
